I hope you're right but today's circus shakes my confidence.
It takes a 2/3rds majority (21) to suspend the rules to bring a bill up for a vote out of order, but it only takes a simple majority (16) to pass a bill once it gets to the Senate floor.
And there are how many co-authors? ;-)

nm ... Author, and 14 Senators co-authored the bill

Re: SB 354 Campus Carry Placed on Intent Calender for Tomorr

If I understand correctly, it can't hit the floor the first day it's on Intent calendar anyway, so Thurs would be the soonest it could possibly hit the floor.
The list, called the Intent Calendar, must be made available to each senator and to the press not later than 6:30 p.m. on the day the notice is filed. No bill or resolution may be considered on its first day on the Intent Calendar, and a vote of two-thirds of the senators present is required before any of the measures listed on the Intent Calendar may be debated.
Soo tomorrow is the day to call, fax, e-mail Senators, and maybe peep in on House Calendar committee

In addition to the above, here's John Woods post, just do the opposite :mrgreen:
