Thanks to all those that turned out. Especially the ones who got there early and stapled and sorted and stapled and sorted and stapled and sorted and.........

Nice putting some faces to the names.

The cookies were fantastic.

And a big thank you to the 5 or 6 Republicans that actually listened to us and care.

To all the democrats that didn't listen to us, we'll see SOME OF you next year.

FIFY

Exactly. Now it's time for the REAL work that lies ahead.

Time to shift gears (while keeping one eye on follow up activity on legislation) and start working on precisely that.

I just checked the file back. It's a whopping 10 hours and 15 minutes long. SNI jumping in after the crazy cat lady is classic.

My stream must've been behind when I was watching, it closed while cat lady was still going. I'm gonna have to watch the recording.

Yes... time to fire up the DINO Machine.

Anyone else hear that crossover was moved up to the 17th???

Wonder how that will affect things?

After she shuts up, SNI jumps in, but the feed only goes for another few seconds.

Are there more 2A related bills being heard today? I got an amail from Cardin about HB42 being on tap for today.

HB42 was heard yesterday with the other 29 bills.

Don't get me started on that wench. When she announced her name preceding her ridiculous tirade, my blood pressure jumped about 150 points.

Before it all went down.... She and I were over at the table jockeying for last position, and Vallario set it up so she did the clean up. Shows up just before it's over, ranting and raving about not getting her way.

I knew she was bad news the first time she came on my radar last May. I spoke to her on the phone when she "took on" that referendum effort. All of my suspicions were confirmed last night.

Your body language is quite clear in the video, haha. I was yelling at the screen watching her.

Good to meet some MDS members face-to-face. SNI, thanks for answering my procedural questions.

I encountered the crazy referendum-lady in the lobby prior to her rant. She was very wound-up about how we were being manipulated by special-interest groups like MSI, and about how referendum was THE ONE TRUE SOLUTION. If she was Dumais' plant, attempting to leave the Committee with a particular opinion, she failed. The ranting diatribe was incoherent and all over the place. "We wouldn't be here if MSI and NRA hadn't subverted my precious referendum effort" was completely off-topic (pointed out by both Hough and Smigiel.) Even Vallario was annoyed. Then commenting that is was unusual for Chairman Vallerio to be so considerate and respectful was a backhanded slap (probably wasn't what she meant ... oops.) Interesting close, but way too meandering to be considered a solid presentation.

I can't get the video going here... was it Ellen Gormley (or whatever-the-hyphen her name is)? Doesn't seem like it from the descriptions.

If so, she's not only a member of Vinny's Vajayjays, but also a spokeswhore for Frosh.

I seem to recall her name was "Sue Payne", but correct me if I am wrong. Pretty sure R&R got it in his keyboard shorthand.

I originally mistook her for the "Crazy Cat Lady" from last years hearings. It';s been pointed out that she's not the same person, as the real CCL I remember to be far more incoherent, if one can imagine...

Middle age disgruntled white cat woman who stayed up late past her bed time and forgot to take her meds,?

Lol

Beat me to it, I was just about to post the same article.

If this was the heavyset lady with the sunglasses, she was sitting with a bunch of us in the gallery for awhile. She would come and go. I'll give her credit for one thing. If that was her, she stuck it out till the end!! On the other hand if she stayed there that long just to be the last one.......crazy cat lady is VERY fitting.

Let's rewind and review how that referendum thing went down.

Neil Parrot plans a press conference in LATE April to announce the effort. Holds the press conference and says he is not going to shepherd the effort. Ms. Nasty enters the scene. Has only a few days to the filing date of May 1. Announces, she'll do it, but she is not willing to go the distance, but takes the ball off the field. What???

Keeps talking about the advantage of the referendum is to keep buying. What???

She does EVERYTHING wrong, even goes to republican campaign events in May, stands outside ranting and raving about how they aren't helping her. Gets on the radio shows trashing the firearms community week in and week out while the effort goes down in flames.

If there were ever a poster child for who you do NOT want fostering your cause, she would be it.

Last night was the icing on the cake.

 

[DC-W]

Yup. Sue Payne.
