CALL LT. GOV. DEWHURST!

Just got of the phone with his office and the nice young lady who took my call said they've been getting lots of calls about Amendment #7, and we could be doing a better job of getting through. She asked that anyone who is in favor of Amendment #7 should not only call their senators, but they should also call the Lt. Gov (at 512-463-0001).

Get on the horn, and spread the word as you can.

Please? :tiphat:

There, does the politeness help. :lol:

Thanks, just called the Lt. Gov's office and added my name to the pro-amendment 7 tally.

Ditto.

Also sent him email by filling out the form on his website.

Also called the Lt. Governors office today. I continue to tell them that as an adjunct faculty member of a university this impacts me personally.

I just used http://www.faxzero.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for the first time to send a fax (as well as email) to the Lt Gov's office. It's incredibly simple to use. No account signup, nothing. Just a form right on their homepage you fill in, type in your message, and you've sent a fax!

The current status for SB 5 says "Not again placed on intent calendar 04/29/2011". It looks like she pulled the bill.

Hopefully some thinkin' and talkin' occurred. Kinda looks like it, but I guess we'll see soon what's happening if a deal was cut or what

I suggested that if she became the 21st vote on SB 354, perhaps Amendment 7 to SB 5 might go away.
And I've pointed out that it's less risky and cheaper for schools to pass Amendment7/SB 354 because the IMMUNITY paragraphs make for cheaper insurance rates for schools than risking a HOUSE bill passing which contains NO Immunity clauses.
If she really is interested in saving schools money during budget cuts, she'll help on SB 354/Amendment 7 rather than risk the other bills passing.




(P.S. The anti-gun group has NOT Tweeted this info yet, so get your faxes in before they use up all the fax paper again over the weekend
