What should we be saying to our representatives?

anyone got a sketch letter for this? Kathy Campbell needs some work!

Dear Senator,
It has come to my attention that LB 430 was made a priority bill by Senator Fulton. As a law-abiding citizen and concealed handgun permit holder, I strongly urge you to vote in favor of this bill. It will eliminate the patchwork of laws that exist throughout the state, allowing law-abiding citizens to go about their business without fear of prosecution because they happen to be in the wrong town. The bill also helps support our local troops by allowing those who are residents of other states that are stationed in Nebraska exercise their right to defend themselves.

Please vote YES on LB 430. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,

Joe Q. Voter

Is anyone aware of any pending action? On another site another site I read these 2 posts:

Dated Feb 11. 2009 "Be patient my friends.....and stay tuned......Lexington et al. is in for a "surprise" real soon."

Dated Mar 21, 2009 ""Soon" will occur after we know the outcome of LB430. Should the bill pass...then all our worries are gone which thankfully appears to be the case with Sen Fulton's sponsorship. Should it fail to advance into law...then the "plan" begins. Sorry I cannot be more specific at this time.
Stand fast my dispirited brethren....change is coming soon (and it ain't the B.H.O. kinda change)."

thanks for the letter draft... I'll use something similar to that...

Thomas, Welcome to the forums.

As to the pending action you have heard about, well....let's say that there are more Aces to be played in this game,

But, ya gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em...

TIME TO RECONTACT THE NE SENATORS: As noted in a new thread yesterday here on NFOA by CZ as well as the article on page B2 of the Local section in today's Lincoln Journal Star, LB 430 is going to the floor for general debate.

Unfortunately, at least for me, "allowing church security to carry concealed handguns won't be an option".

But, let's take what we can relative to traveling about our state without having to be aware of different city/local laws.

Just e-mailed Sen. Lautenbaugh. He is seemingly pro-2A, right?

Do we know when the bill is going to have its first reading?

According to the NE legislature website, the floor debate will begin on Tuesday, March 31:

http://www.unicam.state.ne.us/FloorDocs/Current/PDF/Agenda/nextagenda.pdf

The entire session that day starts at 10:00am, but there are other "General File" debates scheduled prior to the "Christensen Division" (check out the website).

GENERAL FILE: 2009 SENATOR PRIORITY BILLS ? ?CHRISTENSEN DIVISION?
LB 463 (Dierks) Provide for licensure of animal therapists and consultation between veterinarians and other health care professionals
LB 551 (White) Extend the limiting age on sickness and accident insurance policies
LB 517 (Hansen) Change provisions relating to family reunification and termination of parental rights
LB 430 (Christensen) Amend the Concealed Handgun Permit Act and state the power of cities and villages with respect to firearms

As Sen Lautenburgh's legal aid wrote to FarmerRick in his other thread re clarification of the amendment for LB 430 and the upcoming debate on the floor on March 31: "...and please remind your members to pay attention to the debate and contact their individual senators regarding any concerns they may have."

LET'S STAY ON TOP OF SUPPORT WITH E-MAILS/PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATORS!!!

Also, it appears from the NE Legislature site (link above) that the debate/proceedings can be watched live streaming on your computer (I don't know about television) at:

They have coverage on PBS. Not sure of the channel on Cox cable, somewhere in the teens. 17 or 18 I think?

minnowmaker · « **Reply #91 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:29:34 PM »

Would it be wise to have as large a group as possible sitting (very respectfully) in the balcony to show support for Sen. Fulton and Christensen?

Hhhhmmmmm.....how would they know that the group is supportive unless a message was sent to the two senators to inform them ahead of time? Now, if it was the British parliament, folks could do all of that "hear, hear", "nay, nay", "hhrruummpphh, hhrruummpphh" stuff!

minnowmaker · « **Reply #93 on:** March 27, 2009, 10:03:50 PM »

If you watch on TV, every day the Senators will introduce different groups that are present in the balcony. I think it would show great support to have Sen. Christensen introduce a large group from the NFOA. Just my .02.

Jay · « **Reply #94 on:** March 27, 2009, 10:05:03 PM »

We could all show up wearing Charleton Heston masks

Actually, I didn't know that either, so minnowmaker's idea is better.

I think it would be great to have a large NFOA showing there. I'm in.

Ahhhhh....good point, minnowmaker. I haven't watched before....didn't know that. Not a bad idea!

If we're going to wear Heston masks, can I bring in a set of tablets along with a rod or staff?

Reminiscent of the Marx brothers?: "Thank you." "No, thank you." "Uh, no, thank you."

"Good night, Jay"

"Good night, Aldo"

I am stuck at work all day Tuesday...but I will have my laptop in my office tuned to the livestream so that I can duck in there every now and then and try to catch glimpses of what is going on.

Anyone planning on attending?

Someone one the NECCW site mentioned that the session on Tuesday might not even get to LB 430 since the session typically adjourns at noon. Anyone else familiar with the operations of the legislature? Do they re-open the session in the afternoon?
