Pearce Alert: next Week's Committee

Well, he's telling us how to vote but doesn't have time to say what's really buried in those bills, so I guess I'll dig around and report back what I find. AZ CDL is the Arizona Citizens Defense League, by the way - 2nd amendment, pro-life, etc. They apparently spend a lot of time helping craft legislation...

Greetings ,

Senator Pearce is so busy fighting hard for our Liberties at the capitol that he has very little time to put together newsletters or alerts. The status of Bills at the capitol are "fluid", meaning a bills status can changes at a moments notice. But we will do the best we can to keep you updated. Just be aware things move fast and change quickly.

Legislative Alert:

The following is from the AzCDL and I don't think they will mind the Senator spreading the word out about these Bills.

SB 1168 will be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee at 1:30 PM on Monday, February 15, 2010.  To send a message to the committee members, urging them to support SB 1168, go here:

    If you are available, we also urge you come down to the Capitol and testify on these bills.  If you are interested, please contact Dave Kopp at president@AzCDL.org

(this link only for supporters of his bill).

HB 2543 will be heard in the House Military Affairs and Public Safety Committee at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, February 17, 2010.  To send a message to the committee members, urging them to support HB 2543, go here:

We thank everyone who took the time to contact their Representatives and Senator about HB 2305, SB 1021, and SB 1172, which were debated in Committee of the Whole (COW) hearings on February 11, 2010.  Despite an extremely short notice, hundreds of messages were sent out by dedicated activists to most of the Legislature.  All 3 bills passed out of COW.  Well done!

Both bills strengthen state firearms preemption laws, add firearms storage and accessories to the list of things political subdivisions cannot regulate, and remove the prohibition on carrying a firearm in public parks without a CCW permit. 

Your participation is critical for the success of this pro-rights legislation.  It boils down to getting involved and making a difference or letting others determine the future of YOUR rights.  It only takes a minute to click on the link to the Action Center, fill-in your name and address and send a message to the committee members.  Make history!  Get involved:  http://capwiz.com/azcdl/home/
