State Building, corner of Congress and Granada
this is in protest of the bill passed out of committee yesterday, SB 1611, the Immigration Omnibus Bill that Man Eegee wrote about in his, as usual, excellent diary.
the protest is sponsored by Derechos Humanos and can use all the support we can give.
Even Republican groups are opposed to this travesty of an assault on the 14th Amendment to the Constitution
Phoenix, AZ – The largest Hispanic Republican organization in the nation is against SB 1611, a bill that Republican State Senator Russell Pearce has introduced without additional sponsor support. Pearce continues to shred the Constitution of the United States as he wastes tax payer resources in using the Senate floor to serve as a show room when introducing laws that have an overt disdain of our Constitution. If Pearce was a good steward of Arizona tax dollars, he would wait until the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has made their final decision in the failed bill he introduced last year because our state has already spent nearly $1.6 million on credit-card fees and legal bills for work through Nov. 30. The $1.6 million could have been applied to patients in Arizona who were cut from transplant list due to Arizona death panels and are dying
.
consider this an open thread to discuss the protest and please go give Man Eegee a tip and a rec for another job well done.
