SB 1070: Call NOW, vote is MONDAY

This via friends in the movement, about the piece of legislation designed to trump local soverignty in the pursuit of all the racists they can get to vote for them - that appears to be the main target audience - and constituency - of some legislators. Anyway, call this weekend and do some kind of visible action in resistance to the bill.

Please forward to your lists also...Thank you Here is a list of the Republican Senators who need to be called to vote NO on SB 1070, even if you just leave a message, please take a moment to call them! A group of us spent this morning at the State Legislature, we talked to four Republican Senators,all we need is 3 of them to vote no on SB 1070. One said she will definitely vote no, we only need 2 more... Two (Steve Pierce and Jay Tibshraeny) told us they were "undecided"....there is still time to help this bill die. Please take a moment to call, here is the list, all of them are Republicans.  Some possible talking points to these Republicans could be.... 1) The enormous cost to implement this law in a time of economic strife, cuts in education, we want taxes cut NOT increased because of this bill...   2) Public safety overall will be jeopardized with this bill as local law enforcement will be spending too much time on checking everyone's status rather than responding to emergencies.... 3) Incarceration of Parents of U.S. citizen children, will only lead to more people on the welfare system, for the rest of us to take care of.  There is actually a high number of US citizen children with undocumented parents- extracting the bread-winner from the family only puts more strain on the rest of us. THE LIST Jay Tibshraeny    602-926-4486   (told us he was undecided) Steve Pierce        602-926-5584  (told us he was undecided) Barbara Leff         602-926-4486 Linda Gray            602-926-3376 Al Melvin               602-926-4326 Ron Gould            602-926-4138 Jack Harper         602-926-4178 Sylvia Allen          602-926-5219 Jim Waring           602-926-4916 Bob Burns            602-926-5993 Chuck Gray           602-926-5288 John Huppenthal   602-926-5261 Thayer Verschoor 602-926-4136 Jonathon Paton     602-926-3235 John Nelson     602-926-5872  (I spoke with him in person, he said he knows it is not a good bill, but 70% of his constituents want him to vote yes on it - please call him and tell him you don't want it!)
