Ask State Senators to Support E-Verify Bill


This is a special message for NumbersUSA members in North Carolina.

Dear North Carolina friends,

State Sen. John Snow introduced a bill (SB 32) that would require city/county governments, and certain state and local government contractors, to use the federal E-Verify system to check the workplace eligibility of new hires. State agencies were required to use E-Verify beginning in 2007, so this is the next logical step in an effort to extend E-Verify usage and thereby free up jobs for unemployed citizens and legal residents.
The state legislative session is expected to end around June 30, but there is still time to push this bill through. It is currently sitting in the Senate Commerce Committee, but has not been given a hearing or a vote. Please call and email the following influential Senators and ask them to ensure that a fair up-or-down vote is held on SB 32:

Sen. President Pro Tempore Marc Basnight (919) 733-6854 Marc.Basnight@ncleg.net

Sen. Commerce Committee Chair R.C. Soles, Jr. (919) 733-5963 RC.Soles@ncleg.net)

Sen. Commerce Committee Vice Chr. David Hoyle (919) 733-5734 David.Hoyle@ncleg.net

Sen. Commerce Committee Vice Chr. Tony Rand (919) 733-9892 Tony.Rand@ncleg.net

Note: Senators Hoyle and Rand are co-sponsors of SB 32.
Also, please ask your Senator via phone and email to do everything possible to ensure passage of SB 32. You can look up your Senator’s name by clicking on this link -- http://www.ncleg.net/Senate/Senate.html -- and typing your zip code under the text “Who Represents Me?â€
