cancelled due to budget deliberations:

legislative hearings on hb 1393 house majority policy committee
previously set for september 2
will be rescheduled in september or october

UPDATE:

Chuck was over to Harrisburg today and learned that the budget has verbally passed, but the mechanics of it will be another 10 days to 2 weeks. He'll go back over then because they STILL won't make appointments.

UPCOMING EVENT:

On Monday September 21, I will be going over to the Capital to check out the situation since the budget has now been settled. My objective is to begin scheduling appointments to go lobby and need assistance from anyone who would like to learn how to lobby. I am planning to be there 3 - 4 days a week through next March until I have personally met with every Legislator. If you are interested in joining me please feel free to call or email.
