Action Needed: State Wide Preemption - LB289

(1/26) > >>

RLMoeller:
As we get closer to the 2016 session we need to get a feel for which senators we can count on to support LB289.

Please call AND write your senator and ask them where they stand on LB289.  Report back here what you get as a response.  It may take some gentle prodding to get them to give a position.  We need to know where to spend our energy to educate those that are not fully behind this bill (yet).

Find your senator here:  http://nebraskalegislature.gov/senators/senator_find.php

We have asked our followers on Facebook to do the same and have gotten firm support from:

Senator Garrett
Senator Ebke - (introduced the bill)
Senator Kintner

A few other, but I really want you to reach out and contact your senator.  Ask them to support the bill and ask what their position is.  If they want more information, please report that here as well.  You can point them to Senator Ebke's office for more detail, but I would like to know what seems to have not taken a close look at this bill yet. This is a critically important bill for us and all of us needs to get involved.

Thanks

Mine is Kathy Campbell.  I sent her the following email:

Please let me know what your position is on LB289, the statewide preemption bill.  If you have any questions about it I can get you all the information you want, or you can get get information from Senator Ebke's office.  This is a very important bill that I hope you will support.  But please let me know where you stand on it in either case.  Thank you.
name, address, etc.

I'll let you know what I hear, if she decides to respond.

Sent my letter to Sen. Jim Smith.  Will let you know what he says.  He's pretty quick on replies.

I'll let you know what I get in return.

Here is my message to Senator Hilkemann:


--- Quote ---Dear Senator Hilkemann,

As your constituent in District 4, I'm writing to you ahead of the upcoming 2016 legislative session to ask where you will stand on LB 289 when it comes to the floor. 

This is an important bill that, if enacted into law, will allow Nebraska state law to reign supreme regarding possession and transportation of legally owned firearms.  This will remove the current confusing patchwork of laws, created by individual municipalities enacting laws that supersede those of the State.

As a sportsman and CHP holder that has lived and worked in Nebraska my entire life, I am more confident in the law when traveling from one state to another, with my firearms, than when traveling from one Nebraska community to another.  I know the Nebraska state laws on firearms.  I can't possibly know differing laws in individual communities.  To this point, abiding by state law, could unwittingly make me a criminal in some Nebraska communities.

I support LB 289 and hope that you will too.  If you need more information on the bill please let me know, or contact Senator Ebke's office.

FOR, or against, I would appreciate understanding what your position will be.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
MartyB...

Done. I pretty much stole Marty's text, considering as how it was written so well. I made a few minor alterations, and fired it off to Sen. Matt Hansen of District 26.
