OFF ALERT 1/10/07 Session Begins. Gun Bills Introduced.
|
The 2007 Oregon Legislative Session has begun.
Yesterday, January 9th, the first gun bills were introduced.
For some indication of what to expect, the Democrats in the
Senate have already passed a Resolution calling for annual sessions.
(Twice the opportunity to erode your rights.) They did this
without a single word of public testimony. No public hearing
was held on the issue at any time.
So far gun bills are the introduced versions of drafts we have
had posted on our website for some time.
To keep track of, and see the bills, (and all future bills)
please use this link
There will be plenty more as the session continues.
There are some important developments of which you should be
aware, that will make you a more informed and effective citizen
lobbyist.
Please make use of the following links:
This is the Home page
of the Oregon Legislature.
If you spend some time you will find it to be very useful. This
page has contact information for all legislators and a link
to find your representatives.
On the right side of this page you will find a link entitled
"Esubscribe." You can use this link to get regular
e-mail updates of committee schedules. You can sign up for whatever
committees you want. We suggest you sign up for the schedules
of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. These schedules
will let you know when gun bills are being heard. If you choose,
you can come to the capitol and offer your testimony.
For those who cannot come to the Capitol, the Legislature now
offers a way to watch any hearing or floor session, live on
your computer.
For that, please use this
link: It will take you to a page where you can pick whatever
hearing room or chamber you want to monitor.
You can learn the times and locations of any hearing, by using
this link.
2007 promises to be a pivotal year in the battle for gun rights,
but you will have more tools than ever before to be effective
in this fight.
Please keep an eye on our legislation tracking page and please
be sure to make your voice heard. |
