When All Else Fails.
No typically when I testify I just give them my voting district. No need to provide address.
Hadn't thought about that. Voting district is a good idea.

Reading over the witness guidelines, it spells out listing the testifiers name. Does that mean listing an address too?
Also, does front cover mean Cover Letter? With testimony being a second sheet of paper? Staples? Paper clips?
Thanks.
OK, to try to tie this back to the topic -
Our state and Federal adversaries have had at least a half century or more to build the machine they use against us (and to maintain and increase their own power). The most effective legal way to do this is to annoy them to death by loudly and repeatedly show up and testify against their corrosive bill proposals.
Remember, all politics is local.
I agree that much of the political status quo begins at the local level and also agree that pushing for federal intervention is not likely going to happen or be very productive. Remember, the states are granted the right of self-governance.
However, I also believe that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting to see different results is a waste of time, effort, and resources.
What should be taking place is a consorted effort to legally remove those who desire to quash our 2A rights in the upcoming election. Advertisements, public service announcements, friendly, fact-based rallies in our communities and colleges. These types of things can create an environment for positive change with regard to 2A.
Acting like bullies, name calling (ie Libtards, etc) flooding the legislature with paperwork, and creating an adversarial Us versus Them environment is only going to defeat our own cause by making us appear to be uninformed, fanatical, gun-toting fools.
Perhaps we should do similarly what was done in the 60s and 70s....fight calmly with our votes and peaceful rallies radio announcements, flyer and brochure distribution, public classes, etc... Granted, not everything changed, but Tricky Dick did leave office, the war did end, and all Americans did become a little more free instead of just a certain demographically privileged.
Just some food for thought...
So were uninformed, fanatical, gun-toting fools, and bullies for standing up to a group that runs rough shod over our constitutional rights at every turn???
Actually, I stated that by maintaining an Us versus Them approach to our dealings with regard to 2A issues could make us appear to be....
More food for thought... Nothing in your post makes it sound like you support the 2A cause.
So sorry you cannot see that just because I do not believe your proposed method to promote change would be very effective; especially since such methods have failed miserably over the course of the past decade or so. If someone does not see the issues and possible resolutions exactly as you do then they are a 2A non supporter? That is a pretty narrow viewpoint. You're already whittling away at your foundations by holding such opinions.
And who, exactly, is the demographically privileged you speak of.
At that time the demographically privileged were male WASPs primarily from the Northeast.
We all want to know.
PS: Now I have to apologize to MDS for doing what I asked others not to do.

But by the mid '80s the voting demographics had reached the tipping point, and have been inexorbably going ever increasingly left wing Democrat ever since.
We are outnumbered by the other side, by huge margin. By all means Go Dino ! , and try to upset in a few districts, and shake up the confidence of the Dems generally. But a wholesale change would require aprox 2 million residents to move out of the state.
DINO was marginally effective in 2014, if only through helping to expose weaknesses. But there are other threads for that, too.
