Representative Watson,

As the Charman of the House Judiciary Criminal Practices Sub-committee, you are in a position to control whether or not my voice is heard regarding pending legislation. While I do not live in your district, my representative, Ulysses Jones, will never be able to speak on my behalf should your sub-committee and subsequently the full committee do not pass bills on for consideration. So in this respect, you do have a responsibility to the whole citizenry of Tennessee.

With this said, it is my understanding that on Wednesday, March 10th, your sub-committee will be hearing a number of firearms related bills.

House bills, HB-0842, HB-1801, HB-2567, HB-3240, HB-3141, HB-2694, HB-2719, and HB-2726 are all bills that ask for your support on. House bills, HB-2694 and HB-3141 are of particular importance to me. HB-3141 would allow employees to keep their weapons in their car on employers parking lots is a major concern for me. If you recall, I spoke on two occasions last year, once at the sub-committee in April and then before the whole committee at the summer study in support of similiar legislation.

If my schedule allows, and I don't anticipate any conflict at this time, I do intend to travel to Nashville on March 10th to support these bills at this hearing. I ask for your support for these bills.

Thank you
Samuel L. Cooper

I wonder if Watson read it. He deleted mine with out reading it! If you use the "Request a Read Receipt" function it tell you if they delete your message before opening it...........ta

I always tell Outlook to ignore receipt requests, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[SubVetSS522]

I'll not hold my breath. So far Watson, Sontany and Overbey all have deleted my message with out reading it. If I hear from them I'm make certain to correct the record..........ta

Re: deleted with out reading

While I'm sure some messages are indeed deleted without being read, it's also possible that they have a reading pane turned on, which will display the body of the message, allowing much or all of it (if it's short) to be read. Doing so does not actually "open" the message, but it can be viewed, read, & acted upon.
