Ellen,

Sharon and I also wrote to our Delegate and State Senator.  We recieved an email
back from one and a voice mail from another - both saying that they would vote 
against any bill to allow Sunday hunting.

While we couldn't make it to Annapolis, we thought that this was the best we 
could do under the circumstances.

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.
     
Best,
