Poor C&R Collector
I also was 4th quarter writing. Better late than never and I will be there on Tuesday to visit my elected (not by me) officials. See some of you there!!
and Noon on March 12th if you are attending the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee hearing. (if you are not attending either hearing, the deadline is still March 8 at Midnight for the NRA e-mail address)
How to Testify In Annapolis:
- Pass through security with a photo ID. Treat this as you would airport security.
- Go to hearing room and stake your claim for a seat
- If submitting written testimony, you will need 35 copies for the House and 20 copies for the Senate.
- Written testimony must be submitted by 11:00am
- Dress is business casual or business suits. Let's not play into their stereotypes.
- Sign up sheets are inside the hearing room. Sign up to register your position, even if you don't intend to speak.
- Typically, the representatives of the major gun groups speak first because they have a coordinated plan for testimony.
- When you speak, be concise, polite and stay on a single topic. If the day is getting long (and Feb 6 will be a long day), it's OK to just say, "I support/oppose this bill".
