URGENT ACTION ITEM BELOW:
Senator Marsh's gun show bill, SB 1257, was brought back from the dead
by Senator Colgan (Democrat - Manassas), who claimed to have voted
against the bill by mistake and wanted to change his vote. That
opened the door for Senator Marsh to ask that his bill be passed by
for the day.
Senator Marsh is probably looking to water down his bill in hopes that
he can get enough votes to pass it tomorrow.
URGENT ACTION ITEM
We all need to contact our Senators and ask them to not support SB
1257, even if it gets watered down. We must do this NOW, the vote
could be tomorrow (Wednesday, Feb 3rd).

same place):
