dorvinion Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:40 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:40 PM Time to go buy some magazines
gravyboy77 Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:40 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:40 PM I can't believe they passed this? :Angry!:
Ashdump Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:43 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:43 PM we MUST make sure this thing dies in the house!
gravyboy77 Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:44 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:44 PM we MUST make sure this thing dies in the house! LETS HIT THE PHONES!
MARKHOLSTRUM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:44 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:44 PM We need to make it our mission to get senator Kotowski out of office next time around NO MERCY for this deceptive underhanded TRASH
SmershAgent Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:44 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:44 PM What a thing to come back from lunch and discover. What the heck happened?
Ashdump Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:46 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:46 PM how soon will vote record for this piece of crap show up at ilga?
dorvinion Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:46 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:46 PM Usually the vote results show up in the evening
gravyboy77 Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:50 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:50 PM What a thing to come back to lunch and discover. What the heck happened? Kotowski babling about "they need to do this for the children" bull$hit. I still can't believe this pile o' crap bill passed. We need to watch him very closely. Now that he did this with this bill and it passed, i can see him trying to get away with it again on a grander scale.
Ashdump Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:51 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:51 PM I want this piece of $hit kotowski to personally hand out the pink slips at Springfield armory. If I heard right, on the event of this bills passage, they were out of here, and I don't blame them.
SmershAgent Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:52 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:52 PM I guess we start contacting the House. The greatest focus should be on the yellow and white members.
SmershAgent Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:53 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:53 PM I want this piece of $hit kotowski to personally hand out the pink slips at Springfield armory. If I heard right, on the event of this bills passage, they were out of here, and I don't blame them. We still have one more chance to stop it. It's only "half" passed so far. They still have to get it through the House. I think we should channel our righteous indignitation on lobbying in that chamber, and once the matter is settled, let Kotowski know how we feel.
SmershAgent Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:57 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:57 PM PostCards too??? Anything you can think of to do. I don't know how much time we'll have before the House gets their crack at it. Ideally, we should try and stop this bill at the House Committee stage, but I suspect it will be given to Health and Human Services, which means it would sail through. Phone calls, letters, and if possible - office visits, are the prescriptions for this fever.
SmershAgent Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:58 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:58 PM The votes are posted. I see it got support from Althoff, Garrett, DILLARD, and Millner (evidently he's not as pro-gun as we thought). Frerichs was true to his word, however, and voted no, as did Radogno (she was a key swing vote according to our research). EDIT: I wonder if those supporters may have voted yes, thinking they were making some kind of "compromise" in lieu of voting for the bill's evil big brother, SB0016.
gravyboy77 Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:59 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 05:59 PM This bill was ammended on may 1st and passes 8 days later. How do we stop this? i have a horrible feeling that this stunt is going to happen again.
Ashdump Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:00 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:00 PM I wished someone would have dragged that dirt bag by the nap of his neck into VT right after the massacre, and rubbed his nose in the blood brains and $hit that must have been all over the floors, and then asked him "was this for the children"? "your gun free zones worked miracles here, did'nt they"?. Sorry, but I had to vent, and this guy needs to get his head out of his a$$.
gravyboy77 Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:01 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:01 PM PostCards too??? Anything you can think of to do.

Ideally, we should try and stop this bill at the House Committee stage, but I suspect it will be given to Health and Human Services, which means it would sail through. Phone calls, letters, and if possible - office visits, are the prescriptions for this fever. They are going to push the house to pass this FAST!
dorvinion Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:03 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:03 PM I think it may be possible to stop this in the Senate still Work on Millner and Dillard and get one of them to file a motion to reconsider. That needs to be done before Thursday though Senate Rule 7-15(Senate Rule 7-15)7-15. Reconsideration.(a) A member who voted on the prevailing side of a recordvote on a legislative measure still within the control of theSenate may on the same or following day move to reconsider thevote. The motion to reconsider may be laid on the table withoutaffecting the vote to which it referred. When the motion toreconsider is made during the last three scheduled days ofregular session, or any time thereafter during the regularsession, or at any time during a veto or special session, anymember may move that the vote on reconsideration be takenimmediately. A question that requires the votes of a majorityof those elected or more to carry requires a majority of thoseelected to reconsider
MARKHOLSTRUM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:04 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:04 PM We HAVE to get this stopped in the house, we need to remind the reps that they get a performance review every 2 years and WE ARE going to hold them accountable! ITS OFFENSE TIME! we need to get on the offense and campaign directly against all the Y's on this list and focus directly on Kownazi
SmershAgent Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:06 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:06 PM I think it may be possible to stop this in the Senate still Work on Millner and Dillard and get one of them to file a motion to reconsider. That needs to be done before Thursday though Who do we have here in those districts? I think Dillard is Lou's Senator. Lou, we need you to do every gun owner in the state a favor and call this guy up.
mack69 Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:08 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:08 PM One of the things that really kept making me nuts was he kept saying that limiting a magazine capacity to 10 rounds would greatly reduce the lethality of a gun. That's total BS as you all know....IIRC, that piece of crap that killed and injured all those students and teachers at Virginia Tech used 10 round magazines. Did the limitation to ten rounds make his gun less lethal?? heck no..... 170 rounds is 170 rounds whether out of a ten round mag or a 30 round mag....
Ashdump Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:09 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:09 PM Just called Frerichs, left a message, thanked him for his position and let him know that I was in shock for it's passage.
Lou Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:14 PM Posted May 9, 2007 at 06:14 PM Dillard just about assured me of a NO vote. I just called and spoke with his assistant and she was shocked I knew how he voted so quickly. I let her know of my EXTREME displeasure and followed up with this to his personal e-mail:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Senator Dillard, I am extremely disappointed in your YES vote on SB1007. This bill started as a bill pertaining to the sexual exploitation of children and it got hijacked by Emil Jones and Dan Kotowski and changed into an anti-gun bill which does not protect children but rather demonizes a piece of metal. That you would side with the Chicago Democrats and vote for this bill is something I just cannot understand. Since when is an inanimate object a higher priority than protecting children from sexual predators? Please provide me with your reasoning on this bill. I just don't understand it. What were you thinking? Louis J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~Screwed by a politician again!!! :Angry!: :Angry!: :Angry!:
