Petitions Available To Overturn California DREAM Act, AB131
Petitions Available To Overturn California DREAM Act, AB 131
The petitions to overturn AB 131, the second part of the California "DREAM Act" that would provide public financial aid for higher education to illegal alien students, have been printed. The effort by Assemblymember Tim Donnelly (R-San Bernadino) to invalidate this law via referendum requires 504,760 valid signatures of registered voters. They need to be collected by January 6, 2012 to have the measure appear on the ballot. The referendum will then need majority approval from voters to pass.
AB 131 could require $14.5 million a year in state grants to thousands of illegal alien students at a time when the California university system has had its budget cut by $1.3 billion and there are fewer spots for all students. This bill creates a new entitlement that will entice tens of thousands of people more to come here illegally. Please help with signature gathering.
