Call Today to Fight SB 6
Senate Bill 6, an anti-immigrant bill similar to one recently passed in Arizona, was just diverted to the House Local Government Committee and will have hearings on Wednesday, February 2nd and 9th.
This committee shift is unexpected and we want to get as many people to call the legislative message hotline as possible TODAY so that legislators will actually receive the messages before their committee meeting.
Call 1-800-372-7181 before 11pm tonight and leave a message for "all members of the House Local Government Committee." A simple message like "please vote against SB 6" works fine.
If you live in the district of one of the legislators on the committee, it would be even better to send a more personal message by calling their office directly, etc. The list of committee members is below.
Rep. Steve Riggs (Chair)
Rep. Mike Denham
Rep. Adam Koenig
Rep. Michael Meredith
Rep. Jim Wayne
Rep. Ron Crimm
Rep. Ted Edmonds
Rep. Richard Henderson
Rep. Brent Housman
Rep. Stan Lee
Rep. Tom McKee
Rep. David Osborne
Rep. Julie Raque Adams
Rep. Arnold Simpson
Rep. Kevin Sinnette
Rep. Rita Smart
Rep. Ben Waide
If you can, please also come out on Wednesday at noon to the Capitol Annex in Frankfort for the actual hearing. Having plenty of supporters of immigrants rights in the room will make an impression on legislators.
We need a constant steam of calls and actions over the next 9 days, but calling today would be especially useful. Please circulate this widely!
Please visit our earlier blog entry for background information, as well as a report from a planning meeting a few weeks ago.
