SB799, the in-state tuition for illegal aliens bill, has been Recommended for study in the Interim Committee on Education. This is a nice way saying that the bill is dead! Our latest intel indicated that it needed 2 more Senate votes before it could go to the House and then the Governor. We're pretty sure that neither the House nor Governor Beebe would have passed this bill, but by killing this bill in the Senate, we have sent a message to everyone that Arkansas will not support another bailout to the neglected citizens of other countries.We only got 1 bill passed that made a partial effort to reform illegal immigration. The resolution to remove Arkansas from the Constitutional Convention and the State's Rights Resolution both failed. While we stopped SB799, we were unable to stop a bill that creates a racial profiling taskforce. This taskforce will be appointed by the Governor and will have to include at least 3 members who are from "Civil Rights" organizations.
The legislative session is over until next year which will be a budget session. We now have to work on the Tea Parties, fundraising for conservative issues, contacting the Federal Government, lobbying in city government, and working on a ballot initiative. I would like to thank all of the activist who contacted the Arkansas Congress and helped out in carrying our agenda.
