I had a streak of unfortunate luck yesterday and didn’t make it to Annapolis. I have written testimony that I would like to present to law makers in Annapolis pertaining to the proposed laws as well as concealed carry. If I can make it tomorrow, will I be able to testify? I don’t get home from work until midnight tonight and will be trekking from Westen MD. Is there a certain time that the testimony has to be submitted? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I’m not always logged in here and can’t always keep up with the threads, so if someone would pm me, that may be better. In there I will share my phone number if needed.
Tomorrow in Annapolis

From what I saw on the MGA site:
Judicial Proceedings - Bill Hearing 12:00 PM - East Miller Senate Building, Room 2, Annapolis, MD
Please note bill hearings will begin at 12:00 pm. Written testimony is due by 11:00 am and witness sign-up closes at 11:15 am.
Get there as early as you can to sign up to speak (if you wish).
On the touchscreens, do NOT touch Submit until after you have paged through all the bills on which you wish to testify (circles with left or right pointing arrows in them).

Where's the beef?
The low-bidder that designed the screen layout should be forced to fix it! The bad thing is there is no way to go back! What the heck?!?
I’m stuck in trial all day tomorrow. But, I would love to see a mic drop with someone closing with “seriously? The founding fathers would be stacking bodies by now.”

The system does suck.
If you accidentally hit the big blue next button rather then the small black next page arrow, you can always hit the Start Over button. It’s a pain in the ass but better than missing the opportunity to speak on a bill that’s important to you.
Thanks Eruby, but the link isn’t working:/
Well that didn't work.
The link brings up a Word document.

So there’s 3 to 5 bills at the senate level correct? If so I’m not sure how long the testimonies will go on for.
I’ll be at work till 5 or so but would love to come by after if it’s still going on.
It would be awesome if we have the same turn out tomorrow.

I'll be up for some more not complying tomorrow. I'm assuming the usual attire is welcomed if not expected.
The link just downloaded the file to my default download directory. It was rather quick. It didn't autostart word or anything fancy like that.
I plan to submit written testimony tomorrow, I see 16 copies are required. I really am not comfortable getting in front of the committee. Who are the copies given to? And, are they given the same credence as a verbal statement. Also, is there someone on here ( testimony vet) that I could send it to for a “peer review”?

I just checked the schedule for tomorrow's senate hearings & it looks like SB008 (ghost guns), has been postponed, & the only bills scheduled we have issues with are 737 & 882. SB0882 looks the same as 008, can someone more knowledgeable than me verify this?

Anyone have a Will Comply shirt? Maybe would go well with a set of blinders, ear muffs and duct tape across the mouth.
I encourage everyone to sign up to testify for each bill, even if you only say, "My name is ChrisD, and I oppose this bill, thank you."
If you saw any of the House footage, you know you won't be standing alone in front of them. You'll be among friends for moral support
