Response from Joseph Boteler:

Thank you for contacting the office of Delegate Joseph Boteler with your email regarding HB 332. I always appreciate it when constituents share their questions, concerns, and opinions with me. I found your email to be very informative and have documented everything that was stated in it. Throughout this 2009 Session, I will keep you updated as much as possible with this and all of the other important issues that come to the House Floor.

Please never hesitate to contact my office regarding any issue in the future and I wish you all the best in the New Year.

Sincerely,

Delegate Joseph Boteler III

Contact Delegate King also. While we're pretty sure he would vote for it, it is especially important that he knows his constituents want him to vote for it.

Done. I also let him know how much I like eating crabs in his restaurant Kaufmann's Tavern.

Done.

Letters printed and mailed. Emails sent out. :thumbsup:

Can't make it to the meetings. Life would be some much simpler if the Job didn't keep getting in the way. :mad54:

It would be great to have 100 letters make it to the committee's desks.

nOOb question

Would it be OK for me to link to this thread in an e-mail to some like minded friends? I don't want to do something un-cool. It's just the tools you have so carefully compiled make being an "activist" soooo very easy. Thanks Andy

No way! Stay there and fight the good fight. No need to change the minds of my reps, we've got to change the minds of your reps. :thumbsup:

Wow, just got a reply. My letter to delegate King titled HB 332:

I understand Tony Mconkey is sponsoring this Civil Immunity Bill and hope you will support as well. I am a resident in district 33A. By the way, I love eating crabs at Kaufmann's.

Delegate Kings reply:

Mr. Xxxx,

I am not familiar with the bill, but will research it this week and am sure I will support it. Thanks for your patronage at Kaufmann's, during these tough economic times, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks for contacting my office and please continue to do so as issues of concern to you arise.

Sincerely,

James J. King
State Delegate
District 33A

Good job folks. This bill can be a win for us this year.

joppaj · Feb 2, 2009

E-mail sent to Delegate James, Del Riley is already listed as a co-sponsor.

Mine went out yesterday and one of my delegates (Schuh) even emailed me back and requested my adress and phone number, I sent it of course. Wonder if I'll get a call or he just wanted to make sure he was my delegate?

It was most likely to make sure you were his delegate. When you're writing your own legislator it is best to include at least your city if not your mailing address because they will take it more seriously. When you are writing other delegates (same county) it is probably wise to mention your county. Otherwise if you tell them you're from Gaithersburg and they represent Salisbury, they will likely ignore you simply because of the volume of constituent correspondence they receive.

I talked to a friend who said this bill will be on the Senate side with a bunch of co-sponsors too pretty soon. It passed the House before so the Senate will be the challenge.

Senator Jacobs is supposed to be submitting a companion bill, as of today it's not there yet.

The issue isn't the Senate as a whole, but rather the Judicial Proceedings Committee. It will take a concerted effort to get it past the Chairman.

NOTE: HB332 = File Code: Civil Actions and Procedures Not Guns !

That's because it's not a gun bill. It falls under family and civil law.

Legislative services are the ones responsible for categorizing the bills, as far as I know.
