Frosh Changes Hearing Schedule to Weaken Gun Rights Response
Early this morning we discovered that Senator Brian Frosh had rescheduled the gun bill hearings from Tuesday, March 5th to Wednesday, March 6th. This move was almost certainly intended to to thin our ranks at the hearings.
A total of 52 bills will be heard over 3 days in 3 Committees. This tactic is intended to dilute our numbers, which is why a strong "boots on the ground" turnout is so important.
Friday, March 1st @ 12:00 Noon (NOTE: THIS IS AN UPDATED START TIME)
- 4 bills in the House Health & Government Operations Committee
- 8 bills in the House Judiciary Committee (including the Governor's gun ban)
- NOTE: These hearing will be in the Joint Committee Hearing Room in the Legislative Services Building adjacent to Lawyer's Mall
Tuesday, March 5th @ 1:00 PM
RALLY 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM LAWYERS' MALL
- 23 bills in the House Judiciary Committee
Wednesday, March 6th @ 1:00 PM
- 15 bills in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee

 E-mail Blitz - Send 1,000,000 Emails to the Legislature
Governor O'Malley is doing everything he can to offset the tidal wave of pro-gun, pro 2nd Amendment, pro-Freedom emails you have been sending.
We are now at over 950,000 emails. Let's not stop, let's go for 1,000,000!
Contact your fellow gun owners in Maryland and tell them to use our "Email you Legislators" link to voice their opposition to the Governor's gun ban.
Your legislators still need to hear from you and the AGC has provided an effective tool to help Maryland's gun owners.
The "Email your Legislators" feature on the AGC Website's Legislative News page is simple to use and very effective. In no more time than it takes to send a single email, you can send up to 188 individual personal emails, one to each and every member of the Maryland General Assembly.
Your message does not need to be long or in great detail. Short and to the point is fine. Save the long detailed explanations for your "on paper" letters.
Let's continue to Blitz the Legislature. Tell them that we won't stand idle, and we won't be blamed, nor are we responsible for what someone else did.
Remember:
- The system will automatically fill in the Salutation for you by adding either "Dear Senator Name" or "Dear Delegate Name" above your message
- Always keep your communications respectful and courteous!
- Short and to the point emails work best.
