[Parttime]

Email from Rick Impallaria:

So this Delegate took the time to check the republican leadership's direction.

Tells alot for the rest who didn't. Trust but verify

It would beg the question, who in leadership boasted this claim? I'd like to know who told the R's to vote for these crappy Bills.

Who sold me out?

And blaming the nra, who testified against both bills, is just another excuse and attempt to throw the blame from themselves

Everyone should send thank you emails to the delegates and senators who voted against these bills and scathing emails need to be sent to the traitors who voted for it

And I would like to again thank senator Steve Waugh for voting correctly and for letting us know zirkin didn’t like the bill

So they were onboard with fake news and one of them created the fake news.

If that’s about my post

My senator said zirkin didn’t like the bill because he’s a due process guy and the traitors came to the senators asking them to do something to try and fix the bill because they, the republicans delegates didn’t think the backlash would be this bad and are using their leadership and the nra as their scapegoat

I want to know who in the republican leadership told them it was ok to shit on us and why but all I get are excuses,we Gaya pass something for the children, or crickets

I'm really not sure anymore lol. So they were initially told by other critters that the NRA is backing the infringements, which I am hoping is the fake news?

No need to answer, I'll keep checking back looking for what it is they have to pass.
Thanks to everyone here for keeping up with this.

What's the latest status on this bill?

 

[iH8DemLibz]

A week has gone by and still no replies to my WTF was your major malfunction while voting for this atrocious bill e-mails.

Never had a gun grabbing season go by where they wouldn't respond.

The Republicans know they royally screwed up and they know, deep in their souls, what the repercussions of government overreach may be.

And they're terrified.

As they should be.
Also reminded constantly that they screwed up and if a better alternative comes along they will be gone, come election day.

I got this message back from Rick's assistant. I sent a request as to whom in the R's leadership would have ok'd this Bill. It would seem that Nic and Kathy MUST have played a major part in this fiasco. Makes since that Kathy had something to do with it, maybe this is why she's fallen off the face of the earth. Has anyone heard from her?

Good Afternoon,

Please see attached. The caucus leaders are Nic Kipke and Kathy Szeliga.

V/R

Tyler C. Walch
LA/Del. Rick Impallaria
District Seven
Baltimore and Harford Counties
Office: 410-841-3289

The attachment they spoke of was from Mautz and his response to the Bill's passing the House.

 

[crxtech]

I emailed Rick Impallaria and asked how the Republican leadership possible believe that the NRA was in support of HB 1302 and Tyler C. Walch LA/Del. Rick Impallaria replied to me this image.

That's old news. We've seen this response some time ago. I want to know directly from my representative and Minority Whip, Kathy Seliga. Why would she tell other R's to vote for such horrendous Bills.

I guess she's going to stay quite, but that won't end too well for her. She needs to come out and explain herself. Take the heat now. She really shouldn't wait. She may find herself running a construction company again and not making any trips to Annapolis next year.

Well the "leaderships" votes are all over the place:

Member HB888 HB1302
Kipke y n
Aumann y y
Shoemaker n n
Szeliga y y
Parrott n n
Buckel y n
Arentz y y
Beitzel y n
Otto y n
Reilly y n
Rey y y
Saab y y
Jacobs y y

Kipke and Szeliga even share a flippin' office. Arentz and Jacobs were emailed by me at least 5 separate times about these bills. Sad.

It’s the republican and Democrats in the MGA against md gun owners.

And by phone or email the mga is not speaking to at least this md gun owner.

I am 2 hrs from Annapolis and when the get off at 5 I have to drive another hour away from Annapolis to take care of things for my father who’s 100% combat disabled and has had his prostate and some intestines removed along with a giant chunk of cancer off his liver a few months ago. I will get home after 9. So coming to Annapolis isn’t an option.

So what can folks like me do? Folks like me feel like the government absolutely doesn’t give two shits about us.

And I won’t be voting for any traitors who vote yes on this legislation or any other anti gun legislation

So what can I do?

This is a serious question

Scathing (but polite) letters, emails and phone calls to your senator and delegates actually do have an effect. Especially if you can convince others to do the same. Stress that you are a constituent; that you vote, and that you have a long memory and are influential in your circle of friends. Those key words will get their attention if they hear them enough.

 

[BeoBill]

E-mail PSA: E-mails to Senators are being kicked back as undeliverable.

In-box is full. Please try again at a later date. Or contact the Senator directly.

Does this mean we're blowing up the system?


PS: I'm sick and f**king tired of doing this bullshyt every year. I think that's one of their goals too. Have us just give up. Capitulate!

EXACTLY RIGHT!

They don't realize they sound just like the "brat in the back seat" that keeps asking "Are we there yet?" every five minutes.

 

[BeoBill]

I have seen several texts that folks have shared with me, she is very defensive about being called out about this and especially being called anti-2A for her votes.

GOOD! Remind her that her actions have consequences. And that nobody that I know of (except a spouse) promised to support her permanently, regardless of any "indiscretions."

I have done all that and more. I called my delegate before these two votes and he swore he would vote no, he lied, and when I called back, repeatedly, his phone lady said either he or she didn't want to talk to me about it. he finally sent the dumbest email excuse I have ever seen or read so I let him have it with both barrels. hes dead to me now.

my senator voted correctly and I spoke with him, before and after and had some nice email exchanges with him.

now deb rey, she voted against us both times, she left me a snarky email saying call me if you want an answer and left her cell number. I have repeatedly, no answer and no response either way phone or email. she not responding to anyone.

my senator told me they, mine and the others republican delegates , are asking the senate to help them fix this mess because they didn't expect this type backlash. apparently we should just take it and ask for more and vote for them and send them money no matter how they vote.

anyway I have done all those things and many more but now I realize it doesn't matter to the majority of them. we are just a money source and vote when they want them and stepping stones to their future political aspirations.

I heard we were gonna get an excuse from the republican caucus but that got delayed due to the school shooting but I am sure its delayed until they need votes or money before they put out their excuse. I am sure they are also hoping the senate can drag this out until sine die but they have shown their true colors so it doesn't matter now.

 

[Abacab]

I have Aumann and West as delegates. Neither responded to me. I told them I am a constituent and vote every election.

Who sold me out?

That, sir, is an EXCELLENT question!
