"Americans for Responsible Solutions" (Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly) have sent out an email alert, that includes a link to an automated email to Hawaii reps urging them to vote FOR (in their words):
HB 1813 - Preventing known or suspected terrorists from purchasing guns.
HB 625 - Prohibiting those convicted of misdemeanor stalking and sexual assault crimes from purchasing firearms.
Meanwhile my email inbox has the following emails regarding these bills from NRA, GOA, SAF: zero, zip, zilch, nada. Just sayin'...
Yes, HRA did send out an alert about the bills yesterday afternoon, but how many people does that reach, and how many people will act on it (without an automated response option), compared to ARS email list of millions of "gun control" supporters (to whom they fail to mention the "downsides" of the bills, aka "lie")?
I understand the suggestion to "be most effective" to write and call your own specific representative. I wrote a specific email to my rep, but also sent a generic "vote NO" email to all the reps (yeah, even those on the "good rep" list. Here is the list in case anyone else wants to use it (this list may not be totally accurate, it is from December 15, 2015. I will try to double check it shortlycurrent as of 03/08/16):
