FORMAL TALKS UNDERWAY OVER TIME SENSITIVE BUDGET BILL
All the talking will be done behind closed doors.
The conference committee appointed to negotiate a close-out supplemental budget for fiscal 2017 and iron out differences in language to ban the possession of bump stocks for legal firearms met Monday and wasted no time getting into it. Less than 30 seconds after all six committee members were seated in House Ways and Means Chairman Jeffrey Sanchez's office Monday morning, the conference committee moved swiftly into private executive session without its members offering remarks to the assembled press.

Hell, I'm calling and saying I'm other people at this point.
I had my daughter call in. She said "I just turned 18, and I will vote against whoever votes for this language'.

I just called Sanchez' office and told them if we have to choose one of the two versions of the bill the Senate version is "the lesser of two evils." I told the woman on the phone that there should have been a public hearing on this and no "emergency preamble" (I think that's how they rammed this through) on an amendment to a budget bill.
The whole process stinks.

Called - they are busy, was on hold for a minute or two
I'm going to call in at lunch time again. I already called in earlier today and made it quite clear that while I was out of state resident as soon as I crossed the state lines while what is currently lawful, under the proposed language I would be a felon.

Keep calling tweeting faxing sending etc....They want us to go away...We refuse, respectfully and politely, to go away. Keep it up everyone. Let them know we will work HARD against anyone who votes for this!
Called Sanchez's office again and noted I was already counted on Friday, but it was extremely important and wanted to ensure it was noted.
On the phone for 30 seconds, and I was placed on hold mid call since she received 3 more calls regarding the same. I asked and she noted the calls are overwhelming against. Please keep calling.
Called DeLeo's office and go pushed right to voicemail. Left one anyway.

Called. Woman put me on hold for a minute. Phone was ringing in the background while she took my info. I didn't have to say I opposed it. She said, "and I assume you're calling in opposition to the Linsky language?"
Nice! Keep it up!

I just called again as this is my third stop of the day if they are running caller ID. She's starting to sound a little frazzled. Please be polite!
Got 3 of my neighbors to call. Got a co-worker to call. So I'm personally responsible for 10 of the calls today

Stuck in a conference call where I can't understand the presenter...
Perfect time to blast a few faxes out my office Xerox printer/fax/copy machine. Don't even have to leave my desk!
well, that dispels earlier info about moonbats calling in in favor, good, let's keep it up.

Just called Sanchez' office to "express my opposition to the Linskey language in the budget bill" and the woman answering added my name and town of residence "to the list."
