The FOAC guys will let us know the next most effective thing we can do either tonight or in the morning.

Here is what's happening. First consideration was rammed through yesterday after the committee vote so all chances to amend the bill have been lost unless we can delay today's var. Vote. Please call all senators and ask them to demand an extra day to review the legislation so amendments can be made if necessary. If this doesn't happen it will become law

HB2060 referred back to Appropriations Committee, performed as a special order of business, fast tracked.
No debate, no vote.

GOA sent out an 11th hour alert for another round of emails, I will type it up and post it.

Just a quick update... The powers-that-be in the Republican Party has really stabbed Us in the back on this one. This feels like a freight train that can't be stopped but we're working to try to salvage something out of it. There might be a little bit of good news in the end it's a work in progress. Sometimes you just need to lick your wounds and move on to the next fight. Keep the pressure on today and hopefully we will get something out of this! People are working tirelessly in the background...

I saw the FOAC alert.
I'm typing up a fresh post with links to ask people to call.

email alert from FOAC leadership on Oct 2, 2018 11:45pm

After days of gun owner pressure, along with the concerted pressure of Sen. Reschenthaler and other Senators like Sen. Bartolotta, the Pennsylvania Senate will be considering an amendment by Sen. Eichelberger to HB 2060.

This amendment will restore "friends" as a source to surrender or relinquish firearms after a PFA has been imposed.

Once again we need your help in the guise of phone calls and emails Senate in support of Sen. Eichelberger's amendment. It is still being drafted so I do not have an amendment number.

If this amendment is included in the bill and passed by the Senate then FOAC will take a neutral position on this legislation but only if, and I repeat, if this legislation is amended with Sen. Eichelberger's amendment!

We need your help tomorrow morning (Wednesday, October 3rd) to put pressure on the Senators in support of Sen. Eichelberger and his amendment!

This is a highly critical alert and we do not have much time to work on the Senate.

Please target all of the Republicans with your e-mails and phone calls in the Pennsylvania Senate and Sen. Brewster (D) and Sen. Yudichak (D).

If you are an active FOAC member you can sign into the FOAC website and go to your member's area for ALL of the Senate e-mails in one block.

You've all been wonderful and highly supportive and we deeply appreciate all your hard work!

Yours in Freedom,
Kim Stolfer, President
