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
