Summary...the Good Stuff
So, after this entire S.1805, what do we have?
#1 Good thing: recorded votes on very important gun issues.
I was once told by a lobbyist, here in Utah, that legislators HATE recorded votes on controversial issues. Why? Because they want to have their cake and eat it too. "I support the Second Amendment"...as all the while they do nothing or actually work against our rights behind the scenes. A recorded vote, however, proves and shows their positions, one way or another. These recorded votes then allow us citizens to target certain people for early political retirement and appropriately praise the people who support us.
#2 We learned how to execute a call in/mail in campaign.
I think we did all right on this. However, as an example, I didn't find the 1-800 number until half way through this little adventure. Also, throught this, I figured out when it worked and when it didn't--mainly after hours.
I could add a #3 and #4 etc....
But how about everyone else? What did we all learn here? Let's post some stuff because we are going to have to do all this all over again (you all know it), and it could be fairly soon.
