Alert - California Driver's License Bill Hearing On April 18th
Please Contact Your State Senator Today


The California Senate Transportation and Housing Committee will vote Tuesday, April 18th on SB 1160 introduced by Senator Gil Cedillo, which would allow illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses.

Please call the committee members listed below to express your opposition to this legislation Despite six failed attempts over the past seven years, "One Bill Gil" Cedillo re-introduced this legislation that is identical to last year's SB 60, and which Gov. Schwarzenegger vetoed in October.

A representative from CAPS will be at the hearing in Sacramento to testify against this legislation and state that Californians are opposed to illegal immigration and giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Your calls can help reinforce the message that this bill is unacceptable.

PLEASE ACT NOW.

Please send a fax or email to your state Senator by entering your ZIP Code in the "Go" box below.

Also please call the Transportation Committee members now through Tuesday morning. It is especially important to call your Senator if you live in the district of one of the Committee members listed below.

Points to make:

* This bill would provide incentives for even more illegal immigration.

* Californians are overwhelmingly opposed to this idea. A Field Poll published this week found that two-thirds of California voters oppose the legislation.

* There are about 3 million illegal aliens in California, which is a major cause of the state's increasing sprawl and dwindling open space.

* California is spending billions of dollars annually providing educational and medical services to illegal aliens.
