Yep. I hope we didn't confuse anyone. By looking at some of the votes on the floor, I think those members are confused when they vote.Aggie_engr wrote:I think we're saying the same thing!K5GU wrote:Exactly what I was trying to say.

Respectfully, I think it is a little early for such talk. Let's let the dance end first, shall we?Turboblaster wrote:I hope that I am not speaking out of turn and I am not trying to inflame matters further. Our numbers may be small, but it was just a few people who organized the "Swift Boat" attacks on John Kerry during his presidential run. It is my personal belief that we should push to lower the NRA rating of every lawmaker who changed his vote on HB 910. I also think that we should arrange Swift boat style oppositions to them in their next election cycle.
SB11 was Birdwell, Huffman, Schwertner, and Hinojosa . Huffman, as we know, is chair of the relevant committee for this legislation and a CHL supporter. Schwertner represents TAMU and is a CHL supporter. Hinojosa has a previous history of support forsecond amendment issues, although not that I recall for campus carry.joe817 wrote:All I caught on HB910 were Estes & Huffines.mr1337 wrote:Senate appointed conference committee members for HB910
They also selected conference committee members for SB11. I only remember Birdwell & Huffman.

However, we only need 3 out of 5 votes for each chamber.
Our aces: Birdwell, Huffman, Schwertner
Did you happen to catch the name of the last committee member?
Also, is SB11 now also in danger of being filibustered by Ellis & West?
