A Letter to My Senator
A letter to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand:
I am an African-American woman, married and the mother of four. I am contacting you because I know contacting Sen. Schumer is to speak on deaf ears. As a woman, I insist that you abstain from voting to amend any part of the Second Amendment in the name of "public safety". Doing so just to stand in lock step with your party causes me, as a women, wife and mother to be exposed to harm from criminals. Why are you doing this? Why do you not cry out when scores of inner city black children are killed by violence due to illegally obtained handguns that are in the hands of criminals? When little white children are murdered, now you feel that you need to vote to infringe on a constitutional right that I have to protect my children. It's cruel. It's wrong and will do NOTHING to stop criminals who don't care what laws you pass. I cannot help but believe that it's not about crime but about regulating those of us who obey laws because you in power believe that we are easier to control: Criminals are not as easy for you do deal with and your support of any measure that dilutes my right to defend myself and my family proves that. I urge you to leave the Second Amendment alone and enforce the laws already there to stop criminals!

New York in my rearveiw mirror.
Soon and very soon, New York will be but a bittersweet memory in the lives of the Ellanson family.
Why? Sad, but in a opinionated nutshell, it is due to the progress of the state government in its march towards totalitarianism.
New York, like other state government fellow travelers (Northeast and west coast), will not cease until its governments establish utter control over its citizenry in ways that will spell disaster for individual freedom and self determination. I, for one, refuse to comply with this inevitability.
Rather than dwell in anger (notice I did not say fear), I and my family will simply leave and make our way to lands with less intrusive state sovereignties. And as we eventually bid adieu to the Empire State (the motto says it all), I urge my compatriots who are of like mind to do the same, before a fateful question/prediction of mine comes to pass: I wonder if the United States will remain as such?

Prepare people.
Just one note for today. Be vigilant and never take the present for granted. The world is becoming an ever perilous place; more perilous for those who wish to indulge in the frivolous.
We free people tend to see life and events from the framework of our own lifetime. There are others who look to the long term, like the progressives and the communists. They see present events as stepping stones to an ultimate goal. They count on the rest of us to get caught up in the mundane, the comfortable, the myopic. Good food, good times, good company and a good life.
My prediction is this: What is now in the west, especially in America, is finite. It can improve it if we make it so, or if we do nothing and it will go they way of all great civilizations. It will fall. Righteous people must speak up against tyranny and the over reaching control of central government, lest we wake up one morning and find that we are not allowed to speak up.
Just a thought, my people. I will keep thinking (and speaking), no matter what. I hope you do the same.
