    Quick turn-around, thanks!

    One does appreciate a speedy, individualized response:

    Dear Bastidge,

    Thank you for your correspondence and suggestions on changing the RCWs to waive the registration and renewal fees for members of the armed services. Currently there is no similar legislation in the works. I have forwarded your e-mail to Representative Lantz, the Chair of the Judiciary Committee, for her consideration. Legislation addressing your suggestions would come out of the Judiciary Committee.

    A similar type bill was introduced in the 2007 Legislative Session. HB 1126 would have waived the $10 late fee for concealed pistol license renewals for armed forces personnel who are serving outside the state when their license expired. It passed out of the House unanimously. It passed out of committee in the Senate but never received a vote.

    Thank you for contacting me with your ideas. Our system of democracy works because concerned citizens like you take the time to participate.

    Sincerely,

    Bill Fromhold
    State Representative
    49th Legislative District
    Phone: 360.786.7924
    E-Mail: Bill.Fromhold@leg.wa.gov
    Fax: 360.786.7018


    Our system of participatory government does work. The key term here is 'work'. It doesn't seek you out. People don't necessarily ask for your opinion. If you don't do your reseach, you look like an ignorant A-hole. If you don't bother to learn to spell (or at least use spell-check!), and express yourself clearly, you're marginalized.

    But it if you put some effort, people will take notice. (Even Democrats, sometimes.)No guarantees you'll get what you want, but you'll get a response.
