Pau submitting testimony!!   :shaka:

I also sent an email directly to Rep Saiki's email:

Dear Representative Scott Saiki,

I strongly oppose the above-referenced measure that you introduced.

I kindly ask that you provide an explanation as to why you introduced this measure.

I also kindly ask that you provide an explanation as to the intent behind this proposed legislation.

Please provide responses to the questions, above, as I wish to inform my family, my friends, and the community of your position on this issue, and your rationale for proposing this legislation.

Best Regards,

I sent him a similar email, requesting an explanation on why he introduced the proposed legislation and that I am a constituent (I live in his district).  He emailed me back pretty quickly regarding SB 219, but he's taking quite a bit longer with the email I sent him on HB 426.

Rep Ito came out to the HRA Annual Meeting yesterday and spoke about his support for our Second Amendment rights and the state of the things in the House of Reps. 

No email back from Rep Saiki.  He responded pretty quickly to my email regarding SB 219.  I assume he's getting a LOT more emails regarding HB 426.  Hopefully he's getting FLOODED with emails opposing this bill.

Hells yes.  I spoke with Harvey about this yesterday and I told him I'd get a bunch of friends to submit testimony and talk to my neighbors about it. 

I even sent him a follow up email asking why the bill was referred (more like fast tracked) to only the Judiciary Committee, of which Karl Rhoads is the chair.  It was my understanding that firearms related bills are also referred to the Public Safety Committee, where there are more pro-gun members, but this bill was curiously only referred to the Judiciary Committee.  We need to let the legislators know that we are paying attention and that we will fight for our rights.

i heard there was standing room only because the room was packed.

Waiting for Hicarry or chris to give an update

If it really was standing room only, we need to do this for every bill they bring up

*Victory* House Bill 426 has been defeated in the committee. We had hundreds of testimony sent in, and many many people in attendance. What a great showing! I can say nothing more than thank you - thank you for your help and support.
