Saw this on another forum:

Michigan House Bill 5143 goes before committee Tuesday or Wednesday of next week and is expected to be voted by the following week.

The Brady Campaign has sent over 400 letters to legislators telling them this bill is bad for Michigan. They need to hear from you that this is good legislation. It has broad, bi-partisan support and can be sitting on the Governor’s desk if we let them know how important it is.

Please WRITE LETTERS. Phone calls are not that helpful because they can’t be carried to committee hearings. Emails will work, but the best thing is to hand write a letter. These cannot be deleted like email can. Either mail the letters or fax them, but get them out NOW so they reach in time. Write to both your Representative and Senator.

To write to the House:

Box 30014
Lansing, MI 48909-7514
house.michigan.gov/find_a_rep.asp

To write to the Senate:

Box 30036
Lansing, MI 48909-7536
senate.michigan.gov/SenatorInfo/find-your-senator.htm

Please forward this information on to as many people as you can, as we need to get a much more powerful response than the Brady Campaign did.
