HB2648 Bring our LO's home

[Miss3s Grinch]

Just got this e-mail.... I will do whatever I can to make sure this house bill passes. Please pass this on to everyone....




Dear Friend of Criminal Justice Reform:

During the last few months I have received a number of petitions from change.org including your request, asking to revisit and approve Arizona’s HB2648. HB2648 was last year's version of a bill which I introduced, which would have established incentives for inmates to earn early release credits for good behavior. The bill died in committee last year.

I have re-introduced HB2648 this legislative session - it has a new number. The NEW bill number for this year is HB2521 community supervision; earned release credits. You can see the bill HYPERLINK "http://www.azleg.gov/DocumentsForBill.asp? Bill_Number=2521&Session_Id=107ℑ.x=7ℑ. y=7"here.

It has been assigned to the Military Affairs and Public Safety Committee (MAPS Committee). The Committee Chairman is Representative David Gowan. The Chairman has the power to decide whether or not a bill will be heard in his committee. If a chairman does not calendar a bill, it will die in committee and never even be heard by our representatives so they can decide for themselves the merits of a given bill. Gowan will need to decide in the next few days whether or not to hear this bill which has been assigned to his committee:

The Maps Committee meets every Wednesday, and its last day to hear bills will be on February 15. If it is not calendared before that last date, it will not be heard and it will "die in committee." PLEASE EMAIL TODAY and explain why this bill is important to you and why it should be heard.

Below are the names of those serving on the committee. I encourage you to advise these members, and particularly the chairman, of your interest in having this bill heard.

Thank you so much for posting this! There is also a petition at Change.org about this same bill. Sign and support !
I've sent my email and will get many others to also. Thank you again for another update! We should bombard them in every form possible !

[Mrs. Clark]

I sent my email last night. I have learned to be cautiously optimistic. I hope and pray every night but with the population of AZ I don't get my hopes up.

[GoingHomeSoon]

I feel the same way. It's heartwrenching though...

[Zenone]

I'm not from AZ however my b/f is in Sagfford Ft
Grant.
I wouldn't have the knowledge or patients to do it from my phone so if anyone wants to do one up for me let me know

[Miss3s Grinch]

I am drafting up an e mail tomorrow morning to send to the committee, and will post the draft so anyone could copy it and e mail it from their email address.

[GoingHomeSoon]

Many reps appreciate personalized emails over copied and pasted emails... I'm sorry. Both are good but personal seems to be more effective

You are absolutely right.... I just wanted the people who didnt have the time to compose an e mail to have something easy they could just copy, paste and send...

Many don't want it to pass. Please keep pushing forward regardless. That's how our ancestors get out of oppression. They didn't quit. Thank you.
