Hello, all.
I've been a member for some time now, but rarely post. Bear with me. I apologize in advance if I violate rules or make a fool of myself, because I don't frequent this site nearly as much as I ought to. However, I'm fed up with something and I believe this may be of significant interest to you all. This is political in nature, so if the moderators deem it objectionable, or need to move it, so be it.
I am fed up with Senator Lugar. He is not the conservative he'd like you to believe him to be. There are many reasons I believe it’s his time to go, and I would encourage you all to do your own research of his voting record over the last several years and make up your own mind. I am very active in emailing my representatives (Lugar, Coats, Rokita) often about many topics. Lugar's most recent communication with me is simply unacceptable, and I think you all might agree.
Upon my honor as a Christian, father, law-enforcement officer and gun enthusiast, I hereby swear and affirm that this copy/paste below is a direct communication from Senator Lugar to me as recieved yesterday with zero modification, deletion or subversion:

Dear Mr. Newton:
Thank you for following up with me concerning your support for proposals such as H.R. 822, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act. This legislation would require all states to honor concealed-carry permits issued in another state.
While I appreciate knowing your support for this legislation, I support the position held by law enforcement organizations that state and local officials should be afforded the ability to determine proper concealed-carry laws and regulations, including whether or not to honor permits issued in other states.
Thank you, again, for contacting me. While I regret that we disagree on this matter, I am hopeful that you will continue to correspond with me on matters of importance to you.
Sincerely,
Richard G. Lugar
United States Senator

As you can see, Senator Lugar believes that our rights regarding the 2nd amendment end at the state line. I find that completely untenable. And I, for one of many, can assure you that not all "law enforecement organizations" see this topic as such a blanket denial as he does.
When you vote in the primaries this coming election, consider the whole story before you cast your ballot.
