1:00 pm GOCRA E-BLAST....

[AR]

"Punish Gun Owners Act" hearing moved to 7 p.m. tonight
A hearing on the rights-violating gun control bill, HF237, has been delayed until 7 p.m. tonight.

This gives you the rest of the day to swamp legislators with your calls and emails.

Rep. Michael Paymar, author of HF237, the Punish Gun Owners Act, is also chairman of the House Public Safety Committee, and rescheduled the bill this morning with no notice.

Something sneaky?
Rep. Paymar has also waived the 24-hour amendment rule, so he may try to add something even worse to the bill tonight.

How you can help
1. Come to the hearing tonight
Please meet us, starting at 5:00 p.m., outside the Room 10 at the State Office Building, right next to the Capitol. Here are the directions. Wear a maroon shirt, or better yet, your GOCRA t-shirt.

2. Make your voice heard RIGHT NOW

Call AND email these House Public Safety Committee members TODAY and tell them:

Vote NO on HF237
Demand a vote, and vote YES on HF132
Don't miss this hearing!
GOCRA is keeping score, and a missed vote on HF237 will be counted as a vote FOR it.

Thank Rep. Ward for his past support of your gun rights and encourage him to resist pressure from metro gun banners.

Representative Shannon Savick (DFL)
651-296-8216
E-mail: rep.shannon.savick@house.mn
Rep. Savick is a rural DFLer who needs to be reminded that her constituents will not tolerate new gun control.

Representative Steve Simon (DFL)
651-296-9889
E-mail: rep.steve.simon@house.mn
Rep. Simon is a smart, principled lawyer. Remind him that the Supreme Court has affirmed the right to keep and bear arms as an individual right, and that stripping due process doesn't make us more free or more safe.

Representative Brian Johnson (R)
651-296-4346
E-mail: rep.brian.johnson@house.mn
Rep. Johnson is new at the legislature this year, and will be under a lot of pressure to cave to gun control. Tell him to stand firm for our rights.

Then, call and email your OWN senator and representative and give them the same message.

Good House bill: HF1325 (Hilstrom)
Bad Senate bill: HF237 (Paymar)

Good Senate bill: SF1369 (Ortman)
Bad Senate bill: SF458 (Latz)

I need a little coaching ASAP

I'd like to place some phone calls and I really do not know exactly how to speak to these folks.

Is there a blanket statement I can use towards both sides: A - being Pro Gun and B - Anti Gun

Thanks in advance AND standing by for words of wisdom

You'll probably get a voicemail. It's a simple as, "Hello, my name is so-and-so, and I wanted to let you know in my own voice that I oppose HF 237. Let's keep the focus on criminals. Thanks for your ear. I hope you'll keep my point of view in mind."

Yep, well said - and I'm getting better at not saying 'ummm' as much when I do get a live person.

Much better than:
Yo yo yo, jeeeeahhhhh! Sup sup sup!!!!!!????? Da Billz!!!! Pay mine! Word.
Peace out y'all.

But that would be from someone IN SUPPORT OF this garbage.

All calls went well, only two with live people, both sounded like foreign students... I guess everyone outsources now.
