Call to Action (Extremely Urgent)

OFF THE WIRE
Donnie Landsman included below]
This email has just been released as a joint venture of ABATE of Washington, BOLT, COC/USDefenders of Washington and other Freedom Fighter groups in Washington.  Any involvement that any of you might be able to take is greatly appreciated.  Currently, our attempt at Repeal/Modification of the Helmet Law in Washington State is sitting dormant in the Senate Transportation Committee.  the testimony was well received and we do have enough votes in committee to pass it.  This Call-to-Action is the 'encourage' the members to put pressure on the committee co-Chairs (King and Eide) to 'exec' the bill so it can be voted on by the Full Senate.  
Thanks in advance for all of your help!! 
See below.  I do believe phone calls and email will be the most immediately effective however, can you imagine the looks on their faces when bags of mail is delivered to their offices?
This is the first of a series of letters we will be putting out over the next 12 days.  (If anyone would like to write one (short and to the point), feel free to submit it to me.  If I can use it, I certainly will!!)
Respectfully,
Mr. Breeze
ABATE Members, BOLT and Freedom Fighters,
 
See the call to action below and get the attached letter to all of the legislators on the list below.  
The letter was crafted as a joint of the Legislative Team leadership in Washington State.
Do not just print the attached, sign and mail it.  I also urge everyone to CALL AND EMAIL each and every one of the committee members. 
 
Currently, SB5143 is sitting in the Senate Transportation Committee and needs help so that it can be advanced to the Senate Floor for a vote. 
It is extremely important to make sure that you contact both Senator Eide (30th District) and Senator King (14th District).  This is especially important if you live in one of those districts. 
Together, they are the key to bringing the Helmet Repeal bill up for the committee vote.
 
DO NOT DELAY!  This is a crucial step to get the Helmet Law Repealed.
TIME IS CRITICAL.  YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION IS REQUIRED!!!
 
If you receive any feedback from any of the legislators, please forward the information to me at this email address.
 
Respectfully,
Donnie ‘Mr. Breeze’ Landsman
ABATE -  Legislative Affairs Officer
BOLT - Director
