Grassroots Activism Works!
The disappointment of the confirmation votes
notwithstanding, there can be no doubt that you guys are
doing a fantastic job and getting results. Consider these
recent developments, which can be directly attributed to
your hard work:
 * S.10: You may already be aware that you have forced
   three cosponsors to abandon Hatch's Horror Bill. S. 10
   has gone from "must pass" to "uh-oh" as a result.
   Stay tuned for another big announcement -- it's not
   official yet, but good things are happenning.
 * New Mexico: The message you sent saying that physical
   attacks on pro-gun legislators would not be tolerated
   was certainly received. It must have been a nightmare
   for anti-gun waterboy Rep. James Taylor. The "while
   you're at it, thank Rep. Lisa Lutz for her hard
   work" mention resulted in such an overwhelming show of
   support that Lutz's office staff, while appreciative,
   almost couldn't handle the volume of contacts.
 * Utah: Grassroots activists in Utah, led by Dr. Sarah
   Thompson and the Utah Gun Rights Association, received
   help from the GOA alerts network to achieve total
   victory over SB 57. The sponsor, ultra-powerful Senate
   President Lane Beattie, withdrew his own bill due to
   massive pressure from gun owners. SB 57 would have
   crippled the state's concealed carry pre-emption
   protection.
 * Alabama: We lost the House vote on HB 32, the Alabama
   Instant Registration Check, but what would otherwise
   have been a slam-dunk for gun rights compromisers now
   faces a decidedly uncertain future in the state Senate.
   The Alabama media is tracking this one closely as
   grassroots power takes on institutional compromising in
   a true showdown over the meaning of gun control.
 * Florida: Your activism has the Constitution Revision
   Commission running scared. One Commissioner reported
   receiving 1500 contacts in just a few days in
   opposition to CRC-167, which would gut the state's
   pre-emption protection. The first vote gave the
   anti-gunners a majority, keeping the measure alive, but
   failed to garner the number of votes required at final
   passage to place CRC-167 on the ballot. Several
   Commissioners, no doubt concerned about how the winds
   were blowing, did not vote at all. GOA will be
   intensifying efforts to defeat CRC-167 in the coming
   days; please stay tuned.
 * Virginia: Concentrated and steady pressure resulted in
   state Senate passage of SB 342, a bill to repeal the
   restaurant ban on concealed carry. The bill now goes to
   the House.
