FINAL Call to Action

[Kory Zipperer]

Senate Bill 1581 has passed out of the House Appropriations Committee with Senator Wentworth's campus carry amendment still attached. And, as of this morning, SB 1581 has been placed on the major state calendar. This Wednesday, May 18th, the House is slotted to vote on this bill. After years of waiting, this is it: the Texas House of Representatives will FINALLY be casting a vote on the issue of campus carry.
However, the campus carry amendment is still at risk of being stripped by the opposition. To make sure this doesn’t happen, it is essential that you do the following (shouldn't take more than 2 minutes total):

1. Call or fax the office of Texas Speaker of the House Joe Straus, and ask him to support Senate Bill 1581 and work to ensure that Senator Wentworth’s campus carry amendment remains intact.

Speaker Joe Straus
Phone: (512) 463-1000
Fax: (512) 463-0675 (use FaxZero.com to send two free faxes per day from your web browser)

2. Contact YOUR Texas State Representative, and ask him or her to support Senate Bill 1581 and work to ensure that Senator Wentworth's campus carry amendment remains intact. You can look up your Texas State Representative here:

Thank you so much for your support! We wouldn't have made it this far without people like you.

yup, I'm but sure exactly what I'm about to post means, except that it's important that we push ...

The following rule applies. "Each original amendment to C.S.S.B. 1581 that will be offered during second reading consideration must be filed with the chief clerk not later than 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17, 2011."

Keep the calls going.

I got the same fax failure message on Sunday in a couple attempts to fax Straus. This morning's went ok.

At last! I'll let John Davis know that I want him to support. I know he already does...He co-author HB 750 and HB 681.


I hope it goes through!
