We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I just read the same. Good stuff! Now to work to get rid of those 18 that voted for it and keep the 22 who voted against.

I just watched Senator Marsh speak on SB1257 on PBS and I must say, he is by far one of the worst public speakers I have ever seen. I also was entertained by his use of two incidents that occurred outside of Virginia (one in California, one in Missouri I believe) as evidence for his argument to pass this bill.

No idea where you can find a video replay. I just happened to have my TV set on public television and they are broadcasting the assembly meeting. I believe you can stream it from the General Assembly website.

I watched it on the live streaming feed from the general assembly. When they are actually in session the feed is available from the GA's home page. Same for the house. Don't know if there is any replay capability.

Here are the links:
House:
http://legis.state.va.us/hod_session_streaming.html
Senate:
http://legis.state.va.us/sov_session_stream.html
At the bottom of each page, there is also a link to the minutes from each day. Just a summary of votes, but should be enough to see what happened to a bill you are interested in.

I noticed that they also voted on a "Reconsideration of defeated action agreed to by Senate (40-Y 0-N)"
and then did a "Passed by for the day".
I guess this means it is still alive and Marsh will have time for arm twisting/bribery. 4 votes is not enough margin for me.

Not even four votes, only three technically, by two to tie. How do you find out how your rep voted. TIME TO GIVE THEM A CALL!!!

In a parliamentary move, the gun show bill's vote was reconsidered and
passed by for the day, effectively bringing it back from the dead and
allowing the bill to be voted on again on the Senate Floor (perhaps
tomorrow). :-(
So we must keep the pressure on until this atrocity is truly dead and
buried.
We must make sure that we don't lose any of the Senators who opposed
the bill today.

Senator Houck's aides are beginning to recognize my name when ever I call:celebrate Pretty soon they should be able to recognize my voice since I call just about everyday.

I see Senator Newman, my senator, is a 'nay' voter. I'll be sure to send him a thank you note, but also encourage him to vote it again when necessary.
