Regular mail is best.

 

Regular mail, telephone, or fax are the only effective methods. Email only gets filtered out and never reaches the delegate or the staffers.

 

mpg9999, you made a grammatical error in your last sentence. Rather than "Thank you for your taking the time...," I'd use "Thank you for taking the time."

 

Thanks, I saw that. I forgot to post in this thead about it though. Good catch. I didnt host it so I have to wait for him to change it.

 

Alright guys, I have an update. I talked to Steve from SEMA today. The bill was JUST introduced. Its not even in the house yet to be voted on. First it goes to committee (I think the transportation committee, Steve is checking on all the details for this). While the bill is in committee, we, the citizens of Virginia, will have a chance to speak. This will happen in Richmond, and as soon as the date is available it will be posted.

We really need people to come down to Richmond for this. Steve said it would be great to see it completely filled with supporters of the bill. More details will follow as more information becomes available.

If it makes it through committee it will go to the house for a vote. This is when your delegate will vote on it, and that’s why its important to contact them. If it passes that, it goes to the senate for a vote. We will once again need your help to contact your senator to support this bill.

One thing that Steve said he wanted done is for people to contact Delegate Fralin and thank him for introducing the bill. It was very difficult to get this introduced and we need to show our support for Delegates willing to help. So if you can, please write him as well thanking him for his support in introducing H.B. 2895

This is just the beginning to make this bill a reality. It will take a lot more hard work for this to pass. Keep your eyes open for more updates from SEMA, and get ready to write again. Thank you for everyone that has helped.

-Mike
