Looks like that is for more detailed discussion. Wouldn't it be better to start a regular thread to discuss ideas?

Article from the NorthWest Indiana Times. Note the mention of the resignation of Rep. Davis (R-Portland). I will be watching closely who replaces Davis as chair of Public Policy (hint: this is where we press).
Legislative preview: Lots to do, little time
I'm willing to let them raise my taxes if they promise to keep the calender empty.
Note lack of purple.
Or is it just that you're understandably worried about the warning from Mark Twain? "No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session."

I'm afraid that I have become so cynical that I just want to minimize damage.
I think that they all have a lust for power and we are just the currency that purchases it for them.
Dear Sen. __________ (or Rep. ____________, or if addressing Rep. Brian Bosma specifically, "Dear Mr. Speaker,")
I have been looking at the list of bills introduced this legislative session, and ask your help in getting some that specifically interest me passed, preferably without restrictive amendments or other "watering down". In particular, I'm speaking of bills _____, ______, _______, and _______, all of which address the removal of old laws that, while possibly well-intentioned by their authors, serve only to limit the ability of good people to respond to the actions of people with criminal intent.
Please use your vote wisely and Constitutionally, in accordance with your oath of office. Laws against criminal activity have never stopped criminal activity, they've only allowed it to be punished. Unfortunately, those laws have also put at risk those who have no malice toward others, costing them dearly defending their innocence. It's time to make Indiana the safest of the 50 states for good people, and the most dangerous place there is for people to be criminals.
Thank you for your kind attention to this letter and my intent in writing it.
The favor of a reply is requested.
Have a good, liberty-conscious session, and God bless,
(signed)
Might be a stupid question, but when would be a good time to start sending mail to them? And would regular mail be better than email?
EDIT: I am guessing around January 7th when the session begins. I need to learn to read better.
Thanks for the reply BoR. I am somewhat new to the gun scene and this is the first session I can try to do something. So i plan to do what I can.
I do have a question, maybe you can be helpful to answer it. How likely do you feel that they can repeal the GFZ for Indiana Ports? Or more so, what is the reason behind it? Is it similar to the GFZ for school zones? I work in the Northern Indiana Port and am not allowed to take my gun to work because of this. And hate not being able to atleast leave it in my car.
Thanks again.
Ryan
I'd love to be able to answer you, Ryan, but I really don't know. Include that request in your letters to your legislators and maybe one of them will write it. BTW, the deadline for legislators to submit bills is 12/13, so if you're going to do that, you need to hurry. It's certainly a worthwhile goal to pursue!
Blessings,
Bill
