Stop with the Fred Maslack Emails Already

Fred Maslack is not a current member of the VT legislature.

Here: See for yourself.

Please stop forwarding the email about him introducing a bill requiring gun ownership. You'll notice they never actually come with a bill number and a link?

I heard such a bill was introduced a while back, but you couldn't prove it by me.

It's kind of like that damned SB 2099 HR 45 email that keeps urging us to SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. And it seems they're always sent by people clueless as to "BCC," so a "reply to all" delights us all. Not to mention provides a convenient cherry picking resource for spammers, especially as forwards accrue more edresses...

We have real efforts required of us. We can't afford to waste time and energy.

David,
Thanks for the info I just received the email about Maslack. I was going to post an article on our website
http://rednecksforamericans.com
but decided to check it out. It is hard to believe so many people fall for this kind of stuff or that they would even start it in the first place. I will be checking on some of your other posts.

This article was posted in the Boston Globe Newspaper back in 2000. Looks like it may be legit but just old news.


It refers to "House bill 760 would require residents over 18 who do not own guns to register with the secretary of state's office and pay a $500 penalty.

Hot on its heels was House bill 763, also introduced Friday, which would make military training a prerequisite for a high school diploma in the state"

Vt House Bill number 760, introduced in the 1999-2000 session.
Went nowhere. No co-sponsors.
But it was introduced, drafted, and assigned a bill number.
