The NRA form is a pre written form that adds your name to a form letter, our relies on people wringing their own thoughts and feelings to the legislators.

I also use your form as well. I send them both.
Thank you for your time and work with this and everything else you do for the 2A.   

Too easy. Called down the list. They encourage people to call
Joy A. San Buenaventura 's office did ask if I was from her district of Puna...not sure if that made a difference in anything

Forgot to call Cullens office so I just did.  The guy said due to the amount of oppose, he doesn't think it will move any further.  But this is some low level dude, so I'm not holding my breath or letting up.

I sent another email via hifico but it is SO hard to not just tell them they have the intelligence of beached jellyfish. 

Just for fun, here are some of the proponents of an "assault rifle" ban in another state responding to the question "What is an "assault rifle"?" 

Note the immediate reaction of the rational and evidence-based response. I'm sure the people of Hawaii are equally knowledgeable and capable of having a similarly fact-based discussion, if Rhoads and Lee are any example. This is what we are up against. Attempting to talk to these people is useless. I'm just sayin'...

Why do you insult beached jellyfish?

While contacting your area Rep won't hurt, its best to focus more on contacting the committee chairs that these three bills are assigned to as of only a few days ago. No need to wait for actual testimony as we're all trying to prevent a hearing right now and hoping these three bills stop dead in their tracks.

@PalisadesKid,

I've been banging the drum hard at work and with the boys for exactly that.  Just wanted to put out that there are some positive news that at least one Rep. is listening.  Keep fighting the good fight.  Funny thing about activism.  Win or lose on this one I'm in the habit of taking an interest in gun laws going forward and I assure you I love owning firearms a lot more than the people who want to ban them hate them.

Done, thank you for the letter writing setup, no reason for anyone not to fill it out with a reasonable worded statement.

Hawaii Firearms Coalition Hawaii firearms coalition has set up a web form that allows you to e-mail the comity's for HB1303 and HB1531

You can visit www.hifico.org/stop and fill it out.

This message will go direct to the legislators. You are responsible for your own content.

Let them know you oppose the bills. Be polite, per personable, let them know they can contact you, tell them how this law will effect you.

Thanks
Andrew Namiki Roberts
Director Hawaii Firearms Coalition

Maybe send this meme to all the legislators? Maybe not... but I'm just sayin'... ah, what the hell, I'm already on all the lists...

I used both the HIFICO and NRA-ILA sites.  Been using the HIFICO since it went up, and figured I'd max out since I'm at the computer.  Keep spreading the word, text or call all your friends that own firearms and tell them to email, call, or write.  It'll be especially important during that testimony window.  Don't forget I already marked my calendar.  Keep up the pressure! 

I’m going to call each of the reps and senators with the goal of trying to fill their voicemail up so they can’t get any new messages.  I’d suggest in leaving a voicemail for each bill seperately so the staff have to go through each one.

Good tactic.  They'll go to the office on monday and be greeted with "You have 300 new voice messages"
