Just TWO. Me and George Wilmot. Ellen, Immediately upon hearing about this bill last Friday, I wrote three letters to the three delegates representing me who had email accounts listed on the Web page Leslie Fisher (?) provided with her message. Yes, I didn't testify, but I wrote, and I passed the message on to people I thought would be opposed to Sunday hunting. I know that's not the same as testifying, but my office schedule didn't permit me to easily take most of the day off to testify.
