I contacted everyone that I could and voiced my support for these laws. It is my thought that all but one will be overridden. As all but one passed with veto-proof margins in the first vote before sending the bills to the Governor.

The one that will fail is SB1035. We need 5 full votes to get it passed in the Senate and just 1 vote to get it passed in the house. Now I can see 1 Delegate changing his/her vote and getting this passed..... but we will not get the 5 votes we need. Rights don't matter to these people, only the next election does, period.

There is a decent chance that if McDonnel gets elected in 2010 we may have a chance.

I contacted Puller and Amundson (both "I support your gun rights but" I really don't) legislators - last week.



I sent final "I expect you to vote to override" this morning. I have very low expectations.

The Senate cannot vote on SB1035 until the House passes it again first. We need only ONE vote in the house to get it passed there assuming all that voted for it the first time vote for it again.

The House can't vote on the vetoed Senate bills untill the Senate votes to overide and sends them to the House. Not the other way around.:exclaim:
