I received this email from Senator Chambliss in reference to HB 21 today after I emailed several senators urging them to bring this to a vote. I thought the bill was favorable in the Senate Committee...




"I received a lot of input from both sides of this issue when this bill first came up two years ago. I weighed all of the information received and have opposed this bill since that time. The bill has failed on the Senate floor twice.



The bill failed in Senate Committee again this session by a 3-8 vote several weeks ago. The following week, the bill was on the agenda again at the very end of a 12 bill agenda. The chair came in and “voice-voted” the entire agenda and said that it was approved over the clear voices of the majority.



This is not right. It is anti-republic. It is clearly un-American! This underhanded tactic grew the opposition to the bill.



Obviously, this is not what you want to hear… but you deserve to know the details of what has gone on."
