Tvandermyde Posted March 10, 2011 at 04:06 PM Posted March 10, 2011 at 04:06 PM As plan B to the foid foia issue, we filed an amendment to hb3500. The bill was in the ag committee so we filed an amendment to gut the bill and make it a FOID/FOIA bill The amendment was filed timely and then the bill was reassigned to the jud 1 civil law committee the same one that deadlocked on hb7 No real surprise here but we were trying to "use" the system. Hb3500 now has more than 60 sponsors of the bill. My count says 66. That is big it ils puttong more pressure on the legislature to act on the issue Keep it up and dont forget to push for co-sponsors for For hb148
Davey Posted March 10, 2011 at 04:21 PM Posted March 10, 2011 at 04:21 PM No real surprise hear but we were trying to "use" the system. Use it, exploit, smack it around, whatever it takes.

When a bill has over 60 sponsors, there is NO EXCUSE for the leadership to kill it. I think it's somewhat of an abuse to do amendment trickery with unpopular bills.. but that is clearly not the case with this one.
defaultdotxbe Posted March 10, 2011 at 06:05 PM Posted March 10, 2011 at 06:05 PM SB27 has 25 co-sponsors, which is only 5 short of a senate majority, the support for this is overwhelmingly on our side

race2c Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:00 AM Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:00 AM You are right about that temperature dropping... Deborah Mell (D of 40th) is sponsoring too...she is sponsoring several of the bad bills this legislative session including HB1294 and HB203.
Mr. Fife Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:12 AM Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:12 AM Maybe they don't want others to know that they also carry their own FOID cards?
oneshot Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:13 AM Posted March 11, 2011 at 02:13 AM Naomi Jakobsson sponsored?!?!?!? The temperature in heck is dropping! Holy cow, I'm going to send her a thank you note!
