That plan failed as well.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/http:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/?p=4715\">an un-recorded hand vote<\/a> which keeps who voted which way secret from you, the super-majority GOP senate defeated that amendment by a vote of 27-16 on March 31, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Senator <a href=\"http:\/http:\/\/www.thedustininmansociety.org\/blog\/?p=4587\">Tommie Williams<\/a>, a South Georgia farmer and restaurant owner, served as leader of the other Republicans who voted with the Democrats against enforcement. The speeches were intentionally framed to omit the fact that <a href=\"http:\/http:\/\/www.nilc.org\/dapa&amp;daca.html\">Obama has expanded his amnesty<\/a> to include grown, adult illegal aliens and was always focused on \u201cfor the children\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The AJC, the Associated Press and most news services made sure this all stayed out of \u201cthe news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>It is imperative that you understand:<\/strong><\/em> This was done with an unrecorded hand vote after another unrecorded hand vote on whether to have the unrecorded vote. I was in the gallery and watched as only 4 senators voted to conduct a machine-counted, permanently recorded vote on consideration of the amendment offered by Senator McKoon.<\/p>\n<p>Even most of the co-sponsors of SB 6 were afraid to oppose the Establishment Republicans and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce by voting for a machine counted, recorded vote on giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens. Including my own Senator.<\/p>\n<p>I know which senators had the courage to demand a recorded vote.<\/p>\n<p>I also know that many of the co-sponsors &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/http:\/\/www.senate.ga.gov\/senators\/en-US\/member.aspx?Member=23&amp;Session=24\">including my own Senator<\/a> &#8211; signed on very reluctantly with the (correct) assumption that the bill would never be allowed out of committee and\/or there would never be a recorded vote.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/http:\/\/www.senate.ga.gov\/senators\/en-US\/member.aspx?Member=853&amp;Session=24\">One of the SB 6 co-sponsors<\/a> even voted against the amendment that would stopped illegal aliens from getting a Georgia driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ASK THEM YOURSELF<\/strong>: For educational purposes, I hope you will ask your own Republican state Senator if he voted for or against (or refused to even raise his\/her hand to vote) for a recorded machine vote on the March 31 McKoon amendment (#1) to HB 118 that would have stopped illegal aliens from getting a drivers license.<\/p>\n<p><strong>* More to come.
