To all Arkansas Patriots,
The Capitol Gathering on Thursday was very successful. I know the weather (and working taxpayers) played a role in our numbers. I cannot thank enough those who braved the weather and the political climate to journey to the Capitol to support our efforts and to let the legislators know WE WANT/NEED REFORM. We were able to meet w/several legislators and make some new contacts as well. All in all, it was a very successful day.
We cannot rest though, and we still need your help. Rep. Sample's Immigration bill, HB1093, is currently in the Judiciary Committee in the House. According to Rep. Sample, it appears we have five (5) YES and five (5) probably NO votes. WE NEED 11 YES votes to move this bill out of committee for a floor vote - that means we have to convince at least 6 more to vote YES. Please review the list of legislators below that we need to contact in mass so we can convince them to join us in supporting this bill and moving this out of committee and to the House floor for a vote. Also we must call/email the Governor.
When you make calls or email, it does not need to be lengthy. Keep it simple and direct: If you choose to call, please leave a message - they need their "in box" filled with calls from their constituents. The House members/Governor will not be back at the Capitol until Wednesday, January 21, 2009.
Example:
"Hello, this is _________________. I am your constituent and I would appreciate you supporting HB1093 regarding Illegal Alien Reform for Arkansas."
Please make sure that you are a registered voter when you call/email - they will check to see if you are a voter.
