HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted February 12, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Commander Bob, OK, I am understanding what you are writing, stop the debate, pernmanently kill pending matter, and get it going for the 2nd & 3rd reading. Am I on the right track? In the interim the more Co-Sponsors the better correct. Thank You Pete I belive if the bill gets tabled, it will never make it out of committee. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-motion-to-table.htm Edited February 12, 2009 by Commander Bob 92-93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putintime Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Commander Bob, I think I'm getting the hang of this. We "DO NOT" want anyone to "Motion to Table" but to stay in the Committee, keep getting Co-Sponsors, until all debate is complete, then, go through 2nd & 3rd reading in the House and move over to the Senate to start all over again!!! Am I goofy or am I getting close? Take Care, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted February 12, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) I wish I was more familiar with the rules and procedures of the Illinois legislative assembly. I am not. However, I would encourage you all to continue to gather more co-sponsors. I still believe that one person can make a difference. I'm looking forward to seeing this issue in the "Success Stories" Topic, here at Hadit. Edited February 12, 2009 by Commander Bob 92-93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putintime Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanxs Right now it is only three of us; (Grace, Al & I) that are letting all of the Illinois lawmakers know that we are watching them. If there are more Illinois veterans jumping in, let us know, we need all the help we can get. Everyday I learn more and more. If this becomes a success story I will be the first to write it, although Al has the talent in his literate penmanship. In college I would get papers back saying "wordy" now I try to use the "KISS" method "Keep It Simple Stupied" but the mind wanders. Take Care, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putintime Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 She's gone, went as Asst. DVA in Washington. I will say this when she was here in Illinois, much coorespondence was sent to her and not much of anything was done or documentated on what her accomplishment were while here.
