Thread: Ballot Initiatives

I would like to get an email out on Monday to our supporters recommending ballot initiatives they should support in different states.

Can you folks help me get together a good list here with brief descriptions?

W

Arizona,
voters will decide on four illegal alien propositions. Proposition 300 would end taxpayer subsidies for education and child-care services for undocumented immigrants. Students who are not U.S. citizens would have to pay out-of-state fees to attend public colleges. Proposition 100 would deny bail to undocumented immigrants charged with serious felonies. Proposition 102 would block undocumented immigrants from being awarded punitive damages in lawsuits; and Proposition 103 would make English the official language of Arizona.

Colorado

Referendum K would authorize the Colorado State Attorney General to file a lawsuit against the U.S Attorney General to demand the enforcement of all immigration laws by the federal government.


Any others?

In all, there are 205 measures on the ballots in 37 states

We want to get something out about this early today.

Can anyone tell us of any other Ballot initiatives on our subject in any other states besides CO and AZ?

Supporters of ALIPAC:

One day to go!

To Our Democrat Supporters

-- We have received several complaints from ALIPAC's supporters that are registered as Democrats. The complaint is that only FIVE of our 115+ Endorsements are Democrat candidates. We want our Democrat supporters to know that we have made every effort possible to locate Democrats that have strong stances on the illegal immigration issue. We wish that we were able to locate more than FIVE that have stances that are in line with both the ALIPAC platform and the 80+% of Americans that support the platform we have established. The fact of the matter is that many more Republican candidates support enforcement than Democrats.

Also, our endorsement process has been open to supporter feedback for several weeks. We have not received any recommendations from those that are currently complaining prior to the last few days. We want the approximately 12.82% of our supporters that identify themselves as Democrats to know that we are doing the best we can to be fair and accurate with our endorsements. We want to represent all of the Americans that share our concerns and goals.

The vast majority of Democrat candidates we have screened want amnesty or a "path to citizenship' for illegal aliens along with other benefits. We hope our Democrat supporters will continue to support us realizing that we have made our endorsements with maximum concern for the broad base of support we receive.

BALLOT INITIATIVES

Two states have important ballot initiatives in play during tomorrow's elections. Arizona and Colorado voters will be asked to vote on these measures.

We feel that most of our supporters would want to support these measures.

Arizona:

Arizona voters will decide on four illegal alien propositions. Proposition 300 would end taxpayer subsidies for education and child-care services for undocumented immigrants. Students who are not U.S. citizens would have to pay out-of-state fees to attend public colleges. Proposition 100 would deny bail to undocumented immigrants charged with serious felonies. Proposition 102 would block undocumented immigrants from being awarded punitive damages in lawsuits; and Proposition 103 would make English the official language of Arizona.

IF YOUR STATE ALLOWS PUBLIC BALLOT INITIATIVES, YOU SHOULD TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THESE MEASURES AND CONSIDER LAUNCHING AN EFFORT TO GET THEM ON THE BALLOT FOR 2008 IN YOUR STATE.
