Title: New Legislature
Post by: blackdog on December 14, 2014, 05:36:43 AM: I am interested to know how many folks on this site know the names and contact information for their State legislators? For those that know them, how many have contacted their legislators within the last 12 months to share their concerns about the future of our hunting heritage? :dunno:

Post by: JimmyHoffa on December 14, 2014, 08:58:01 AM: I think I'm on the block list for my reps. One is the local head honcho fire fighter and I have a feeling the trucks will be out of gas or won't start if my house ever catches. :chuckle:

Post by: hub on December 14, 2014, 10:30:59 AM: I contact elected officials on a regular basis. Both federal and state levels hear from me on other issues as well. Not just gun issues. I definitely get some interesting replys from Patty Murray and Maria Cantrell. They are both die hard liberals always on the wrong side of important issues. I don,t just contact my elected officials in my district. I also let the republican leaders hear from me on both a state level and federal level. I do think it matters that elected officials hear from the voters. I have been active in this regard for several years now.

Post by: buckfvr on December 15, 2014, 04:24:28 PM: I do and I have.......unfortunately she seems to be in it for her career, and votes right but never takes up the fight.......I did not vote for her last time as well as many others over here who feel exactly as I do. She has lost favor with many folks up here who have supported her in the past.

Writing letters, sending faxes, or sending email to Commissioners and Legislators get's their attention. They need to hear from the public and especially from sports folks so they know how we feel about important issues. (if any info is missing please post in this topic or message bearpaw)

Post by: whacker1 on December 16, 2014, 06:14:17 AM: I talking to the 15 area Spokane,Stevens, Ferry, Pend'Oreille, and Whitman County legislators on a fairly frequent basis and most of them know me by name, but with that said 12 of the 15 already agree with me. The remaining 3 that don't always agree with me haven't been involved with any committees that would impact the hunting /fishing industry over the last several years. However, committee assignments are changing, so these discussions may be more relevant in the coming legislative session.

While he is busy attempting to raise taxes by one billion dollars a year he should hear from gun owners who oppose 594. He needs to worry about getting re-elected and not take us for granted.
