SB 5050 and SB 5444 Call to Action
Below is a step by step process for those who are uncertain of how the process works.
Right now Washington State is facing some of the most extreme gun measures in its history. We need to get everyone on board to help fight this. This is what you can do to start the fight:
1. Contact your Senator via email. You can send the composed email to each of the legislators in your district as well. Remember to include in your letter a request for a response. Use this link to determine who your legislators and senator are: Washington State Legislature
2. Call the office of the representative sponsoring each bill:
HB 1134, Strom Peterson (D), 21st legislative district, 324 John L. O'Brien Building PO Box 40600 Olympia, WA 98504 (360) 786 - 7950 [email protected]
HB 1387, Laura Jinkins (D), 308 John L. O'Brien Building PO Box 40600 Olympia, WA 98504 (360) 786 - 7930 [email protected]
HB 2042, Jim Walsh (R), 19th district, 428 John L. FO'Brien Building PO Box 40600 Olympia, WA 98504 (360) 786 - 7806 [email protected]
SB 5444 and SB 5050, David Frockt (D), 46th district, 227 John A. Cherberg Building PO Box 40446 Olympia, WA 98504 (360) 786 - 7690 [email protected]
3. Prepare to attend the public hearing. This is where your presence will make a difference. We need to get as many people as possible to attend in solidarity against this bill. Whether or not you decide to speak, you can make a statement by your presence so plan to wear a respectable 2A shirt, and wear it proudly! Attached is a link with information that I urge everyone to read. It includes info regarding what you'll need to do if you want your voice heard. In addition, those who are unable to attend may also prepare a written testimony and still be heard! We can all do this! Here is the link: Washington State Legislature How to Testify You may use this link to set up an account and notification for when the meeting will take place: Log In
4. With the above info, begin reaching out to friends and members of NWFA who you know will want to speak at the committee meeting (public hearing). Personal message with one another on this site to determine what remarks you would like to make, so we may avoid repetitive messages.
I've written this because I believe our voices will make a difference. While many here on NWFA do some of the above often, there are others who do not know the process and I'm hoping this will be of help. As of yet, I haven't seen a particular thread addressing the actions we all need to take and time is of the essence. Please plan to clear your schedule for the day should the public hearing come up last minute. Also, it is very important to be courteous in this process...many of us have some choice words we'd rather give, but they won't help our cause.
Also, you don't have to be a Washington resident to show at the hearing, and we need all hands on deck!
Regarding parking at the capitol, parking police know that there are a lot of visitors who don't know the system. They'll put a ticket on your car the moment your meter expires, so watch out! Here is a link to help you find safe places to park: Washington State Legislature Parking
Thank you!
