Are your gun rights worth an hour of your time and less than $4 in postage?
Well, are they?
We have 9 possible yes votes and we only need 3 of them. We can easily get the 3 votes we need if they get enough letters from voters.
When you write a letter to a Delegate they will file it with other letters on the same subject. If everyone getting this email just wrote a one-page letter to each of the Delegates listed below then every one of them would have to buy a new file cabinet.
Emails take up no space. Yes, if they get a lot of emails they will notice. However, they will just file them in an email box where they won't be seen.
Phone calls take up their time, and they will usually mark down the numbers of calls they get for and against the various bills. Phone calls are very important.
Letters are the most effective. They take up space - especially when received by the hundreds.
We don't know what the November elections will hold. If Ehrlich doesn't get reelected it is likely that we won't see any possibility of passing a good gun bill in many years. This may be your last chance. Are you going to waste it?
The hearings are on Wednesday. They may vote on these bills at any time after Wednesday -- days or weeks. The 9 Delegates below need to hear from you ASAP -- until the vote takes place. You can write and then follow up with a phone call, or call and then follow up with a letter. Ask the Delegate to let you know how s/he intends to vote. Don't let them tell you that because you are not in their District that your views are not important -- if they don't vote for it then your representative won't have the chance to vote on it as his constituents want.
Please write, call and/or email the Judiciary Committee members listed below and ask them to support these bills. Do it now - don't put it off for a better time.
Suggested form of letter. Please change to suit and/or add a personal message. Be polite and respectful.

HB-12 (Repeal Ballistic Fingerprinting),

Please respond and let me know that you will support these common sense bills.
Sincerely,
