THANK YOU FOR SENDING YOUR APPEARANCE CARD – WITH UNITY COMES CHANGE,
We have a member representing FAC today in opposition of the SB 234, as is, and will strongly suggest an accurate definition of “a day”. Approximately 200 appearance cards will also be delivered to the meeting in opposition of SB 234, as is.
Senate Bill 234 will be heard by the Senate Rules Committee this Thursday, March 4, 2021 at 9:00-11:00 A.M.
This bill will redefine the meaning of “day” to include “part of any calendar day”. FAC has submitted a letter in opposition to the Bill which you can read here: Letter to Rules RE SB234. Additionally, we plan to have a member speak before the meeting.
We are calling on all members to contact the members of the Senate Rules Committee by calling and emailing them via the information below, and asking them to OPPOSE SB 234. Please remember to be polite and professional. Remember, they (absent Senator Book) were not the one introducing this bill, they are considering it, so be mindful of that when communicating with them.

Hackney:
You can’t negotiate with terrorists. She’s only in office because she has yet to face any competition at the polls. Surely, someone must want her seat. It’s only a matter of finding a viable candidate to replace her even if that candidate is a Q’Anon republican. Believe me, if Trump ran against her, I would vote for Trump.
Another way to look at it is that you have X number of days until the end of your probation. If they require you to count portions of a day as a full day, you should be able to take the full number of those “extra” days off of the back end of your probation and, if they are making you claim to have spent the full day at the Circle-K because you went in for two minutes & bought a Slushie drink, they should be made to count those extra days as served per the terms of your probation, & be forced to restore your full freedom at an earlier date…

I like the way you think. Having said that, it is like the saying “Do as I say not as a I do” mentality.
They twist the laws and rules to be in their favor, as they see fit.
Another saying is “With great power comes great responsibilty”. Unfortunately, that responsibilty and power is often abused, taken advantage of and misused for personal gain.
I am disgusted but not shocked at the actions of the FloriDUH legislature.
I hate FloriDUH so much, I go out of my way NOT to willingly buy any item made in FlorDUH. Even when I did Christmas at the Camp a few years back, I brought the giveaway items from Ohio because I did not want to contribute to the local economy.
I cheer any time FloriDUH sports teams lose. I laugh at the latest “Florida Man” stories. Is this all petty? You bet it is. But I have never been more disgusted at the actions of an entire state than I am at the land of ‘Duh.
I have never seen a more disgusting group of heartless “human beings” (and I am being generous here) than the FloriDUH legislature.
While you folks were in the FloriDUH legislature, I was in the Nebraska doing something I have never done before– testifying in support of a bill that eases restrictions (even if only slightly). It is a nice change of pace from what we are normally doing. Until the Floriduh legislature starts doing the same, I will continue to be petty.

There is one thing that I think brings Democrats and Republicans together, and that is sex offenders and registration laws. We saw this when the law was passed allowing ex felons to vote. Purposely leaving out (ex) sex offenders.
Are we going to feel people up in the waiting line? Are we going to expose ourselves in the voting booths? Are they afraid there are enough of us to vote away the registry?
Lastly, what happened to those pieces of paper formerly known as the Constitution and the Bill of rights?
I would say at this point to try to work WITH her not against her. She wields too much power to sctew with obviously, so I would say “try negotiating”
The only way to negotiate with a fascist is with them face up against a red stained wall. Their day is coming.
Nobody is going to be face up against a red stained wall. Not in my fucking state.
AMEN AMEN AMEN!
It is war
There is no way to negotiate with a terrorist, Hackney.
Ever seen the movie Independence Day? Book is the captured alien. What does she wants us to do? DIE.
Or trick her into taking us to court, as OnceFallen has demonstrated successfully.
Even the example Sen Book provided— that of a permanent residence— will be changed considerably by this bill, won’t it?
Under the the current definition, as typically understood, you may check into a hotel after 3 on Friday and check out noon Monday— three nights, but not three full days— without being required to register the hotel.
But under the proposed new definition, two nights, not three, would be the limit. If you checked in Friday and stayed the weekend, then any part of the following Monday would count as a day towards “three or more days!”
Am I computing this accurately?
Something to keep in mind for hurricane evacuations, hospitalization, etc.
THANK YOU LAURA
So, we can be in multiple places for “1 day” each and yet only 1 calendar day elapses? I can be at a hotel for a “day”, at a restaurant for a “day”, at a bar for a “day” all concurrently? I can see this backfiring in that if i leave the hotel and was at a restaurant for a “day”, then i couldn’t possibly be somewhere/anywhere else in that calendar day. Unless there is time travel involved, i can’t spend two or more days in two or more places and only have one calendar elapse. Just not possible. Has any one else viewed it from this perspective?
So, we could register a restaurant for three days and not the hotel. Or, we could determine that Monday we were at Denny’s, Tuesday at IHOP, Wednesday at the Pilot gas station, and Thursday at McDonald’s. Since our days are accounted for, we’d wouldn’t need to register anything else because this new definition of a day lets us account for a whole day with any one of the places we may be that day. Seriously, this is a huge hole in Lauren Books plan.

This can be beat in court by denying we were anywhere they say. I can say, “Was I at the beach? Was I at the mall? Was I at church that day? “The prosecutor will answer no. I will say, “Well if I was not at those, places, I must have been somewhere else. AND, if I was somewhere else, I could not have been where you accused me of being!”
Legal loophole, beat them at their own game(s) they play 🙂
I am not stupid and know that would not work, but that is the crap they pull on us AND get away with. The law/courts is/are so one sided.
These MFers are crooked! They twist the truth.
We ought to use their own tactics against them – spin and lies!!
They have all the morals of a family of weasels.
They deserve that bloody wall (see above) in my opinion.
For, we who have sinned did so by mistake. Their hatred and dishonesty is deliberate!
They declared war on us. We are naive and foolish if we can’t see that it is war, and no less!
