Wrap-up of the legislative session that ended on March 24.

We worked hard for two bills, SB6 and SR 675. Both bills were sponsored by Republican state Senator Josh McKoon, of Columbus.

Please call to leave a message at Senator McKoon’s office to say “Thank-you!” Phone: (404) 463-3931

SB6 would have changed the Georgia drivers license Governor Deal’s administration has issued to about 22,000 illegal aliens who have been given work permits and Social Security numbers by Obama. Currently, Governor Deal is giving these still-illegal illegal aliens the same drivers license given to families of foreign diplomats and legal visa holders like Mercedes Benz executives. Illegal aliens can use these drivers licenses to board airliners and rent cars and trucks as well as to enter federal buildings. PASSED THE SENATE, DID NOT SEE A VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE. * A stronger version of SB6 polled at more than 60% public approval (Q-4).

SR675 would have allowed all Georgia voters to answer a ballot question when we vote for president in November on whether or not to amend the state constitution to make English the official language of government in Georgia. There is currently a 1996 law on the books that says English is the official language of Georgia – it is weak, meaningless and mostly ignored. It clearly says that “State agencies, counties, municipal corporations, and political subdivisions of this state are authorized to use or to print official documents and forms in languages other than the official language, at the discretion of their governing authorities.” PASSED THE SENATE, DID NOT SEE A VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE.  * SR675 polled at 76% public approval and had the votes to pass the full House.

Currently, Governor Deal’s administration is not only giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens but also offering the written drivers license exam in eleven languages.

In Mexico, no illegal aliens are allowed to obtain any type of drivers license. Repeat: Right now, about 22,000 illegal aliens have a Georgia drivers license.

Both bills were killed in the Republican House by Republican Speaker of the House, David Ralston because of his dislike for, and public feud with, Senator McKoon.

You can see how Ralston killed SR 675 used his willing underboss, Judiciary Chairman GOP Rep. Wendell Willard HERE. On SB 6, Speaker Ralston simply told the Public Safety and Homeland Security committee chairman to not hold a hearing.

Shorter: You will not be allowed to vote on English as the constitutional official language of Georgia government in November and screaming, angry illegal aliens will continue to get a Georgia drivers license that is exactly like the ones given to legal visa holders because of vindictive, petty, pay-back politics practiced by Republican Speaker of the Georgia House, David Ralston.

P.S Republican Speaker David Ralston has turned his back on conservatives on this and given the corporate-funded anti-borders, illegal alien lobby a needless win. They are ecstatic.
