NE Legislature LB 1001

Patriots-

As presented in the Nebraska Legislature, LB 1001 would deny illegal aliens the instate tuition rate if they attend Nebraska colleges. At this time the University of Nebraska can account for 37 illegal alien students in its system.
Regardless of their academic abilities, these individuals are being rewarded for
their illegal status and that of their parents, who brought them into our
country as minors. The Education Committee held a hearing Monday to take
testimony for and against this bill. The committee will meet again this Monday,
perhaps to vote on whether LB1001 advances to the floor of the Legislature.
Opponents of the bill feel it has a good chance of passing if it does get out of
committee. You can help LB1001 advance by doing the following:

      Call the members of the Education Committee- see the attached lists for their names and office phone numbers. Tell the office staff you support having LB1001 advance to the Legislature. If your senator is one of
the 14 sponsors of the bill, mention his/her name and tell them you support
their sponsorship. The sponsors are the Senators with the dot before their name
on the NE Senators 2010 list. You will need to call Friday or Monday. Phone
calls have a big impact.  Pass this information on to as many people as
possible.

     While you have the call list in front of you, call your Senator and tell him/her that you support LB1001, especially if your Senator was a sponsor. They need to hear from you when they do something you agree with.
