Safe Commute bills about to be RUINED

[Sky King]

I just received an email with this link:

http://m.knoxnews.com/news/2012/mar/20/ ... -amend-it/

It reports how Mike Faulk, sponsor of SB3002 is apparently about to all his bill to be amended with MAJOR exceptions. For me, if these amendments pass, I will totally reverse myself and fight to defeat the bill entirely.

What I can not fathom is how people can possibly think that a fence around my employers lot has ANY effect on the circumstances in place during my commute. So much discussion has IMPROPERLY focused on how people are to defend themselves while AT work or on the employers parking lot. While this may be important for many but the MAIN goal has been to ensure a way to defend yourself during your commute, hence the name SAFE COMMUTE bill.

Well the past 24 hours has certainly been interesting. It appears that this is more of a case of the media getting things wrong, (imagine that) than our bill's sponsor selling us out.

According to Mike Faulk, the Knoxville account was in error and this report from a Nashville TV station is more accurate.

According to a TFA alert, this event cause over 4000 emails to go to the General Assembly. WAY TO GO! With that kind of response, if nothing else it lets them know we ARE watching.
