Senate floor vote on SB355
From John at Auburn Brew Club,
SB355 to legalize homebrewing passed the Senate Tourism & Marketing Committee this morning. Now what is needed as soon as is humanly possible is for the bill to come up for a Senate floor vote. That requires that the bill be placed on a “Special Order Calendar.” There is yet another Committee in charge of placing a bill on the Special Order Calendar. That is the Rules Committee.
Attached is a document you can use to track which of the Rules Committee members you have contacted and by what method. Feel free to hand write a letter, place a phone call, send a fax, send an email, etc. Or better yet contact them via all methods. Try to say something different each time you contact the Senator via a different method.
Today was the 22nd out of 30 legislative days. There are generally 2 legislative days per week, so we don’t have that many legislative days left, and we still have to get through the House. But occasionally the flood gates will open and alot of bills get passed at the very end of the session. This may be one of those years.
We need you help. Please make these contacts yourself and recruit others to make some contacts also. Get your spouse or significant other to make some contacts for you.
We can do this if we try!
