Speaking with Swiss this morning - and he has a hard rest of the week ahead of him just handling his own business - BUT - what we're waiting word on is some one on the House side that will also sponser the bill to make the contacts to vote it in - just like the Senate side.
There are few days left so all this needs to be done quickly - its a toss of the coin at this point.

We should be hearing where we stand with the latter - later tonight.

Just like the Senate side - here is the House video streaming link when it comes time (you can peek if you want). http://www.house.ga.gov/communications/en-US/VideoBroadcasts.aspx

But alas business gets in the way of important things! I have been in 2 states in the last three days and now am sitting in downtown Atlanta. That said we had a busy day yesterday. We got a return on our investment from all the activity that happened yesterday. We do have a committee and a sponsor House member. A few details are being worked out before we hit the phones hard to ask for our House members support. I should have more information later today.

A few members from outside the state have asked if family members or friends living in Georgia can call. The answer is YES. If you have family, friends, dogs that speak good english and are registered to vote please have them call their Georgia House representative when we are ready.

Stay tuned!

Sample e-mail and telephone script:

My name is (Swiss) and I am georgia resident living in Congressman/Congresswoman X's District. My address is xxx. I would like to ask for Congressman/Congresswoman X support for the upcoming vote on Senate Bill 392 Military Vehicles.

Thank You for your support of SB 392.

Instructions:
1.) SS members please replace the highlighted yellow with the correct information
2.) Please pass on the message and contact information to all your friends, family, people that hate you etc. to get the word out.

This should be the highest priority next week! Those members that live in committee's district work on this all weekend.

Anyone outside of Georgia - there is no reason to not e mail the 12 folks on the Motor Vehicle Committee - even if you do not live here a tad bit of input may not hurt - let them make the decision to not recognize the data.

This bit of getting this Bill put before the House Motor Vehicle Committee took a great deal of the lobbyist time and energy - do they need more funding - that is an easy answer if you do not like working for free - this has been an extremely difficult struggle this last week for them and they GOT IT DONE so it can be voted on Monday the 10th - that alone is a success.

Donate if you can as its not over by any means with so little time left - e mail your House Rep - those outside Georgia - contact by e mail the 12 members or only one if you can.

Ever hear the term "walk in the park" - those that know what it means is they are totally surrounded - no escape - calling rounds within their parimeter its known as other terms.
That is where we stand - this is the last steps to help Georgia - can you help - will you help - will you get involved - or will you just try to find a way you think is an escape.

Yes we need your help and yes for one - begging for some input and help.

Good morning everyone, I love Zout's enthusiasm and support! One thing to note though, all legislators want to hear from THEIR CONSTITUENTS, ie the voters in their districts. We are looking for quality and not quantity. The best way to achieve that goal is as follows:

1.) Call during office hours
2.) You have to leave / provide your address
3.) Be short and sweet, We are asking for Congressman/Congresswomans support on SB 392 Military Vehicles

If you e-mail, e-mail once and provide your address in the e-mail or it will be looked at as junk mail.

We did get a nice $100 contribution last night from a previous contributor and THANK YOU!

It is a little harder to find your house representative, the easiest way is to look at the list below and find the nearest city to where you live then click on the district map to ensure you live in that district. The district map is below the representatives picture.
