UPDATE -- 2008 RANGE CLOSURE ACT
Your phone calls and emails are
working. Some of the sponsors of HB1474 and HB1476 claim they are
"withdrawing their support". Unfortunately, it is not as simple
as that; withdrawn support by a
sponsor does not stop a bill. In New Hampshire, every bill is
heard by at least 1 committee and must be voted on by the full house.
What this means is that on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 at 1:30PM both of these bills will be heard by the
MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE. The committee "may"
vote these bills "inexpedient to legislate" or they may vote the bills
"ought to pass". Then, after the committee is finished the bills
go to the full house, which, after the November 7, 2006 general
election is dominated by anti gun zealots. The full House then
"may" vote these bills "inexpedient to legislate" or they may vote the
bills "ought to pass". These bills can very well take on a life
of their own, irrespective of what the politicians who sponsored them
may have told you.
Here is what you need to do:
1) If you have not already done so,
please call or email Reps. Baldasaro and Bedrick:
Rep. Baldasaro's phone number is
425-6997 and email address is al.baldasaro@leg.state.nh.us
Rep. Bedrick's phone number is
437-2721 and email address is jason.bedrick@leg.state.nh.us
Urge them to make certain that HB1474
and HB1476 are voted "inexpedient to legislate".
2) Call the members of the MUNICIPAL
AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE, go to:

for a list of all committee members.
Urge them to vote HB1474 and HB1476 "inexpedient to legislate".
3) Become a member of NHFC and
help preserve our rights.
