They are in the Ag committee and with them we will have a better chance of killing this. Most of the no votes on the Delegate side were from Rural areas. We need to let them know what is going on. Please see my attachment that I have given each of the 40 senate offices. If you send an e-mai lit is IMPERATIVE that you follow up with a call . They get hundreds each day. I have had great success doing that!

FIVE ARGUMENTS AGAINST THIS BILL
Say NO to the Grease Police!
HB1322 is a legislation in search of a problem: What specific problem does this bill address?
1. This bill was written on behalf of Valley Proteins, which has a well-documented history of environmental violations. The state of Virginia as well as the EPA have cited Valley Proteins numerous times for regulatory violations. VP is in no position to demand that others submit to additional regulation when they consistently ignore the current laws.
2. Valley Proteins is concerned with grease theft. It is worth noting that there is no difference between theft of grease and theft. Existing laws adequately address property theft; there is no need for a super theft law that applies only to veggie oil. If people are stealing their grease then they should work with local law enforcement, not run to get a special interest law passed.
3. Very little input was afforded from affected citizens; no veg oil users, restaurant owners, nor BD producers were involved in drafting this legislation.
4. If Valley Proteins is losing grease from their barrels, , let them buy padlocks.
5. Who is going to enforce this? The Grease Police?

My dads health

Turns out my dad's finger surgery went well, but the post surgery is the problem. He almost died the past week because his surgeon refused to give it to him by IV. He was required to take it orally which over a series of related events led to his dehydration and acompanying superbug which attacked his kidneys and led to 18% operation of his kindeys (renal failure). He knew something was desperately wrong so he checked out of the hospital in moses lake against medical advice and got a ride 8 hours away to Seattle from a friend. They took him into the ER where they discovered his renal failure and admitted him to the hospital immediately.

You dear reader may see (between the lines) a possible reason for doctors to consider they patient's requests or to have a DAMN good reason for denying their spoken bodily needs.
