[Tom Connors]

No. The bills are being voted on in the committee.

[ACEarcher]

Oh sorry

[dontbothermeiwontbotheryo]

call on support. I hope these get passed. I also hope the #s are correct and these are for sunday hunting and for the 150yd rule because I already called van drew. Nice job posting the phone numbers! it doesn't get any easier than this guys pick up the phone call give your name address and say you support these bills. if they pass it will be great but I will probably be divorced, now she won't even get one day.
