Committee Staffs (4.00 / 2)

In most cases, by the time a Bill hits the floor it's too late.
Cultivate a staffer or 2 on each Committee of interest.
Once a bill goes to Conference things get tougher, as only the Conference appointees and their stafsf have access to revisions.

This is a test of the Emergency Free Speech System.
This is only a test.
If this had been an actual emergency, I'd already be locked up.

  This is definitely true, when it comes to making substantive changes to legislation.
  Right now, that's probably not a realistic goal, though. Still, you never give up on it entirely.
  My thinking was more along the lines of strategy for the floor action, and how to play the cards we're dealt for the benefit of the viewing audience.
