From D.A. King:

ACTION NEEDED! One call, one minute. SR675

 “Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide that English is the official language of the State of Georgia?"

FACT: SR675 will allow all Georgia voters to answer the above question on the ballot in November when we vote for president.

FACT: SR675 has already passed the Georgia state senate.

FACT: SR675 must now pass the Republican-controlled Georgia state House of Representatives – by a 2/3rds majority.

FACT: SR675 cannot make it to the full House until it passes out of the House Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by GOP Rep Wendell Willard.

-----àACTION NEEDED: If you want to vote on official English in November, please call Rep Wendell Willard’s Capitol office 404.656.5125 right now and leave a polite message with his very nice assistant.

 “Please tell Chairman Willard we want to vote on official English in November. Please tell him we are watching and we want him to give SR675 a hearing in the Judiciary committee this week.”

Senate vote scheduled for tomorrow on S.2146 that would END SANCTUARY JURISDICTIONS:

Tell your Senators to vote YES

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has scheduled a procedural vote for tomorrow (10/20) at 2:15 p.m. on Sen. David Vitter's S.2146 that would help end sanctuary policies! Sixty votes are needed to bring the bill to the Senate floor for debate.
Since the tragic death of Kate Steinle in July made national headlines, the Senate has yet to take action against the 340 jurisdictions that ignore requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to hold or notify the release of criminal aliens. Sen. Vitter's bill would block certain federal law enforcement grants if these jurisdictions continue to ignore ICE.

S.2146 would:
•Block certain federal grants to sanctuary jurisdictions and reallocate those funds to jurisdictions that cooperate with ICE
•Require the Department of Homeland Security to compile and make public a list of sanctuary jurisdictions
•Protect local police from lawsuits while they carry out ICE detainer requests
•Increase penalties for illegal re-entry, including mandatory 5-year sentencing for certain serious and repeat offenders

CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD -- 888-995-2086
Please call the toll-free number we've provided above that will connect you with the Capitol Switchboard. When the operator answers, you can ask for your Senator's office.

Once connected with your Senator's office, please tell the staffer that you want the Senator to end Sanctuary Jurisdictions by voting YES on S.2146. 

FYI...

Second Amendment Celebration

October 24th event at Wild Bills

is CANCELLED.

--- 
Fellow Republicans,

Due to extenuating circumstances, the Georgia Republican Party is canceling the 2nd Amendment Celebration scheduled for later this month.

We appreciate the widespread support for this event and for the Party's efforts to protect our Constitutional Rights. We hope everyone will continue to support the GAGOP by participating in the Great American Gun Raffle, which ends on October 24. Click HERE to purchase your raffle ticket.

With your help, we can push back against President Obama's gun control agenda and preserve our 2nd Amendment Rights for generations to come.
Thanks again for your strong support. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,

John Padgett
Chairman
Georgia Republican Party

Following is our Open Letter to Senator Johnny Isakson (also sent to Senator David Perdue) from CRW/NA regarding the pending Obama lifetime appointment of Dax Lopez as federal judge here in Georgia.

As you may know, Dax Lopez was a long-time board member of GALEO, an organization whose mission it is to subvert our immigration law, lobbying for non-compliance and non-enforcement. How can we possibly sit by and appoint someone for life to INTERPRET the law, when he has already revealed his desire to subvert it? We believe our two Georgia U.S. Senators have it within their power to stop this if they want to. We (ALL of us) need to write letters to them to urge them to do so. Please join our club in adding your voice to this critical common sense, rule-of-law issue.

Dear Senator Isakson,                                                            Wednesday, October 14, 2015

Re: President Obama’s nomination for federal judge, Dax Lopez

As dedicated conservatives and active Republicans, we write to express our fervent and well-informed objection to further consideration of President Obama’s nomination for federal judge in the Northern District of Georgia.

We hope and trust that you will agree with our executive board that, because of his long-time support and service to the anti-enforcement, activist immigration corporation, GALEO, Dax Lopez has disqualified himself for becoming a federal judge.

As we trust you are aware, GALEO has a long and easily documented history of actively lobbying against enforcement of our battered immigration laws, against common sense voter ID laws, against local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities and for instate tuition for illegal aliens. GALEO also serves as a well-funded community organizer/lobbyist for a repeat of the 1986 amnesty for illegal aliens. These are only a few of the decidedly leftist causes this organization has pursued.

While unabashedly vocalizing his “support for their mission,” nominee Dax Lopez served on the GALEO board of directors for eleven years, as treasurer and as keynote speaker at GALEO fundraisers while lending his name and prestige as a state court current judge to the GALEO mission and agenda. This includes GALEO joining with the ACLU to sue in federal court to overturn state statutes aimed at protecting Georgians from the ravages of the crimes of illegal employment and illegal immigration.

The role of the judiciary is to interpret the law; yet, by word and deed, Dax Lopez has presented every indication that he is willing to assist in subverting and overturning laws with which he apparently does not agree. We also note that Lopez resigned from his position with GALEO only after his his nomination to the federal bench.

This history should disqualify his nomination from advancing to consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

We respectfully ask that you use your authority to terminate consideration of Dax Lopez for the federal bench.

By a unanimous vote,

The Executive Board of Conservative Republican Women of North Atlanta
