Dear Mr. ______,

I support HB 470 and will vote accordingly when it comes before me on the Floor of the House.

Sophocleus usually steps up, but I wish he would sign on as a sponsor.

 

[Boondock Saint]

Roughly 30% of MD Delegates are sponsoring this bill. Think the committee will vote on it?

#2......

Thank you for contacting my office regarding the "shall-issue" legislation. Should the legislation be reported out of the Judiciary Committee, I will support it on the House Floor.

Best regards,

Pamela G. Beidle
Delegate, District 32

Environmental Matters Committee
Subcommittees:
Environment
Housing and Real Property
Local Government and Bi-County

Why not sponsor it if you're going to support it?

 

[Norton]

Why not sponsor it if you're going to support it?

My opinion, FWIW:

Flying beneath the radar. If it never comes up for a vote, he never has to go on record of supporting it and he doesn't take the heat. If it comes up for a vote, it goes through quickly and then it's too late for anyone to do anything about it.

Makes perfect sense from a politician's point of view, but it's a lame ass stance to take IMO. Going on the record to support something like this isn't (I mean, shouldn't be) controversial.

If ¿ the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee gives a or to SENATE BILL 485

How can, Senator Frosh, and/or Senator Gladden, not do the same for [URL="http://mlis.state.md.us/2009rs/subjects/guns.htm[/URL"]ALL [/URL]gun bills?

Just my 2¢

If that was the case we (Maryland) wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

[Boondock Saint]

Bump.

Anyone get any more feedback from letters written today?

 

[CanDoEZ]

My fully automatic, electron operated, belt fed email launcher has been going all week. Had to call in a stamp re-supply mission as well (my mail lady is now picking up more than she leaved in my mailbox). I made a spreadsheet to track my send-to's, subject bill# and whether they were (1) read (2) deleted w/ being read (3) mail box full (4) replied to. Once I get some more data I'll publish this weekend.
