I'm so angry over this I could just spit. I've done my faxing and also emailing (although I don't usually email because they're too easy to ignore). I was reading through the bill, the history and amendments, and looked at the sponsor list. Lo and behold, there it was - my so-called "representative", Loni Hancock, former mayor of Berkelely, is a sponsor. No wonder I get no response to my faxed letters and emails. I've already emailed the governator, and will fax and letter and call. I've posted announcements here on the California locale board, but I have no way of knowing if anyone is calling the governor, as it seems that my messages on the announcement board don't get much response. I guess too many people just don't care.

It's more like people seem to have just run out of gas. That, and maybe the exotic, expensive nature of the .50 BMG just hasn't inspired the outrage that is appropriate -- maybe people have the sense that it's someone else's ox getting gored.

But thanks for your persistence in keeping this on the message board. I saw your note before I noticed the ILA alert in my e-mail, and fired up the e-mail list, so your efforts did have at least that much effect, and probably more as the message ripples out. May not be enough, but that's not for us to decide.
