Letter written, calling on way home from work. Jason Lewis is my senator, lifelong D from Winchester and he looks very liberal based on his bio, feel like I'm pissing into the wind.

wrote and called Chandler's office. The spread sheet really helped, as I was able to voice my concerns for what was a reasonable bill out of the house, that got badly messed up in the Senate. Was then able to tick off the supported and opposed amendments, and express my extreme distaste for their attempts at regulating the wrong end of the problem.
The Aide was very polite, but didn't offer much info about what they were hearing at their end.

1. The Senate votes on each amendment, then on the amended bill. If it passes, the bill goes to the House.
2. The House votes on whether to accept the amended S.2265 as-is. If it passes, the bill is sent to Patrick.
3. If the vote fails a joint committee hammers out a compromise, and
4. The House and Senate independently vote on the compromise.
5. If the compromise bill passes both houses, it goes to Patrick.
I just sent my rep an email about how the senate is bastardizing the bill he so proudly voted for in the house and reminding him of his pledge to support lawful gun owners. Suggest y'all do the same.

Just got this reply from Rep Kulik:
Thanks, David. I am absolutely watching the Senate on this. The House has been clear that we will object to any onerous amendments accepted in the Senate. Thanks for watching it, and I will follow GOAL’s info on it.

Emailed them all again today, so did my wife. Thanks for everyone's cliff notes and amendment summaries, this helps focus the correspondence, and I would not otherwise be able to keep up with this crap at the rate it gets piled on.

Tara, GOAL's naysayers here (and elsewhere!) will STILL say you're wrong, don't know what you're talking about, claim you're a fake, etc etc. Especially the ones who had every chance and opportunity to attend rallies, meetings, hearings, and to "contact contact contact" their Reps and Sens. but, instead, "had to work that day" or "my kid had to go to the hospital" or (etc etc etc)...
But ultimately it's easier for them to blame GOAL than admit their own shortcomings. You, Jim, and everyone else there do a FANTASTIC job, especially in the face of the urine being sprayed into the wind in your direction constantly. Keep up the good work, for their are MANY of us who know fully well what you all do on a daily basis.

get down to business.

If you are one of Will Brownsberger's constituents you can communicate directly with him on this topic here:

Be polite. He's a Liberal, but willing to listen when data backs up an argument.

No. We're still several steps away from that nightmare.
Silly question: Did the budget pass and get signed yet? Let's not forget that is where the pepper spray language is waiting to go through.
And we will fight them at every single one.
I thought that I had read that the pepper spray language got stripped from the budget bill.

I personally accounted for 13 calls to his office today. The aides give stony silence when we mention how truly awful the eldridge amendments are.
This fvcker needs to be in the private sector ASAP
15 more days.

Because of Petersons seniority, and yes vote he will most likely be on the conference committee.
This is one of the benefits of voting "Yes" Give him chance to Kill it.

This!!!!!
Good. I called 2x today. Will call again tomorrow. Called him out on twitter too.
Seniority does make a difference in committee appointments, but, those appointments were decided long ago and Peterson
isn't on the Joint Committee that this bill will be referred to....
Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security (take a look at whom the House Chair is)...
https://malegislature.gov/Committees/Joint/J22
It might have to go through the Rules Committee as well, but I'm not 100% certain of that...

My wording was off, I should have said conference committee. It was my understanding that each contested bill gets its own conference committee

If this thing gets enough pushback from US, maybe it'll get stalled in the committees, and won't make it to Patrick's desk by the end of the session two weeks from tomorrow.
wishful thinking?
