ABATE of Florida's Stiffer Penalties Bill's Progress in the Florida Senate (SB608)

SB 608 continues to roll through the Senate as it passes the Senate Criminal Justice Committee with a vote of 5 – 0. ABATE of Florida's Lobbyist recently testified again before the committee. You can listen to the pod-cast of the meeting at http://www.flsenate.gov/Committees/Show/CJ; click on the pod cast link for the 3/22/2011 meeting. Our Bill comes up at the 1 hour and 9 minute mark in the program, so you may just skip to that section if you wish.
Doc said that the Senators commented that they have received HUNDREDS of calls from ABATE members about this bill. Our voice is being heard in the Senate and we thank each one of you that have called and/or sent an e-mail to the legislators. We have to keep this ball rolling until our Bill finally passes.
After that, we can start calling the Governor!!!
SB 608 will now be heard in the Senate Budget Committee. This committee is HUGE with 20 Senators sitting on it, so there is a good chance that your Senator will be on this one. As you know, a constituent calling to ask for support carries a little more weight.
Here are the Members of the Senate Budget Committee. Let's let them hear our voice!!!
