Gov. Perry has now called for abolishing Sanctuary Cities and passing Secure Communities legislation in this summer session!! Your voices need to be heard!

To understand the situation, please read about the positions with these pdf attachments. 

· RITA (Reform Immigration for Texas Alliance) response statement 

· IRCOT* call for their members to call Austin

(*Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas - people who favor Secure Communities and E-verify legislation)

· the Governor's proclamation.

 

Please call your legislators, senators, Governor and Lt. Governor to counter the members of IRCOT. Also if you can go to Austin on the 15th to join the RITA press conference and protest it would be a great help. Find your legislator's contact info here. 

 

Your voices (calls, emails and faxes, your presence in Austin) were instrumental in preventing this legislation from passing during the regular session!!  THANK YOU!  Now, we must stay focused and vocal to defeat this attempt to pass this legislation during this special session!

 

Please share this with your family, friends and faith community and ask them to join us in fighting against the mandating that our local, county, state law officers and our local businesses determine immigration status and become enforcers of federal immigration law.
