[IBU] FW: Lift the Limit Links

[Sabus, Brian]

We made the first funnel; now we just need to make sure we keep moving
along.

 

Another piece of advice I received from Steve was to make sure we have
some talking points prepared. If this makes it far enough, it will be
reported on which will raise the eyebrows of some special interest
groups.  We need to be prepared to address any concerns they may have.

It was Rep. Zirkelbach who mentioned the funnel deadline. For those who
are not familiar with the Iowa legislatures funnel provisions they got
tired of never concluding their sessions on time and established this
set of protocols several sessions back. Essentially a series of hurdles
are set for all legislation. Each hurdle has a deadline and if
legislation has not cleared each hurdle by the deadline it dies for this
session. Thus a lack of progress can kill legislation rather than
requiring being voted down or tabled by a committee or the full
legislature.

	There is no national Lift the Limit effort. The lift the limit
website that Mike England originally started does live on in a needing
attention form at www.liftthelimit.org

	 

	North Carolina was successful in lifting their limit and there
is information available at www.popthecap.org and especially at
http://www.popthecap.org/?page_id=2 for the history of what they did.

	 

	Alabama is working hard to lift their limit: see
www.freethehops.org

	 

	Anyone that has actually talked and/or gotten responses from
their legislators please let me know. I'd like to compile information to
co-ordinate with what has turned out to be a not very effective effort
on my part for the Iowa Brewers Guild (our Professional brewers special
interest group).

	 

	Who was it that recently said there was a "funnel" deadline last
week for legislation?

	 

	Dave

	Is there a national Lift the Limit effort?  If so, anyone have a
link?  If not, what are the best state Lift the Limit sites?  I am
asking because I receive a reply from my State Representative from my
Lift the Limit email.  She seems very positive and potentially helpful
to our cause.  I would like to incorporate these links into a follow up
email.

	 

	Also, I seem to remember reading or hearing something about a
second brewery (besides Millstream) in Iowa.  Can anyone confirm this
and provide information if this is correct?

	 

	PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take ten minutes to identify and contact
your State Senator and State Representative about Lifting the Limit in
Iowa.  All the information you need is at teh IBU website,
www.iowabrewersunion.org <http://www.iowabrewersunion.org/> . You can
copy the letter verbatim, just change the signature.  We have some
momentum, let's build on it and get the limit raised.

	 

	Anyone with contacts to other Iowa home brew clubs, please get
them involved.

	 

	Cheers,

	Randle
