SB1400 Drama Today - Urgent Call
After Senate Appropriations Chairman Joe Negron declined to agenda SB1400 pro-benefits for illegals Republicans have been busy in an effort to resurrect SB1400.
MAKE AN URGENT CALL TO:


Senate President Don Gaetz: 850-487-5001; gaetz.don.web@flsenate.gov

Is is imperative that you call Senate President Don Gaetz today to thank him for his opposition to SB1400 and to urge him to refer any bill containing tuition waivers for illegal aliens back to committee for review, in order to not revive the stalled SB1400. This call is important to protect college for legal students and to prevent the estimated $22 million fiscal impact. If you are a Republican you could add that blocking SB1400 could prevent an establishment Republican blunder of huge proportion.


At this late date in the session normally such a bill would be dead but SB1400 is not a normal bill. There are lots of indications, polls, and speculations that enactment of tuition waivers for 'undocumented students' could result in a larger net loss of true conservative/tea party votes than a net gain of Hispanic votes. Speculation also includes the belief by many that such a bill will significanty dampen enthusiasm by true conservatives, as was experienced with the Romney loss. Despite the desparation of this Hail Mary Pass, a coalition of Republicans including Gov. Rick Scott, former Governors Jeb Bush and Bob Martinez, Speaker Will Weatherford, Senate Rules Chair John Thrasher, Senate Sponsor Jack Latvala and others have pulled all stops to resurrect SB1400 (AKA College Tuition Subsidy for Illegal Aliens).
Confirming that College Tuition Subsidy for Illegal Aliens has already caused a Republican Party war before an important election, award-winning blog site Shark-Tank.com just reported that Republicans opposing SB1400 are being targeted for punishment:

This bill is causing some of its supporters to act more like liberal AFL-CIO thugs, as threats are now being levied against some Conservatives who do not support Latvala's pro-amnesty for illegal aliens bill.
The threats are said to be carried out through third parties, by supporters of Latvala, and are warning these Conservatives, that if they openly oppose the SB1400, they can expect to be attacked by paid liberal bloggers, and quite possibly some main street reporters, who would implement character assignations against them and their families.


The drama today will be in the Senate Appropriations Committee chaired by hero to many Senator Joe Negron. SB1400 Sponsor Latvala will attempt to amend an education bill with the stalled SB1400. Senate President could consequently block the bill so it is imperative that Senate President Don Gaetz hear from you that this bill must not be revived.

Latvala's procedural maneuver would add the in-state tuition language to Senate Bills 950, 1292, 1394 and 1666, all of which involve education.
Even if Latvala is successful, Gaetz could halt the provision with yet another procedural move.
The drama in the Senate Appropriations Committee will occur between 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM today and can be viewed at:

IT IS URGENT THAT YOU CALL SENATE PRESIDENT DON GAETZ TODAY!!
