Legistlature events and updates

There is a lot going on at the State Capitol!

We did a lot of planning with the the Eagle Forum Event at the State Capitol. There are several issues that the Eagle Forum is planning to deal with, including illegal immigration.

HB1024 is on the agenda for the House Committee on Public Health, Welfare and
Labor. On Tuesday Jan 16th, the bill was tabled so that nobody would vote on the bill. On Tuesday January 22nd, Rick Green will introduce the bill again. Eagle Forum is preparing to lobby for this bill and we're going to need help from every conservative! Here is the plan for passing HB1024:

Friday 1/19- We need to call the Committee that the bill is being introduced to. Betsy Hagan suggested that we poll them to get a yes/no on how they will vote and then inform them that you want HB1024 to pass. Most activist agree that phone calls are very effective in lobbying.

Monday 1/22- The Eagle Forum will be lobbying at the State Capitol and needs as many people there as possible. They will meet in front of the Arkansas House of Representatives at the State Capitol (2nd floor) at around 1:00pm. We will then hunt down the Committee members and talk to them in person!

Tuesday 1/23- Rick Green stated that he will introduce HB1024 again. This time, we will want a conservative presence in the Committee room. The details of the committee are below:
