Arkansas Bill Update!
HB1205 The Arkansas Water Additive Accountability Act will be brought before the House Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee Tuesday Feb 1st at 10am in room 130. This is a Secure Arkansas supported bill and the most important to deal with for this week! The Committee Agenda is below, followed by a description of what HB1205 will do.

HB1205 is critical for the health and welfare of the citizens of Arkansas. HB1205 could be one of the most important bills filed this session. Secure Arkansas backs this bill wholeheartedly and needs your help to get it passed.
This bill circumvents rhetoric and endorsements and goes directly to accountability for the water/people treatment product delivered. In recent years there had been many inconsistencies about the contents of the products currently used for the treatment of tooth decay via the water supply. We believe that consumers have the right to know what a product contains, whether it is safe for all to consume and where it came from. Disclosure of content, contamination and origin are essential for us to have any confidence in chemicals being added to our water for treatment of any disease. HB1205 will insure that the regulations of Standard 60 (FEDERAL and STATE laws) be followed exactly. In short, it lets the facts declare themselves.
___________________________________________
Continue to support HB1008, the proof of citizenship for in-state tuition bill, it has been tabled pending information from The Department of Higher Education.
______________
Secure Arkansas has already had some success in blocking bad bills. SB3, a bill that would require translators for certain jobs was pulled! We are still keeping an eye on the sustainable development bills, but Denny Altes has promised to pull down those bills after pressure from Secure Arkansas.

In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens Fight
HB1008, a bill that would require proof of citizenship was debated before the Education Committee on January 27th, 2011. Several people spoke for and against the bill. The Department of Higher Education was supposed to give detailed information on a memo sent months ago about students who's enrollment had been flagged as possibly being fraudulent. The Head of the Department of Education, former Democrat Senator Shane Broadway, failed to provide that information. Below are some youtube videos that highlight important events of the Committee hearing.

From an email-
We the Tea Party need your presence tomorrow, Wednesday, January 26th at the State Capitol at 9:30 am- Room 151
www.arkleg.state.ar.us/assembly/2009/R/Pages/CommitteeDetail
You can call the House Floor at 501-682-6211
and send a message to this committee members
HB 1013 is NOT what it is appears to be!!
It's just an Anti-Contractor bill to try and advance the Union advantage.
We are a Right to Work state.
This bill doesn't really care about illegal aliens, they just want to force contractors to be liable for other people's employees (i.e. subcontractors, a seperate legal entity)
Contractors are already responsible for hiring their own legall labor.
The bill is backed by the IBEW... the Union that was the muscle for Obama... think they are all about stopping illegal immigrants?????
The only emails we've gotten FOR the bill have come from organized labor.
This bill is really about furthering the Union's Hold over our Job force.

Arkansas Obamacare Fight and State of the Union Speech!
HB1053, The Arkansas Freedom in Choice Bill was presented to the Arkansas House Committee on Public Health, Welfare and Labor. HB1053 would have allowed Arkansas citizens to be exempt from the individual mandate rule in Obamacare. The Committee is one of the most liberal in this Arkansas Legislative Session, with 15 Democrats and only 5 Republicans. Here is the complete roll call vote of Representatives who voted for HB1053 with their party affiliation and state districts in(); Woods, Jon (R-93)/ King, Bryan B. (R-91)/ Lea, Andrea (R-68)/ Malone Stephanie (R-64)/ Mayberry, Andy (R-27), and 2 Democrats; Wardlaw, Jeff (D-8) and Lampkin, Sheilla E. (D-10).
Here is the roll call vote of Representatives that voted against HB1053; Allen, Fred (D-33)/Gaskill, Billy (D-78)/Hall, Clark (D-13)/Hyde, Barry (D-40)/Leding, Greg (D-92)/Lovell, Buddy (D-56)/Pennartz, Tracy (D-65)/Perry, Mark (D-44)/Smith, Garry L. (D-7)/Wagner, Charolette (D-77)/Wilkins, Butch (D-74)/ and Word, James L. (D-16). Committee Chairman Tyler, Linda S. (D-45), refused to vote.
Many people had signed up to testify, but the liberal committee limited public comments to only 30 minutes for both sides after a proposal was made by Barry Hyde. This denied many people who wanted to speak both for and against the bill the chance to speak. Some of the most interesting videos are below. The rest are on the youtube account: keeparkansaslegal

Several States have already passed measures to force illegal aliens out. Probably the best was Missouri. As new conservative state legislators are sworn in across the country, more immigration reform bills will be passed while bills that reward illegal aliens will be blocked.
