I believe some of us have reading comprehension issues. I am NOT advocating to raise hell during the hearings and in fact was one who was saying leave the camo at home if you go. Dress appropriately. Speak appropriately.
IT IS IF AND WHEN THESE BILLS GO TO THE FLOOR FOR A FULL VOTE THAT WE NEED TO PACK THE CAPITOL AND MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD, especially when the SENATE hears the bill.
These bills cannot pass into law if the Senate does not vote them up. The house is "packed" with metro DFL "community activist" votes, so they stand a good chance of passing there. The Senate is much more balanced between rural and urban. And if you don't think this issue is a metro vs rural thing, start looking at who is from where in the house and senate.
