So, in true democratic fashion, us the constituents need to email or phone our state reps and senators. Here is a good gov't site in case you don't know who that is or if you need their contact information:

Now, send an email stating you hope they vote against this proposed bill i.e. - be active vs. passive!

Here's my email, feel free to cut and past if you want.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm writing as constituent within your district for support in voting NO to Proposed Bill No. 5700. Bill 5700 proposes a 50% increase in tax on ammunition. I am unaware of other sports, hobbies or recreational activities which warrant such an exorbitant and punitive tax increase. For correlation, would a 50% tax increase on painting supplies or baseball gloves be justifiable? If your answer is no, then you understand my point. Further, I feel as though a tax increase may ultimately harm the State of CT as savvy gun owners will look to purchase ammo in neighboring states (RI, MA, NY) or engage with mail ordering houses so as to bypass this onerous tax altogether.

Please, I'd ask you to use common sense and vote NO to Bill No. 5700.



So, that's about all we can do to help defeat the nonsense!
