Ok...
I was there for the committee meeting - and gave testimony. I got grizzly looks from Sputnik, and glared at by Senators that think this isn't safe.
I hear from riders left and right - up and down forums that want it. No, that WANT IT. But, everyone is just sitting by and just posting about it. Please... pretty please... go CALL your Senator.
Fill up the voicemail.
Carona's office is certain that if we can get 21 verbals we can get this to the floor Tuesday. If it passes we have a shot. It's already gotten farther than it ever has before.
http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/ That is how you find who represents you. CALL them. It takes less than a few minutes and is far more effective than sending an email. The TMRA was certain we wouldn't be able to pull this off, if just because we haven't had a voice before. Be a voice. PLEASE, be a voice.
