Emails and telephone calls to all six have been done. Let's get this one done and Opt-in language removed.

Me too. They appear to be meeting right now as none of them are voting in their respective chambers.

Contacted all of them...
One of the people that answered the phone was kind enough to inform me that all 6 have to agree on the removal of the Opt In language, so this will perhaps not be the easiest thing to accomplish.

GCO Alert Email claimed that only 4 of the 6 had to agree.

Dear GCO Member,

We need all members to start contacting the Senate NOW and let them know that Campus Carry needs to stay in SB101 and SB101 needs to be passed by individual roll call vote. Please contact ALL republican Senators now and the preferred method is the telephone. Members of the Senate's phone numbers can be found here. Click on all names with Republican next to their names and their phone numbers will be revealed.

Feel free to email them as well, but it is felt the method that will garner the most attention is the phone. If you want to email them, do so in the evening if possible.

It appears that the Board of Regents taxpayer-funded lobbyists are making headway in retaining their pretend gun free zones that endanger our children. We need to let all Republican Senators know our feelings and ask for their vote to pass this bill with Campus Carry included in the bill.

GeorgiaCarry.Org's lobbyists and volunteer attorneys are working behind the scenes on improving SB101 and our Legislators need to see that there is support for the changes GeorgiaCarry is seeking.
Thanks in advance for all your hard work and continued support.

Loudermilk's box is full.

Beach's mailbox is full.

Bethel, Jackson, and Jeffares all have the same secretary. Ask to leave them all the same message.

Guys we need yall to make the calls!

 

[Kaikias]

Calls made...took longer then I thought it would lol.

It's interesting how the people that answer the phones react...some are very amiable while others....eh not so much.

From Peach Pundit's daily newsletter:

The fate of gun legislation is much less certain. Word has reached Peach Pundit Daily that Senate Conferees have "locked down" on the bill, willing to let the bill die unless the House gives in to their demands on such items as "campus carry" which the Senators oppose.

This is the current status. Please contact those in the most recent GCO Update and encourage them to keep campus carry intact. Please thank the House conferees and leadership for standing firm. Please politely push the Senate conferees and leadership (see the most recent GCO Update) to accept campus carry.

This is where the real battle is. This is where the real battle has been for some time, as I posted 20 or more pages ago, "focus on campus carry." It is now coming to a head.

You will know more from the General Assembly today, but do not waste time awaiting the news.

Go in person and talk to the Senate conferees and leadership. If they are on the floor, have pages send them a note. Imagine a pile of notes on their desk urging SB 101 and campus carry. Then call and email and fax.
