Ca Microstamping, AB1471

Now is the time to write to Arnold.

One suggestion - don't post your letters. PM them to one another, email, something private.

While we outnumber the antis, there's no point giving them specific things to write about; let them continue in their errors while we refute them to the Governor's office.
 
Something very important to include in your letter

This patented technology is owned by a single company that has lobbied heavily to force money into its own pockets by having California make this law. That's what this is REALLY all about, since the Legislature has chosen to ignore the UC Davis study that it commissioned to investigate the technology.

obviously our legistlature is having its pockets greased.

Exactly.

That's why Arnold is our only hope here. I don't care for the guy much any more, or for his current politics, but he does have some sense of right and wrong, I think, even now.
 
I think it's tipped.

Doesn't mean I'll totally give up, but I think it's tipped.

Maybe redistricting would change something, but I don't know. When I get some rabid anti-war, pro-surrender flyer from my congressbitch, and I live in a Republican city in an area with a few military bases, I can only think one thing: gerrymandering. Real, serious gerrymandering.

No representative, of any political persuasion, would DARE print something like that in San Diego, if she thought she had to win votes. No way, no how.

Perhaps we should have packed up when we sold our last place. Hard to say. I will say that my wife and I weigh costs and benefits often, and at some point, we will leave, along with many others. Only bummer is, by then, there will be a full-blown recession here. It's coming, even though the California-centric can't see it.

On the other hand, that's the only real hope we have for political change.

Agreed. The question now is how do we take this state back or has it tipped past the point of no return?

Well I've got some suggestions, but certain topics aren't supposed to be discussed here.

Vote. Be pro active. Support candidates not just monetarily but host events to support them.
Write to everyone you can. Papers, Blogs, legislators, news outlets. Posting on gun forums is great but you're generally preaching to the chior.

Don't give up.
 
Redistricting must be priority 1.

We don't GET to vote, right now. The system is rigged.

In the mean time, propositions, letters, and votes are important. But redistricting is in play right now, and THAT is the most important thing going on, by a long shot.
 
Thank you

Just wanted to say...

Thank you...:)

to everyone who contacted a CA legislator, the Gov. or a Manufacturer today. Let's keep it up Arnold has until October 14th to sign the bill into law.

Arnold has until October 14th to sign the bill into law. Let's contact him every day until 10/14/2007.
 
Just finished writing him again.

I reminded him that I've voted for him twice, that the bill is leftist (so he has to consider with whom he is aligning himself) and that the technology is fatally flawed and targets only good citizens.

If Ahnold doesn't veto this then there's no difference between him and a full blown anti.

Thanks to everyone who has participated on this thread and special thanks to Glockman19 for starting it.
 
Arnold has vetoed every gun control bill except AB50, which banned .50 caliber rifle sales. However, this was before his hard swing to the left after all his mainly conservative initiatives went down in flames in a special election.

I'm mailing a couple of letters, against microstamping and the lead ammo ban and also plan to call. Couldn't get thru today which is I hope a good sign.

How is California about keeping bills on the governors desk without signing or a veto? Do they become law after a period of time under such circumstances?
 
yes, after 30 days without action (veto) they automatically become law. That is why it is so important that we kill this now. If he sits on his hands, he didnt sign it, but it becomes law anyway.
 
btw, Arnold has been signing stuff. He is currently out of state, but he signed a bunch of stuff, so our stuff could be in the next batch when he returns from NY. Keep hitting him up. There is still time.

I wrote him and reminded him that I voted for him. It will be his political demise if he signs this bill. I too live in an area that has a Republican Representative and I write many letters, hopefully they make a difference. Republicans ALWAYS respond, Democrats NEVER respond. It must be the subject matter. If that is an indicator the Governor did not respond to my AB 1471 letter. I chalked it up to his being busy and agreeing with me.
 
NO not yet. I check daily and will post once there is any word of signing or veto.
