You may be sure of that, but remember BOTH sides are calling.

Keep up the faxes as well, I believe them to have a cumulative effect.

I make a telephone call or two, but I like faxes. I feel like I can send those frequently without becoming annoying, and it keeps adding to a stack of "to be read" stuff that hopefully keeps growing taller. BTW, I send it in standard business letter format, not a fax coversheet thingy.
Same as above, it is easy for me to do....and it keeps the message in front of them and alive.

Actually, Texans have not been given a chance to vote on this, either directly, or vicariously through their representatives, because various combinations of Joe Strauss and the B&I committee who both seem to represent business interests very well have repeatedly made sure that The People never get a voice in the matter.

And we're not going to (AGAIN). Did no one anticipate that the bill might be put into B&I (thus insuring its death)? And IF so....wouldn't the time for "calling" have been BEFORE that happened (so maybe it wouldn't)?

The business sector...just handed us or butts (out influenced and maneuvered us). This was/is our best chance at it folks, make the calls (I will) but...I am not holding my breath on this one.

Hopefully, Campus Carry will prevail....so we'll have a bone to chew on for the next two years.

Get on the phone folks!
