Your Representatives and Where They Stand
To make sure our votes are effective, we must know where our elected representatives stand on our Second Amendment rights. Hopefully this page will make it easier for gun owners to contact their elected representatives. Why contact them? Please Click Here for a full explanation on why we must keep them informed of our positions.
All representatives and senators from Berks, Bucks, Lehigh and Northampton counties have been asked to provide a letter on his/her stance on the Second Amendment. The text of the letters to the representatives and senators is almost the same, other than edits to indicate the two different positions of the office holders. You can read the letter HERE.
Some members of the Pennsylvania Senate and House serve in districts which overlap more than one county.

If you are not sure which members represent you, there is a search function
at the Pennsylvania Legislature's site. You can perform the search by entering
your zip code. Click on the link at the end of this paragraph and the search feature is in
the upper right hand corner of the Alphabetical Listing of Representatives. The return will bring you to a page that shows
the Pennsylvania representatives and senators for that zip code. Since
more than one representative or senator may cover the large zip code areas,
you may have to search the county feature. The county search feature
will give you returns by each township. Once you get a return, the name of
each representative and senator is a link to
their contact information. Click the name to get the contact
information.

If you already know who your representative and
senator are, click on the contact links provided below. Please write to them
often and remind them of what you expect. Make sure you mention that upholding
your Right to Keep and Bear Arms, as provided by the two constitutions, will
insure their victories in future elections. If you have any problems, email the coalition webmaster for help. CLICK HERE These are the responses, or lack thereof, of your elected representatives. Due to initial replies by some representatives, the LVFC decided it was in your best interest to send a second letter, known as a Letter of Clarification (LoC). The purpose of this letter was to let the representative be more specific on his views. Below you will see some LoC's. When viewing an LoC in email format, the representative's response is in bold lettering. |

Like Pennsylvania, many U.S. representatives have districts
that cover parts of several counties. Each member's web site defines
that
district. |
