Help Kill Texas Senate Bill 1390 on Fireworks

If you have a phone and a Texas address, we ask that you make phone calls to help kill SB 1390. This bill would allow the counties to bypass the governor’s extension when banning fireworks.  Please, Texas residents only.

Now is the time to make phone calls to the Senators on the IGR committee asking them to vote NO on SB 1390, which is the one being heard on Weds. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE PHONE CALLS ON TUESDAY 3/31/2009! That’s our only day.

Please call them and politely ask their offices to vote NO on SB 1390 when it’s heard on Wednesday. They’ll ask your name and address. Give it to them.

Please ask your people, operators, friends, frenemies, family to do it as well.

Rain!

The San Antonio area is finally getting some much needed rain.  A good start and here’s hoping we’ll be open and selling fireworks in South Texas this July season!  Let’s hope things continue and there won’t be a cause for any bans of fireworks at all.
