S.2265 Message Printout / Dropoff - today and tomorrow morning

[Rekonn]

The gun bill, S.2265 is with the Senate now, and they have proposed 63 amendments to it. Looks like there will be debate and a vote on Thursday. GOAL has put out their list of which amendments to support, and which to oppose.
http://goal.org/Documents/S2265Amendents[3].pdf

I'd like as many senators to see this as possible! I work near the statehouse and am volunteering to print out and drop off your message to your Senator's office. Please:


1) PM me the message you'd like your senator to receive.


OR


2) (quick and easy) PM me your name and address. I'll look up your senator using https://malegislature.gov/People/Search, and will fill out the template below. (hat tip to JJ4, mattyw, and GOAL)

Dear Senator XXX:
State House Room XXX
7/16/2014


Regarding S. 2265 An Act Relative to the reduction of gun violence


Please support the following amendments that are crucial to protecting civil rights in the commonwealth:


#6 Removes the FID Suitability clause.
#19 crossbow/bow clarification
#30 protections for licensed collectors to buy relics
#58 makes pepper spray more accessible

Please oppose the following amendments:
Some of the most egregious include #11 & #20 which would criminalize the private sale of firearms, #57 which is, among other things a one gun a month bill and #60 which would ban many common use firearms and magazines.

[Reptile]

PM sent.

Everybody in Mass on NES should be sending you PM's.

I have tomorrow off and I will be calling my Senator.

Can you list the other Senators that have a major say on this bill?

---

Edit: Not that many Senators.

I'll be able to call them all in the morning.

Great job on this. I'd join and PM you a letter but I've already beaten Sen. Barry Finegold and his aides to death with our issues. They know what I look like, live, phone and email numbers and that we all vote.

 

[spcantwell]

Great idea. I already sent the email version and plan on calling tomarrow to talk directly to them.

 

[1952ford]

Thanks PM sent

 

[Romokid]

I have already emailed a similar version to my Senator but reps to you for volunteering to do it for those who can't.

 

[ntomsw]

Nice job for offering this.

 

[Lima85]

[Garden12]

Wow, got home and found 11 more letters waiting to be sent, awesome! For those that have already talked with their senator on the phone, or in person, I agree, this would be a bit redundant. But for the many of us whose emails fell into a black hole, or got an auto-reply or meaningless drivel reply - this is for you. For the lucky few that have a solid pro 2A senator - showing you support their positions is a good thing too.

 

[CWulf]

In and PM sent. Thanks for doing this Rekonn. I plan on calling my senators Ross and Rush tomorrow as well.

 

[smeds]

PM sent, much appreciated. Fight the good fight.

 

[cmcgraw2]

Likewise, thanks for doing the legwork!

 

[38ExtraSpecial]

this thread should have a banner on the top of forum for everyone to see.

Don't forget your reps--the bill has to go back to the House and a lot of them are not happy with all the amendments

I figure I'll start another thread once it gets past this step and back to the House. Senators only for now please.

Side note - got 16 letters to deliver now!

this is fantastic! - I'll be sending a PM in a second - my only ask is for your possible consideration in tweaking a couple words - If a senator is on the fence, I'd like them to better understand why we oppose some of these things that are popular with the moonbats. - I inserted a few words below that I underlined - thanks!

Please oppose the following amendments:
Some of the most egregious include #11 & #20 which would criminalize the private sale of firearms even between properly licensed family members , #57 which is, among other things a one gun a month bill but will have no impact on crime or violence and #60 which would ban many common use firearms and magazines.
