I'm not sure how to ask this as a clear question, because there are SOoooo many variables..

But...

At some point we'll need to explore the various options for promoting OC (both inside the system and outside the system) and try to come to some consensus regarding which route(s) should receive our efforts. I suspect there are a lot of folks like me that do not understand (in detail) the "inside baseball" paths available and would benefit from an experienced overview on this. I assume (maybe naively) that some of the "OC in your face" crowd is their chosen that path out of a lack of understanding other available paths.

If we decide to pull in any particular direction together, it will certainly behoove us to have some measure of buy-in from our brothers in arms that have thus far chosen the more confrontational path.

I suppose that's two questions...

1. Options?
- "Inside"
- "Grassroots"
2. What (if any) coordination can/should be attempted with the other OC folks?

Great minds.....

What persons in the House and Senate hold sway over committee assignments?
How do we best work together to assure that
1. pro-2A legislators are elected/assigned to those position holding sway over committee assignments
2. pro-2A legislators are assigned as committee chairpersons (in relevant/critical committees)
3. the best 2A bills are successfully promoted out of committee.

example:
I can walk into my Reps office today and talk with him about this, but, WHO do I ask him to vote for as Speaker and how do we work together with party leadership to make sure that we are promoting a candidate for speaker that they will also support? Because, as we all know, splitting the GOP vote gets us Straus again.
