[Nfb-hi] HEARING MONDAY - We Must Stop HB 646!

[Justin Salisbury]

Fellow Federationists:

Happy Tuesday!

I am so pleased with the showing we made at the public hearing, and I really enjoyed my conversations with the Senators and stakeholders after the hearing. Shout outs to Shellford, Dean, Shannon, and Debbie Gabe for their great testimonies! The folks from DCAB were great, too.

As great as it was, though, we need to see this through to the end. We can't end up like the Atlanta Falcons.

We just need to do one more thing before they have decision-making meetings on Wednesday, tomorrow. Let's all make one final push with phone calls in opposition to this bill, thanking them for their time and attention with yesterday's public hearing. Below my signature, please find the list of names and phone numbers. If you want to visit their offices, that's great, too. The decision-making meetings will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, at around 3 pm, and I will send out a follow-up message about those tonight as I get more information.

Thank you all for joining with me in standing up to low expectations!
