ACTION NEEDED THIS LAST WEEK OF SESSION TO PASS HOUSE VERSION OF HB 87

This is it. Crunch time. Today (April 11) is day 38 of the forty day legislative session. The General Assembly is in session tomorrow and the last day will be Thursday.

The segment of the Republican controlled legislature that opposes enforcement of our immigration laws and is helping the business lobby that hires the illegals while Americans stand in unemployment lines has been successful in stalling until this last week. The bill to save jobs for Georgians will not get any YES votes in the senate from Democrats.

Their hope is that the HOUSE VERSION of HB 87 can be stalled in the Senate a little longer and that we will then accept the excuse that “we just ran out of time.” Note: the version of HB 87 that came out of the Senate Judiciary committee is unacceptable. The Chairman there altered the E-Verify section to create exceptions for most Georgia businesses – including agriculture (more on that after session) . WE MUST PASS THE HOUSE VERSION OF HB 87!

Or… there may be an attempt to pass a watered down bill to make it appear to the unaware that some real, effective enforcement bill has been passed. We must have E-Verify for all industries in the bill to stop illegal hiring because that is the root cause of illegal immigration. WE MUST PASS THE HOUSE VERSION OF HB 87!

There is no excuse for not sending Rep. Matt Ramsey’s bill to the governor’s desk before midnight Thursday. We will not forget what happens this week.

ACTION NEEDED: What we need now, in this last week is for all of Georgia to call, fax and email the Lt. Governor’s office, the President Pro Tem of the senate, Tommie Williams, and your own GOP state senator with a simple message.

“We are watching what happens in the Capitol and there will be no acceptable excuse for any failure to agree and pass the HOUSE VERSION OF REP. RAMSEY’S HB 87…please get the bill to the governor as the majority of us depend on you to protect us…”

Please call and email before lunch and after lunch each day until the bill is acted on. We must make it politically impossible to not pass this important legislation. We must make ourselves more feared than the Chamber of Commerce and the Farm Bureau or we will become Georgiafornia and our children will ask us why we didn’t do something to stop the madness.

Save jobs for Georgians. Please call and email now.
