OFCC is Having a Senate Advocacy Day and Needs Volunteers

Post by Chuck »

On Thursday, Feb 27 2014 OFCC is having an Advocacy Day in the Ohio Senate when we will visit every senator's office and ask them to support / help push HB 203 through committee and onto the Senate floor quickly.
It was referred to the Senate's Civil Justice Committee only yesterday, thanks to your phone calls and emails, and we want the committee hearings to begin so we can keep this important bill moving

Yes, it has some technical issues with firearm disability and restoration of rights, but we have been working on that and the bill's author has agreed to drop that part, and address it in a later bill, at a later time
That is one of the issues we need this Senate committee to address, amending the bill.
We need this bill to pass before the Legislature breaks for the summer, because this is an election year and nothing will happen from the break until after the election, (except campaigning) :)

OFCC will have four teams visiting all the Senators on our Advocacy Day and we would like to have as many concerned citizens join us as possible
There is strength in numbers, and we would really like to have a half dozen people or more in each team
Morne, Mr. Magoo, Navy Chief, and myself are each leading a team and will do most of the talking, so don't let shyness be an obstacle.

If you want to take part in this, please respond either here or by PM to the team leader of your choice

Thanks!!

I told NavyChief via Facebook messenger that if I happen to be off that day I will attend. As goofy as my work schedule is right now its a crap shoot.

Those volunteering please let Chuck know who your state senator is. If you don't know the above link will tell you. We'll try to put folks on the team that sees their senator so they can hear from an OFCC activist who is also a constituent.

Part of this means that we need folks from ALL OVER OHIO. I know it is a long drive for lots of folks. It is 2 hours for me and I'm not the farthest from Columbus. Still, few things are as powerful as having a very active statewide organization in a legislator's office with one of their own constituents telling them why they should listen.

This is big. Game day is 2/27.

Can you please provide a link to the actual bill that contains the fixes that said author stated would be dropped?

EXCELLENT! We could really, really use a constituent of Kearney's on NavyChief's team.

Nope
Doesn't exist yet

At some point during the three committee hearings, one of the committee members will propose an amendment to strike sentences this, that, and the other thing, and they will vote to adopt it. That's how bills get changed

Stay tuned, I'll link it when it shows up

Sounds like a good use of a cold day. I'll take the day off work and help browbeat Chris Widener with you...he's been a great state senator for my district.
