Keep up the pressure on Democrat Legislators! Demand a NO vote on three big bills: 5078, 1630, 1705

Folks, we’re almost to the end of session. Just 11 more days. It IS VERY frustrating to have to work so hard to protect our rights. It seems like a never-ending slog.

And yet, as we watch what is happening in Ukraine, what better way to spend our time than fighting to make sure that we’re not placed in the same situation they are by politicians serving their own agendas? The anti-gun politicians are advancing a malicious party agenda. We’re fighting to preserver our right to defend our lives and the lives of our loved ones.

As one of our panelists said in her testimony:

“The laws of the legislature are not the laws of the streets, and each step that this body takes to make it more difficult for myself and other women to obtain and keep their firearms only makes the jobs of the real criminal element easier.”

Autumn, Testimony on HB 1705

Email and Call

Note: All the Republicans are voting against this. We’re only focused on Democrat legislators.

Here’s what you can do to make your voice heard and make it very difficult for the D legislators to pass these bills:

Step 1: Find your Democrat legislators here: https://wacivilrights.org/legislators/ Write down the phone number and email address of the two WA State House Representatives, and the State Senator (not Federal).

Step 2: Call your House Representative and require they vote NO on SB 5078 banning magazines

Call and leave a very simple message “Please vote NO on bill SB 5078.” That’s it. You don’t have to be super knowledgeable or have the perfect talking points.

Send an email to the same Representatives, saying, “My name is First Last, and I live in your district at <address>. I urge you to vote NO on bill SB 5078.”

You can read more about the magazine ban below.

Step 3: Call your Senator and require they vote NO on 1630 and 1705.

Call and leave a very simple message “Please vote NO on bill HB 1630 and HB 1705.” That’s it. You don’t have to be super knowledgeable or have the perfect talking points.

Send an email to the same Senator, saying, “My name is First Last, and I live in your district at <address>. I urge you to vote NO on HB 1630 and HB 1705.”

Step 4: Share this with three friends and ask them to do the same. We win if we’re all pitching in together!

We want every legislator to know that we’ll do everything in our power to help in the campaign against them if they vote for these bills.Your effort matters.

Here’s the scoop on each bill:

ESSB 5078: Bans all magazines carrying greater than 10 rounds.

ESHB 1630: Bans weapons in any municipal building during a city/town council meeting, weapons in any building where a school board meeting is being held, and weapons in many voting-related locations.

ESHB 1705: Bans home-built firearms, and even repair of firearms by forcing dealer serializing of receivers and many parts.

Note: All the Republicans are voting against this. We’re only focused on Democrat legislators.
