Subject: We need to hold these 5 Democrats accountable

Dear Friend,

On Monday, the Colorado Senate narrowly rejected an important bill, Senate Bill 170, which would have allowed high school students in Colorado to attend College as Colorado residents regardless of their immigration status.

Contrary to assertions made during the debate over this bill, giving the children of undocumented immigrants the ability to attend college would not have increased the burden on Colorado's higher education system. The bill would have in fact qualified Colorado for additional funding once the federal DREAM Act is passed, and in any case the additional pool of college graduates in Colorado would have economic benefits far in excess of the cost--this is one of the reasons why we send kids to college in the first place.

While Republicans can be expected to sell out to the fringe elements of their party, it is unfortunate that a small number of normally good Democrats were key votes against tuition equity, and we need your help to hold their "no" votes accountable. Take a moment right now to sign our pledge calling on Democrats who opposed Senate Bill 170 to support it next year:

Hold representatives who voted against tuition equity accountable

Senators Morgan Carroll, Jim Isgar, Moe Keller, Linda Newell, and Lois Tochtrop, we are disappointed by your votes against Senate Bill 170, and we call on you to reject the extremist rhetoric on the issue of immigration and support tuition equity when reintroduced to the legislature.

We will deliver your comments to the 5 Democrats who wrongly voted against tuition equity--Senators Morgan Carroll, Jim Isgar, Moe Keller, Linda Newell, and Lois Tochtrop--and keep you up to date next time the issue goes before the legislature. Working together, we can help avoid the same mistakes that were made this week.

Sincerely,

Michael Huttner

Done! Please take a moment to call and email the above Democrats! Encourage them to continue to listen to the people and make the right choice when this comes up again.

Will get thanks out tonight! And you are right--this is absolutely disgusting.

Funny, I was discussing that term - "fringe" with a friend today. Anyone who supported Ron Paul was part of a fringe movement. We were talking about how politicians use that term to discredit others who don't agree with them. Right, Left, it doesn't matter.

While Republicans can be expected to sell out to the fringe elements of their party it is unfortunate that a small number of normally good Democrats were key votes against tuition equity.

I disagree with the statement above, regarding the Republicans, perhaps the author watched C-Span and/or went to www.senate.org and found that the majority of Republicans continually voted against Amnesty and only three Republicans voted for the Stimulus bill, etc. The American people need to support the Republicans. I am not a party person per se but in this case I am seeing a definite pattern.

It doesn't make sense to keep bringing up the many scew-up' s of Bush and the Dominating Democratic partners in crime in the House and Senate of the last administration, we have more than enough to deal with in this administration.

Will do in the morning.

Thanks Patriots!

You mean the "Dream" that was shut down what, seven times? Economy is worse now, Americans are angry..there will be NO illegal alien bailout. There are many more P.O'd Americans who will scream loud and long against this nightmare.
