Announcing the Dustin Inman Society’s pro-enforcement “PICK A SIDE PROJECT”
CAMPAIGN TO MONITOR SUPPORT FOR GEORGIA ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION
HB 87 – the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011” Rep. Matt Ramsey
Dustin Inman Society president D.A. King announced today that DIS has begun a grassroots “PICK A SIDE PROJECT” to encourage every Republican member of the Georgia House of Representatives to sign on to HB 87, [2] the Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011” as a cosponsor in support of the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Matt Ramsey [3].
Established in 2005 with personal funds, the Dustin Inman Society proudly enjoys the support of thousands of multi-ethnic, working-class, voting Georgians who look for a better life in every district and county in Georgia. With the additional volunteer assistance of many members of various Tea Party groups, civic organizations and other pro-enforcement citizens, the goal will be to contact each state House member multiple times and request they sign on to HB 87 during the coming week with phone calls, email and visits to Gold Dome offices.
“Illegal immigration is a crime that costs Georgia innocent lives, jobs, benefits and is making a mockery of our rule of law while it drains our budget [4] and endangers our common language” said D.A. King. “Even the least aware observer can see that the crisis is a direct result of illegal employment and a lack of political will to protect everyday, taxpaying Georgians. Many powerful special interest groups will attempt to defeat or gut this bill. We will record who is on the side of We the People.”
The group says Rep. Matt Ramsey’s bill is a reasonable, and completely constitutional, legal and giant step forward in attacking illegal immigration and illegal employment. “Georgia led the way in solving the illegal immigration problem on the state level in 2006. This important legislation builds on existing law, both federal and state. The people have a right to know which legislators will show the courage and leadership to join Matt Ramsey and sign on to his bill. HB 87 has all the right enemies, including the ACLU and GMA [5]” King went on.
King also noted that there is no limit to the number of Representatives that are allowed to co-sign a bill and that his group will be tracking vocal support, cosigners and votes on HB 87 as part of a rating and voters guide for the 2012 state elections.
The “PICK A SIDE” project will continue on illegal immigration related legislation during the General Assembly session. Volunteers who want to help should contact King through the DIS Website or facebook page
HB 87 is scheduled for a first hearing (House Judiciary) on Friday, February 4, 2011.
