Update 8-27-08 right now Kim Stolfer is extremely busy working on the FOAC Pro-Gun voter guides hopefully ready to be given out at Washington fair grounds gun show (Aug 30-31) and posted on FOAC web site. http://www.foac-pac.org/
Kim, I am pretty sure is planning on being at the Washington show on Sat, so any of you can talk directly with him about this or any gun related problem / solutions.

I am working on the preliminary rough draft email blast alert gun owners which will go over to Kim Stolfer for lots of polishing, corrections and his blessing before it’s sent out to 70,000 plus email address all over PA urging gun owners to call, email or write letters to ALL 50 senators to support passage.



Here is the catch for all of us, IF WE fail to get HB 1845 passed in the VERY limited window this Sept / Oct, all bills not passed by both chambers die at end of session, so WE are back to sqaure one then.

WE then have to go through the entire Legislative process all over again in 2009, so expect another two years to elapse before WE get another chance like this.

Provided we don’t lose lots of Pro-Gun legislator votes like last election with the single largest turn over of (55 plus) Reps that anyone could remember in recent history would make this not a practical goal, WE would be way too busy playing defense then to go offensive for this passage.

There is only limited number of scheduled days for the end of session with lots of other competing bills trying to get up for a vote as well as our HB 1845

HOUSE: has only 16 days left in session

Senate: has ONLY 9 days left in session

Now either house could extend their session, which saved us last session to get several stalled Pro-Gun bills out of the senate because of the casinos bills offered a extension of time.

Also note that this bill has to go back over for a concurrence vote in the house, WE are trying to prevent any anti-gun amendments from being attached and trying very hard to get one more PRO GUN “classified” amendment attached to this bill in the senate.

As soon as the final activist alert version is done I am sure Dan P will email blast everyone on PAFOA a copy of it along with action plans for everyone to take, (a week max)

Still everyone doesn’t have to wait on us unpaid volunteers to get started on writing your letter of support for HB 1845.
