Greetings! ,
Exactly one week ago, I wrote; "We are down to the wire, and a vote on the Governor's gun ban is expected in the House Judiciary Committee before the end of this week."
The fact that the same statement can be made a week later, is a tribute to your efforts in opposition to the Governor's gun bill. Your voices have greatly slowed the progress of a bill that would otherwise have been passed and signed into law. Never before have we accomplished so much; especially in the face of pressure from the Governor, and an out-of-state gun banning carpetbagger with billions to spend.
Your support is still urgently needed. Please call your Senator and Delegate(s) and tell them to oppose the Governor's gun ban (SB 281 and HB 294) in any form. Make it clear that we will not compromise our rights. No exceptions and no amendments, we insist on an unfavorable report on both bills. If at all possible, please visit your elected legislators and Committee members in Annapolis.
Remember, the 2013 Session ends at midnight on Monday, April 8, 2013.
In addition to calls to the Committee members and your own legislators, please make a point of calling the Chairman and Vice Chair of the House Judiciary Committee:
House Speaker Michael Busch: 301-858-3800 or 410-841-3800
House Judiciary Vice Chair Kathleen Dumais: 301-858-3052 or 410-841-3052
If you could not join us for the rallies, or committee hearings, you can still participate in the campaign to defend our freedom by calling the Committee members (click here), and by sending emails.
We are less than 161,000 emails away from breaking the one and a half million mark!
NOTE: New list members can view previous emails in our email Archive. Click here.
Thank you all for your continuing outstanding support!
John H. Josselyn
Legislative Vice President
