Representative David Trahan

Dear Mr. Tarbet,

I have worked hard on this issue and will continue to fight for repeal and
common sense solutions.  Here are some quotes you might find interesting.
"There is no conflict between liberty and safety.  We will have both or
neither."  Ramsey Clark.  "The natural progress of things is for liberty to
yield and government to gain ground."  Thomas Jefferson.

     As a state and nation, I feel we must return to our roots of
individual freedom and liberty or very soon we will not recognize
ourselves.

Recently, I read a letter to the editor whose author asked why it was any
different for members of other professions like banking who
are required to be fingerprinted and have a background check.  To that, I
must answer it is not, other than they were willing to accept their
shackles.  I thought you might appreciate that perspective.

Sincerely,
David Trahan
