Several bills relating to firearms are set to be heard before the House Judiciary Committee on Criminal Affairs on 28th February 2023 at Room C-1, Stratton Building, Springfield, IL. This hearing is an opportunity to make your voice heard on these matters.
A brief explainer on Witness Slips
Before bills are voted on by the whole House of Representatives, they go to the appropriate committee, made of a smaller number of representatives, to determine whether or not they should go forward to the whole House. So, for example, if your bill is about infrastructure, it goes to the infrastructure committee.
Committees have hearings where Reps have the ability to present their bills to that Committee. Witness slips are one way that constituents can indicate their position on a certain piece of legislation at a hearing.

Please also contact your House Reps, especially if they are on the committee.

These heathens are piling these bills up faster than anything I’ve seen before. It makes you wonder whether or not, was this they’re plan all along? The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if there was a level of voter fraud so they could obtain the power needed to follow through on this plan? It makes me thankful that not all these judges are left leaning.
