Vermont Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs
Urgent Action Needed
Despite approximately 1,200 sportspeople who took time out of their lives to come to the statehouse on January 30th, everything has changed since the horrific event at Parkland Florida and the events in Vermont that followed. At a Press Conference this morning, Attorney General Donovan, Speaker Johnson, Senate Pro Tempore Ashe and Lt Governor Zuckerman all announced that S.221, H.422 and even S.6 would be voted on by the Senate as early as next week. Other bills that aren't even active are also being openly discussed, such as an Assault Weapons Ban and a High Capacity Magazine Ban. Vermont could, quite literally, become worse than New York in one fell swoop.
Our first line of attack to stop this avalanche is to have each of us contact our respective senators. Please do the following IMMEDIATELY:
1. Using the list that follows locate your county, and then make note of your senator(s) names if you are not already familiar with them.
2. Call the Sargent-At-Arms at (802) 828-2228
a. Politely ask to leave a message for your senator(s)
b. Give your name and town of residence
c. Indicate your message is urgent, and ask that the Senator(s) call you concerning the planned attack on your gun rights, and then give your phone number.
3. If you don't hear back or are seeing this on the weekend, please consider calling your Senator at home using the list that follows. Please note that the numbers provided are published on the Legislative website so these are public, if there is no number than they have an un-listed number.
4. Again using the list which follows, email your Senator(s) and tell them that you strongly oppose S.6, and ask them for a more deliberative process for H.422.
This is Extremely Urgent!!!!
