It's starts out with information about lobbying on SB 109 (the "gun show loophole" bill), which we are, of course, against. But at the end of the report it says, "***If you have NOT contacted your representatives on HB 109, PLEASE DO
SO NOW!***"

House Bill 109 is a Good bill and we're supporting it. I'm afraid that saying that at the end of a long explanation of SB 109 will cause people to mistakingly call their reps and tell them to vote against HB 109 thinking it's the loophole bill.

Senate Bill 109: Bad

House Bill 109: Good

Yeah, he works his butt off. He's amazing.

I think a clarification should be sent if possible though. HB 109 is a very good bill and we don't want it to take any friendly fire.
