Well that seems to me the utmost reason for some retaliation..That's all part of the plan. They don't really want to hear any opposing opinions against their agenda to wrest more power from the people.
Basically you show up early if you want to speak and put your name on the list. They will call you down hours after all the "important" people and those who signed up before you do.New to all of this. How exactly do these hearings work?
These are a lot of bills - do they just announce the name of it and take a show of hands on approve vs oppose? How does someone speak out? Do they really value those with degrees, because if we're going to play that game, it looks like some of these legislatures only graduated high school

Then they take it all as public record and then pass or kill any bill on to the House for their vote, regardless of what has been said.
Generally a waste of time waiting that long into the day if you don't plan to speak unless you're like me and get pleasure from suffering listening to liberals talk for hours.
Might join you on the common after with a Byron for myself. A treat after dealing with antigunnersChecked my schedule and I can make it. Will also find time to knock on my State Senator and State Reps door for all the good that will do. Go to Chacarero for lunch and enjoy a cigar on the common.
Claim to be a democrat or an anti gun group then pull an about face while in front of the micSo how does one become one of these "important" people to speak?

So long as we keep walking I’m sure no one will care enough.Keep an eye out for the anti-smoking nazis.
Lighting up anything on the Common is verboten.
Anyone know how long this will go for? Just trying to figure out if I should take the day off or not. I work 9-5 and trying to figure out if it makes sense to go back to work afterwards.Use your PTO or ask your boss to let you flex time over the week to make up for it.
It depends on how many people show up. It could easily go until 4 if enough people show up angry.Anyone know how long this will go for? Just trying to figure out if I should take the day off or not. I work 9-5 and trying to figure out if it makes sense to go back to work afterwards.
Yeah I remember spending the day there and it was just as maddening then as I know it will be WednesdayFYI, I waited 7+ hours to testify with my daughter in 2014. Seething mad after Coakley got up there and straight up lied about the gun show loophole in MA.
Just ONCE I’d like to see one of these pols called on their lies while being recorded in a public forum.
They’re doing a last minute full court press here. You lose any right to bitch about the new infringements if you don’t participate in the process. Make your voice heard.
BTW, for those who do,Worked for me.I intend to sit dead center of the old hags
No voting on the bills yet. The committee will be making recommendations on the bills, either "ought to pass" or "ought not to pass"They're voting on the bills on the same day?

It's my understanding that us peons only get 3 minutes to speak and it's strictly enforced while the victim disarmament proponents and our supposed betters get basically as long as they want.How long would one of us from the
unwashed masses get to speak if we
made it on the list? I have to start
writing my speech.
Anyone from the Gardner area that could give me a lift?
If anyone needs a ride in from MetroWest, let me know.
