Wow, what a turd. I really don't like her anymore. Persistently destructive. All effort must be made to remove her from office no matter the outcome. She seems to have a vendetta.

This is 100% expected. It is an unworkable amendment. Since Mike Bascom has confirmed 24 yes votes on clean OC, we're probably OK. What's disturbing is that I don't think Hammer or Dorworth or Baxley can be there to defend OC. Evers' doesn't shine when arguing against the fascists.

For that area, she's probably as good as it gets. Southeast Coast is new jersey south.

I predict the amendment is voted down and OC passed. If not, the ship must be scuttled and another attempt made next year. If the amendment becomes law, the attitude will be "good enough."

Should we be writing her emails to withdraw this amendment? Something along the lines of "this continual anti-rights behavior is not going to help you come election time" These "representatives" need to keep their personal beliefs and opinions out of our legislature and do what they are supposed to: represent OUR beliefs and opinions as citizens.

This makes me sick.

She's far too gone. She doesn't see herself as anti gun. Indeed, we just had a well known expert on firearms law and an NRA instructor trash our rights in the Gainesville Sun. Emails to the other senator is what is needed.

already wrote to her.
will email all senators to oppose it if she does not withdraw.
I feel a lot better after hearing our supposed 24 Yeas, but her repeated attempts with this amendment make me queasy.

Hey there.

I want to also verify with the NRA that she's losing her A+ grade and endorsement. As of right now, regardless of her vote, she's failed with gun rights.

While you're at it, ask the NRA while they keep muddying the waters by issuing this text in their proposals:

Provides that concealed weapons license holders may also carry openly - to prevent license holders from being charged with the crime of violating the "Open Carry" law because a concealed firearm accidentally or inadvertently became visible.

OC is OC, not a watered down version left to interpretation of whether we "accidentally or inadvertently" show the piece or not.

Regards,
JR

Tucky used the words "solid 24". This suggests an adequate defense of OC will keep them on board.

Well, at least this roller coaster will be over tomorrow morning.

Can someone draw up a opposition letter?

I just want to take a bunch of sleeping pills and knock myself out until Thursday. This is freakin' horrible. Having to talk to these people and listen to their rhetoric is brutal. I wonder if America has any chance left at all. It's very depressing dealing with the politicians. They hate the crap out of everything this nation was meant to be. I almost want to leave the country.

Almost.

I know what you mean. I am unable to watch mainstream news on any issue. Like nails on a chalkboard. I could get up and speak in front of these committees or sessions no problem, but I can't be a passive listener. I plan on watching tomorrow's proceedings with the volume muted. I just can't stand it.
