Parking lot bill up for a committee vote today

From the TFA:

The Employee Safe Commute (SB3002) and the 2nd Amendment Nondiscrimination Bill (SB2992) are scheduled for the Senate today

These two bipartisan bills, carried by Senator Faulk in the Senate and Representative Bass in the House, are scheduled for a vote today in the Senate.  Employee Safe Commute is to be heard in Senate Judiciary today.  2nd Amendment Nondiscrimination bill is to be heard in Senate Commerce, Labor and Agriculture.

Please contact your Senator and the committee(s) members to urge them to approve these bills and send them to the Senate Floor so that all citizens, through representation by their Senators, can be heard on these bills.

First, you can contact all legislators by email through the TFA Action Center system.

Second, you can look up and call/email/go see your individual senator through the Legislative Website Member page.

Third, you can do as TFA members Sam Cooper, Kenny Crenshaw (both from Memphis) and Richard Archie (from Jackson) are doing and drive to the Legislative Plaza to talk to their legislators face to face and to attend the committee hearings.

Fourth, go online to the Facebook pages of each of these legislators – particularly your own – and specifically ask them to sponsor, support and vote for these bills.  Make it a public issue on the “campaign” pages on Facebook.

Fifth, ask for written responses of their position on these bills, forward those responses to TFA, post them on the TFA Forum and post those responses to Facebook.  We benefit from public records of who supports and votes for our bills and who hides in caves waiting to reappear, like the groundhog, when they need your vote for re-election.

I’m not sure I’m going to have an opportunity to watch this, but I’ll let you know something as soon as I hear anything. Remember, the Senate isn’t where we are having problems, it’s the House.

LATER: Rolled to next week to allow for testimony.
