That is one heck of a good idea. Is there a list of phone numbers we could post on this thread so it makes it easy for folks reading this thread to make those calls?

The most effective thing is for us all to contact our own Senators now and LG Patrick's office. If you are not sure, there is a link

When the individual committees are meeting on a bill, it is good to call all the members of that committee. You can go here for those

I'm following a number of issues from the gender change bills to transportation to pro-life. We are doing better getting a lot of them out of committee. I've always believed that members of both the Texas House and Texas Senate cannot afford "No" recorded votes for critical pieces so getting them on to the floors of both chambers helps a lot.

So....it is my opinion that a couple of thousand people could break the switchboard at the Capitol, talking to or leaving messages for the Senators to "convince" them to pass Constitutional Carry. I remember a few years back when Charles had us call the officials in New Mexico who were threatening to withdraw reciprocity for then CHL. He said that he wanted them to hear ringing phones in their sleep. We did and the NM leadership capitulated. But it seems hard to get a few hundred calls made in support of the Texas bills that we all want. Perhaps we do need fighters but they seem in short supply.

Full disclosure. I belong to a group that has been sending out emails with the bill numbers and representatives' phone numbers. I've been making those calls. I'm not sure it isn't like dipping the Pacific Ocean with a teaspoon but I'm not giving up.
