HOLD EVERYTHING!!
If you’ve ever doubted that your hard work mattered, the events of today should set your mind at ease.
SB 1064, a bad and unnecessary bill was in the express lane to passage. The Senate rammed it through with no debate and no public notice on an almost party line vote last night. But now it looks like your tireless efforts are paying off.
We are NOT out of the woods yet, but tomorrow the House Rules Committee will be hearing amendments to this awful bill that could change everything and actually make the bill deserve gun owner’s support.
Tomorrow the House Rules Committee will be considering the “Dash-1” amendments and if they are adopted, all of the offensive language of the bill will be gone.
We still have a way to go, but we have been clearly informed that the volume of mail you have generated is turning the tide. So never give up, never.
If you read this alert before 2:10 PM on Wednesday Feb. 24th, please send a simple message to the members of the House Rules Committee. “The Oregon Firearms Federation and I support the Dash-1″ amendments to SB 1064.”
We are not quite at the finish line, but things changed considerably today.
