Thank you for your post. Will email the lot of them.

Tis going to be an alipac initiative? I'll do it if it will really make a difference in that state

Stealth-
We need all of the help we can get. KY is rapidly becoming a Sanctuary state given that neighboring states are enacting legislation against illegal immigration and employers. So far, our state has been VERY lax on taking a stand against this issue. Horse farmers, builders and lobbyists are "dependent" upon this slave labor. It's the common man here in KY that is suffering the consequences - gang murders, increasing drug activity and a state deficit that is going to result in huge tax increases.
