Day 31: Oppose Anti-Immigrant Bill HB125. CALL/EMAIL/LOBBY/SIGN PETITION to the Georgia Senate

Monday 03/11/2013. Thirty-First Day at the Georgia Legislative Session. As we mentioned before, anti-immigrant HB125 passed the plenary of the House last week. There are 10 more legislative days in which the bills that made CrossOver can be approved by the other chamber. Ergo, we are going to see HB125 in the Senate, first, at the Judiciary Non-Civil Committee. These are some actions against the bill.

1. CALL/EMAIL/LOBBY the Lt. Governor and Senators specially members of the Judiciary Non-Civil Committee of the Georgia Senate. Urge them to OPPOSE to HB125.

Lt. Governor Casey Cagle (404) 656-5030

Sen. Jeff Mullis, Rules Committee Chairman (404) 656-0057Sen. Jesse Stone, Chairman Senate Judiciary Non-Civil (404) 463-1314
Sen. William Ligon, Jr., Vice Chair (404) 656-0045
Sen. Curt Thompson, Secretary (404) 463-1318
Sen. Josh McKoon, Ex-Officio (404) 463-3931
Sen. Charlie Bethel, Member (404) 651-7738
Sen. John Crosby, Member (404) 463-5258
Sen. Vincent Fort, Member (404) 656-5091
Sen. Hunter Hill, Member (404) 463-2518
Sen. Ron Ramsey, Sr., Member (404) 463-2598

This committee reconvenes this Wednesday 03/13 at 3pm at the CLOB room 307. Although there is no agenda for this meeting yet, there is a strong possibility they are going to review HB125. Be ready.

2. Also,our friends of the ACLU are using their lobby day of tomorrow Tuesday March 12th to work against HB125. This is a great opportunity to lobby against HB125.

3.   Sign and blast far and wide this petition against HB 125.

4.   Support SB160. This is a tricky one though. The current version SB 160/CSFA/2 is a good one, ergo worth support. However, SB160 is been referred to the very same committee that high jacked HB125, and made it what it is now. So we need to be cautious to what comes out of this committee.
