We have opened this website because of the imminent danger to the implementation of Senate Bill 60, which permits all eligible applicants, irrespective of their immigration status, to obtain a California driver's license or identification card. Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger has made repeated declarations that he intends on repealing SB60 upon assuming his position of governor on November 15, 2003, even though he is obligated by his sworn duty to uphold the laws of the state. (see article in LA Times, date)
Additionally, the California Republican Assembly, an organization of conservative Republicans, is presently circulating a petition to place a ballot referendum to repeal SB60 on the ballot for the March 2004 elections.
The Latino and immigrant communities of California are being attacked from two sides. Just when we thought that the divisive and hateful anti-immigrant period of California was receding into the trash bin of history, we find renewed attacks with similar virulent nastiness mounted against our community.
The California Republican Assembly has opened a website called - SaveOurLicenses.com. Check it out. Get informed on how they are attacking our community. Check out their plans to repeal SB60. They have until December 7, 2003 to qualify their ballot initiative. They must collect 375,000 eligible signatures and submit their petitions to the California Secretary of State to qualify for ballot status in March 2004. According to their webpage, they need to collect some 500,000 signatures, if not more, before the deadline. They claim to have mailed out 250,000 petitions, in league with other right-wing groups, to individuals interested in assisting in their cause. It is now a race against the clock.
SEND YOUR LETTER TO GOVERNOR-ELECT ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER TODAY.
Enclosed is an Internet-letter for you to send to Governor-Elect Arnold Schwarzenegger before he formally takes office on November 15, 2003. Join thousands of others in sending a message to Arnold. Our goal is for Gov. Arnold to receive 100,000 letters before he is sworn into office.
WHO IS THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY?
You need to know who is behind this attack against the Latino and immigrant communities of California. What do they want? Who supports them financially? Who are their leaders? What did they have to do with Proposition 187?
WHO IS KFI RADIO AND THE JOHN AND KEN SHOW?
You can get an awful earful of anti-immigrant hate when you listen to "The John and Ken Show," KFI Radio (630 AM), not the hour, but the radio dial frequency, any day of the week. Certainly, this is not an advertisement to support this venom, but for you to be aware of the evil that lurks within our midst to turn heads against our community. The SaveOurLicenses.com website brags about the "success" they had with the "KFI Radio Remote Signing Event" directed by the shock jocks, John and Ken, broadcasting on the air at a signature gathering event in Seal Beach where they claim to have collected some 2,000 signatures. This is the right-wing on radio organizing Californians against their fellow residents and citizens.
Find out more about these right-wing shock-jocks and how they are organizing against Latinos and immigrants. Find out which advertisers support this type of hate and venom.
