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.

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.
