I also called all of the Reps. of the House Calendars Committee members. None are MY Rep. so I said I was calling them as a member of calendars.

Just a hint, If you go up to Charles' post and print the names and number it makes things much easier. Another thing you might consider is the be sure and thank to Calendars members who are sponsors of the bill. After I introduce myself, I tell them I am calling for two reasons. One is to get HB1893 out of Calendars and two is to thank them for their support. It makes you sound more informed if you acknowledge their ongoing support.

I find it also helps if you can personalize things a bit. I have a 22 year old daughter going to Tarleton State in Stephenville. She is getting her CHL this summer(or at least taking the class this summer). I let them know that. Or if you are from their district, or have property in their district. Anything to make it more personal.

You can do them all in less than 30 minutes. They are all very courteous. They may ask you pone number or address. It seems that with 7 of 13 calendars committee members as sponsors this thing should have some movement.

Please call. Thanks.
