There it is. Again, if there are "Nays" from your district, please contact them and poitely ask why and find out if they will be more receptive to other sportspersons bills. Think we're partly to blame for this, as some of the "Nays" greatly surprise me, and I wonder if they heard from enough of us. Did everyone spend 30 seconds to contact your two Reps to let them know you were looking for them to support 1202? If not, you let us down more than the legislators did.
A general contact to your legislators early in the session that you hope for support on the sportspersons bills is not going to cut it. Each week, contacts to the comm. members on each bill to be heard there and to your legislators on each bill that is up for a floor vote is essential. They need our input on every bill, at every step of the process. Before we question the position of any legislators, we better make sure they heard from us.
