Anyone going in to talk to Walter Timilty or Senator Joyce?
I'm almost there. The MBTA hates me.
Just saw an NES car drive by.
NES meeting spot?
Met with my rep, Kevin Kuros, on the steps

A decent turn out considering that a lot of people can't get out of work mid week. Now it's time to get your pro 2A friends to call and email their reps and senators. Keep the pressure on them, that's the only thing they respond to. Don't let 1998 happen again.

Done Deal!
Heading back to work. I left my card with my reps. I've been playing phone tag with one of them, so hopefully I can have a conversation with him soon.

I just got back from the rally. It was a pretty good turn out. There were a lot of speakers but none spoke for more than a couple of minutes. It was short because the focus was to go into the state house and talk to reps and senators to ask that the bill be amended or killed... the speakers outside were preaching to the choir, we have to work on the reps now, not listen to Jim Wallace.
It was also pretty hot out on those steps.

Didn't know the rally was so short. I got there a few minutes after noon and nothing but tumble weeds going by. I thought I had my dates confused.

Thanks to those who were there.
doesn't hurt to have people outside with signs. Some people are still clueless to what is going on. Large groups gather attention and getting the attention of the people who don't know whats going on is a good thing
Good rally. Unfortunately John Rosenthal will probably get new mileage out of this. He was there doing interviews.
+1
Spoke to my reps assistant. the rep was busy (probably getting talking points from Deleo). Make sure that you get them to talk. If we speak at them they will tune you out. Engage them. Ask them questions and educate them when they're wrong.

Walked over from Cambridge and arrived just as everyone from the rally was going inside. Met my Legislator's Assistant about 11:30 AM. Talked with him about 5 minutes and gave him the GOAL STOP H.4121 flyer with my personal notes written on it and my name, address and phone. The Assistant said that the Legislator will be calling me.
I feel good.
I feel good.
And Rep Cole was pretty hot too...![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
Yup
, she had a good short speech too, attacking the suitability / may issue point. A young, small, single woman working a late shift as a nurse, with firearms experience since she was 12 - and she got a restricted license! If anyone should be allowed to CC, it should be her. Her being denied CC shows how wrong and arbitrary 'may issue' is.Similar threads
