Good luck with that!! Anyway, I have sent email to all and got 3-4 responses in support of this bill.

[I'm armed]

We currently need more representatives to co-sponsor HB 357 in the PA House.

We also need to get it brought up for a vote in the PA House's Judiciary Committee.

Please see Whitefeather's post in this thread: http://forum.pafoa.org/pennsylvania-...fe-page-8.html Contacting these representatives does make a difference!

Sounds good.I just fired off an email.

[spratman]

I sent an email last week to David Maloney and asked he support HB 357 and Daryl Metcalfe on this legislation. No response. He was pro 2nd before but either is too busy or has had sufficient pressure from these toadies.

See this post about contacting Rep Marisco

Can't rest now....MUST get this out of Judiciary Committee and onto the floor of the House for a vote!

If you do just ONE THING, do THIS!

Preserve and Protect Pennsylvania citizens first, then we can work on the National issues

[LifeInPa]

I just faxed/e-mailed a bunch of the state reps telling them to support 357.

Great!

Be SURE to contact Rep Marsico and let him know you want this bill to pass out of his Judiciary Committee to the House floor for a Vote!

Thanks!

Will continue to pester Rep Turzai as they refuse to give me any answers on his position. (3x contacted so far)
Talked yesterday with Kim Stolfer during a ladies firearm class and he gave me a contact name.
