    Emailed and called. No response to email, staffer never heard of AB357. Filled him in and got a terse "thank you for your call."

      Yeah...it doesn't seem like a very big push, huh? I'm wondering if it wasn't a just typical politician pandering to his base. I kinda get the feeling that is EXACTLY what AB357 is. But maybe if we push hard enough we can get somewhere with it. I wonder if it'd be advantageous to get some kind of local radio talk show behind it?

        Yes! I sent mail to everyone on the Public Safety Committee and a thank-you to Steve Knight, who introduced it.

        DON'T EMAIL YOUR REP. EITHER CALL OR SEND AN OLD-FASHIONED LETTER.

        I don't think email is effective; they get too much email. Invest the $0.43 in your freedom and send an old-fashioned letter.

        It can be as short as, "please vote yes on AB 357, the CCW reform bill".

          Can someone post a link the site where you can find your rep by zip code? I want to include it in my first post. Thanks!

            In general, there is good info here on contacting CA politicians regarding legislation.

                  Damn, voted No instead of Yes. Oh well, there's something ironic in it, since my "assembly critter" is a raving anti-gunner.

                    I wrote letters, I think about 8 in all. Actual letters...on paper. Signed them and everything.

                        Not at all. I do that too, people get more impressed by those for some reason (which is silly, as it's easier to prove that an email was sent and what was written in it. I guess, it's because it takes more effort to write an actual letter).

                          I was planning on e-mailing and sending a fax, but from what you guys are saying I'll try to send a regular old letter instead.

                            Go ahead and send an email, but also send a letter. Emails and faxes are not substitutes for letters. It takes so little effort to send an email these days that it's easier to discount them.

                            If you feel up for it, send a letter to all the members of the Public Safety Committee. I did that, it took 20 minutes. I figure, if I have some opportunity to take action to support a bill, I will take full advantage of it.

                              I emailed Rob Knight, but it sounds like I should send some letters, too. I'll take care of that around Thursday. (Finals week is rolling around)
