BillCarry Posted March 11, 2019 at 08:18 PM Share Posted March 11, 2019 at 08:18 PM Junglebob said, in part, Maybe the list of Senators to call should have their district and party behind their name. I'm calling upstate democrats first. I agree. Furthermore, where they stand on an issue would make it easier to know whether to thank or admonish them when you call. On a different subject, is there a way to be notified when there is a "Call to Action, Phone Calls and Witness Slips Needed", i.e. text, email, etc? I don't spend a ton of time on the message board. Luckily, I caught this one and set in all of the witness slips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt guy Posted March 11, 2019 at 11:25 PM Share Posted March 11, 2019 at 11:25 PM Seems there is some push for County /Municipal on the gun grabbers side. They must want everyone to abide by Unconstitutional laws just because they feel good about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoRonin70 Posted March 12, 2019 at 05:02 AM Share Posted March 12, 2019 at 05:02 AM I filed for all of them. It's looking like it ranges from the 804 to over 1,262 opponents for every one of those bills, and between 1 (HB3510) and 242 proponents (HB2254), with only two of the bills having more than 10 proponents (HB 3553 has 237 proponents to 1,084 opponents). Those 200+ proponent bills are, in my recollection, an extreme anomaly, because usually all of the anti-firearm bills get only a couple of handfuls of proponent witness slips, whereas the opponent witness slips always number in the hundreds if not well above a thousand. That being said, with literally often as much as a thousand times more opponents to these egregious Constitutional violations of legislative garbage, how much weight does filing witness slips actually have? Especially in a political environment where there are anti-firearm super-majorities in both the state Senate and House, as well as a Democratic governor? Are witness slips actually counted for anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, do opponent witness slips in the hundreds and hundreds, and the overwhelming majority of times out pacing proponent slips by orders of magnitude, have ANY influence on this kind of legislation? I fear that they do not, and if that's the case, then I think something should be done about this, legally if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukemason Posted March 12, 2019 at 04:36 PM Share Posted March 12, 2019 at 04:36 PM I called the first three on the list. Left voicemails for Mulroe, and Crowe. I got through to Gillespie's office. Spoke with a nice lady and explained my opposition to the AWB. Everyone else here please start calling if you haven't already. To those here that have never called to express opposition to a bill, in my experience the assistants answering have been more than happy to listen. I was half expecting to be arguing with anti-gun zealots, but that hasn't been the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did get to talk to a couple 'live' people and all 4 were very courteous and wanted to know more. Took awhile going through the list but well worth it.

Typically, the people that answer the phones are just there to feel out the constituents, not to push an agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
