I don't want to discourage emails, but they are the least effective way to communicate with a Rep. or Senator. I get buried in emails and I get to them when I can, which varies with my schedule. A telephone call or a fax are much harder to put off until later, as someone on staff will take the call, listen to the voicemail, or at least scan the fax.

Please call and/or fax your House Representative and ask them to oppose Rep. Davis’ HB594 (Gun show killer bill) and HB595 (1-gun-a-month/gun registration bill).

The Brady Campaign has generated a bunch of calls to the members of the House Law Enforcement Committee and we need to show them there is far more opposition to these bills than there is support. Please call or fax the members of the Law Enforcement Committee and ask them not to support HB594 and HB595 and also ask that they not even hold public hearings on the bills. (The Brady Campaign calls are pressuring for a hearing.) This is a very gun-friendly committee, with some exceptions! (Chairman Driver is the author of the Castle Doctrine Bill.) Please be respectful and non-threatening!

House Law Enforcement Committee:

Rep. Joe Driver - Chairman

Rep. Thomas Latham - Vice-Chairman

Rep. Alma Allen

Rep. Stephen Frost

Rep. Soloman Ortiz, Jr.

Rep. Hubert Vo

Resp. George “Buddy� West
