I've sent a call to action to the South Texas Tea Party group on Facebook. Hopefully they can get it out statewide and get people calling.

I just called and talked to John in Rep. Hunter's office. Sounded rushed, so he just said that Rep. hunter is a co-sponsor of 750, and he would pass my message along.

I explained that in the Senate, coming from the House it only will need 16 votes, and Wentworth consistently had 19/20 votes so I can almost guarantee it will pass if you guys get it there" The reason Zaffrini pulled her bill is that they COULD NOT kill the campus carry part ..." MORE THAN a majority of the Senate supports campus carry.

He said ok thank you and hung up.



I"m guessing all the Staff/Interns don't know all the rules we are learning
---------------
Bonham agrees with us; campus carry is more important than bingo and cosmetology.

That means the good Rep.Hunter doesn't know all of the rules, either.

Guess this is a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.

Emailed and tweeted Hunter this morning.

[edit]

didn't qsee the fax nmber for Hunter on the OP. My faux pas.

Also, tweeters, you can contact Chairman Hunter at:
