Conn. Gov. veto in-state tuition for illegals
Received this in an email this morning:
"America First 2008 Update
Jodi Rell, governor of the state of Connecticut, did the right thing and vetoed legislation giving illegal aliens in-state tuition rates. She said in a chamber of commerce meeting that she was receiving heat for vetoing the bill. But from a meeting I attended tonight in East Haven, I believe that the average citizen is grateful for someone finally taking a stand.
In the NY Times article, the Governor says, ""The fact remains, however, that these students and their parents are here illegally, and neither sympathy nor good intentions can ameliorate that fact." Well said.

You might give her office a call or send an email and thank her. Politicians get a lot of heat from every side of an issue, so when they do something right, a little support can only help us. (If you are from CA, AZ or other than CT, you might mention that you heard about this, and even though you are from out of state, you applaud her effort.)
