Randy,

Thanks for the update. We indeed have an ally in Senator Giffords. She has
been very thorough in keeping us informed of the bills progress. Lets keep
working together to see it through.

The good news is that Senate Bill 1218 passed today in the House, with only
one representative voting against it!  Even though I drove down to the
Capitol Building today to testify, due to my error, I did not connect with
the sponsor of this bill, Gabrielle Giffords, until the vote was being
taken, so I did not testify.  I did write an email a couple of days ago to
the committee members who were hearing this bill.

I will say that Ms. Giffords is certainly a great asset to the amateur
astronomer community!  She is looking out for our concerns to limit the
amount of light being directed into the night sky.  After hearing the
testimony presented today, there is definitely an education process needed
to get a lot of the other Senators to see how damaging unrestricted lighting
is to our skies.
