Even a dog picked up by a dog catcher has more rights than those taken away by this bill.
Is there any lawful instance in this country where a person's constitutional rights are taken from them, based on an unnamed person's, un-articulated suspicion, unverified for accuracy of identity, without a process for having them reinstated?
Is there even a lawful instance where even a handful of those factors are present, let alone all of them?
Anybody who votes in favor of this bill needs to be removed from public office. This is not the right country for them to hold positions of public trust.
If this passes, can we hold Frosh's feet to the fire via the MSP to force the FBI to provide access to the list?
After he gets slapped down, we can use it against him during his next political election?
[Yes, Don Quixote would be very proud]
I used to use this link to e-mail all of our representatives however it doesn't seem to be working for me here at work. could someone please check and let me know if it still works or is no longer a good link?
http://actionmail.ksconline.net/
I have given out that link myself but I'm starting to doubt the folks behind it. So far this year when I used that link I have heard nothing in reply from any of the legislators. Now I can't prove a negative, so is it just that no one bothered to answer me, or are the folks behind the Civic Action Email system silently filtering out conservative or pro-2A emails? Dunno, all I can say is: it's odd.
Another choice is the AGC email link here. I've been downplaying that link because: a) John's caveat "read me" up top seems out of date (FSA 2013 era) and worse discouraging, and b) it wouldn't be hard for the GA IT team to filter out email from that site. However if the Civic Action folks aren't going to deliver our emails, the AGC may be the next best choice for convenience.
A harder but more guaranteed approach is to assemble your own email list, but I know some people aren't going to go to the trouble of doing that.
I doubt the MSP would have the requisite clearance level to access the list. If they started after the bill was enacted it still would take over a year for the SSBI. And a new billet would have to be justified and created for the individual named for access - that would take forever too.
IMO, the best the MSP could do would be to send someone's name in to the authorities and get a yes/no answer.
Received the following from Delegate Deborah Rey:
Thank you for contacting me regarding this bill. You should know I am leading the Republican Caucus in the fight against this legislation. I am glad you are involved and I need your help. Please watch this link and send it on to your friends. The link is the Judiciary Committee's hearing on HB 1000. http://mgahouse.maryland.gov/mga/pl...8a42-4438-a7da-93ff74bdaa4c&playfrom=12464000
It is important we get as many people calling into their legislators as possible. The House Republicans are against this bill. I recommend focusing on the Democrats.
I doubt ANY answer would be returned. As restricted as the list is, I highly doubt the FBI would be willing to provide ANY insight as to who is on the list. Even a yes/no answer would indicate the reason an otherwise non-prohibited person is on the list. But we all know that.
I'm just suggesting that when access is denied to the list, we all play the wounded libtard with respect to MSP / Frosh / MGA not being able to "protect us" from those nasty people. Should make for some very interesting Q/A during campaign events.
Besides Busch, is Dumais worth contacting?
I notice that her facebook cover is a panoramic shot of all the people who passed SB281/FSA2013, with Owe-malley and Frosh grinning like Cheshire cats in the center.
This gives me pause that facts might go over her head.
