If I remember is it better to submit through the State website or does it matter any?

I did the hifico page for the senate, I am doing the state website for the house
and make sure I check the box that says I will be there in person
that box is not available on the hifico page, but I don't think they can deny any citizen that want to speak

I submitted testimony for the SBs via the State website and for the HBs via the HIFICO website, mostly due to having more time to submit for the SBs.

Did my part. 

Hope no one has to read it because I no ejucashun after high school.

Just finished testimony for both Senate and House bills. That was a lot of typing. Gotta go to bed but it wont be easy now that I am all worked up.

I submitted via capitol website for both SB and HB, the wife used hifico website.  No excuse not to submit.  Everything is online.  Unless you're an old futt, then can fax them in.

Put in my leave request for tomorrow afternoon. 

I did the hifico page for the senate, I am doing the state website for the house
and make sure I check the box that says I will be there in person
that box is not available on the hifico page, but I don't think they can deny any citizen that want to speak

Will it be a problem if I sent them through both HiFiCo and the State website?

Got all my testimony in. Thanks to everyone who can make it in person. Give them the business.

Will it be a problem if I sent them through both HiFiCo and the State website?

Thats what I'm doing

F 'em

Done, plus an extra email to my Legislature critter Nakashima a co-"sponsor" on HB 2710.

 

Leave approved!  Should be there tomorrow.  That is barring getting called in for a meeting last minute like what happened the day of the rally. 

Tips if you're coming down to testify at the capitol tomorrow.  Let me know if you're going, I'm counting how many we'll have.

Aloha HIFICO Minutemen.

You signed up for the pledge to testify, and the call is here.  We really need your help to stop the anti-gun bills tomorrow and attending the hearings in person is extremely important.  My goal is to get 30 people to show up, right now I have about 15 commitments.  We have the potential to defeat the gun control bills in the Senate Public Safety committee (see attached report card) which could stop all those bills dead. 

Please contact me if you can attend the hearings.  Either way submit your written testimonies at the links below.  There are a lot of bills, but just testify (written or in person) on the ones you want to.  HIFICO's priority is:
1.  Ban all magazines over 10 rounds (rifles & PCCs) SB2519 and HB1902
2.  Ban on lending of firearms HB1600
3.  Firearms Registration check on ammo purchases SB2943 and HB2736

For oral testimony in person, we want everyone to cover different topics and not just everyone saying 2nd Amendment right.  Topic examples for the magazine ban:
1. How many $$$ worth of mags you have and how much will you lose
2. Do you have vintage collectable rifle magazines
3. Type of training you do with the magazines - USPSA, tactical, etc.
4. historical and legal facts
5. Defensive use scenarios
6. Shooting combat style, use the 30 round AR mags as a bipod
7. Military shooters want to train on the equipment they use.
8.  You have a disability where it's difficult to reload.
9.  You go pig hunting with your M1 Carbine with 15 round magazines.
10.  Special skills or knowledge (gunsmith, instructor, law enforcement, etc)
11.  You're in the military reserves and keep your equipment at home.
12.  Difficult to train for competitions with a 10 round magazine
etc.......
