Rob Portman votes against gun control

Republican Senator of Ohio, Rob Portman, said today that he represents a lot of constituents in Ohio who feel very strongly against gun control. I don't think he ever asked me how I feel and I am one of his constituents so I was glad to hear Ohio State Rep. Bob Hagan has announced that he will challenge Portman in 2016.

That's the problem with a republic. Sometimes people don't vote the way you want them to. By all means tell him how you wished he had voted.
