*** Senate Hearings on firearms legislation TODAY ! Here's your chance to be heard. ***

[Scuba]

If you don't do one another thing today, please call and email your elected officials in the House and Senate -- and Harry Reid -- and demand legislation to make our public spaces safe from guns. Hearings start in the Senate today. Reid is wavering, and a lot of congresspersons are afraid of their constituencies -- if they don't hear from us, what they hear will be very one-sided.


Here's an editorial from this AM's NYTimes.

"The reform effort will require an unprecedented outpouring of public support and pressure on Congress"

I've called a few Republican senators today and left them messages. Actually, a live person picked up the phone at Jeff Sessions' office. She was delightful. She let me get a full sentence out before she cut me off with some scripted b.s.

Fun!

8. Sent one to Grassley as much good as it will do.

but I keep trying, hoping one day something I say may break through to probably the least caring senator anytime.

14. I just emailed my rep....

who is a Repub. Told her if she doesn't assist in enacting stricter gun control laws that she bears responsibility for the Newtown murders. I'm sure I'll get back some standard Repuke talking points email.
