Please do more than just than hope, or even pray. Though both are good ideas and a place to start.
NOW is the time to contact (snail mail is BEST right now, phone call or fax is ok, email better than nothing) your legislators letting them know how important it is to you that they vote to support your RKBA this session.
NOW is the time to sign up GOUtah! alerts to help be informed during the session.
NOW is the time to set aside some amount of time, mentally at least, to attend a hearing or two at the capital to show support for your RKBA. And as I always advise for such things, PLEASE wear you "urban cammo" to such events: if at all possible, business causal or business formal, at the very least a pair of jeans with a PLAIN polo shirt; please avoid fatigues and other cammos, T-shirts, and baseball caps.
NOW is the time to set aside an evening, literally, to attend the neighborhood causases of the political party of your choice. These will be held Tuesday March 25th, starting, I believe, at 7:00 pm. Start committing a few friends and neighbors who live in your precinct to attend with you and either vote for you as a county and/or State delegate to your party, or to help you support another strongly pro-RKBA delegate. Start encouraging gun owners in other precincts to do likewise.
Give serious thought to the party caucas you choose to attend. In many cases, having some influence in the party of the incumbant legislators in your area will give you more pull than being involved with a party that might be more pro-gun, but isn't likely to win the next election.
For extra credit, start looking now for good men and women who might be encouraged to run for the legislature--if your current incumbant is not good on guns--or prepare to assist a good, pro-gun incumbant with his re-election campaign.
We didn't arrive where we are through simple hope. It was a lot of work and if we can spread that work around among more bodies, it is easier on everyone.
