Editor, Gazette-Journal:
Not everyone supports the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. U.N. Resolution 2117 (U.N. Small Arms Treatywhich all members signed except Russia) lists 21 points dealing with firearms control and #11 calls for member states to support weapons collection and disarmament of all U.N. countries (which includes America). The U.S. Senate Amendment 139 to this resolution was added to Uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. It passed the Senate 53-46. Sen. Warner voted against this amendment to uphold Second Amendment rights.
Senate Bill 744Immigration Reform grants immediate legal status for most illegal immigrants in the U.S. An amendment was proposed by Sen. Paul to first Secure the Border before processing provisional immigrants. Sen. Warner voted with Sen. Reid to kill this amendment.
You may agree or disagree with these votes on gun rights and border security, but it is important to know that politicians on both sides say what you want to hear, but often vote differently with a host of excuses why. It is important to track the voting records of each of your representatives in the House and Senate, contact them often, and then decide if they represent your principles and if you can support them during election time. The same is true for our Virginia General Assembly. American self-governance means that our representatives answer to the people. However, it requires diligence of the people.
Do your homework and vote your principles, not your party. Start with a search of http://www.senate.gov and http://www.house.gov or just Google questions about bills or U.N. resolutions you have heard or read about and begin your search for truth. No computer? Ask your kids or grandkids to help and take a trip to the library; it will be a good lesson in civics for all. Dont count on Super PACs, lobbyists and politicians to spin their version for you. Decide for yourself.

Dear Editor: Scott Walker is endorsed with an A+ rating by the NRA; he will protect your Second Amendment Rights. He signed Wisconsin's "concealed carry" law, making it clear you can protect yourself in public, and the "castle doctrine" law, making it clear you can protect yourself in your home. He supports the state constitutional amendment guaranteeing your right to keep and bear arms, and supports Wisconsin's hunting heritage.
Mary Burke will give us the same extremist Democrat ideology, more gun control, no enforcement of the laws on the books, budget deficits, less private-sector jobs, higher taxes. Burke shares Obama's "hope and change" philosophy, which tested becomes "despair and lawlessness."
Scott Walker cut taxes, reforms that give the average family an extra $322 to spend. Walker revealed his platform for a second term: more tax cuts, continue the freeze on UW System and technical college tuition, replace Common Core academic standards with an in-state alternative. Wisconsin's voter ID law is backed by Walker as well as drug testing for anyone requesting unemployment or food stamps. Taxpayers who pay the bill for those needing help want assurance those who seek help take steps to help themselves.
