Florida Action Alert--We're Almost There!

 ,

Thanks to your continued help and outreach, American Laws for American
Courts legislation continues to make its way through the Florida
legislature. Each day we get closer to seeing ALAC finally become law in
Florida.

As a reminder, Florida ALAC is a common-sense legislative proposal that
protects Floridians’ individual constitutional rights from foreign laws or
legal doctrines where the application of those laws/doctrines would violate
those constitutional rights. No particular foreign law is singled out.

Brigitte Gabriel and our national staff
have made the passage of these bills a top priority for the 2013
legislative session. This is a
vital step in the overall protection of the nation. This erosion of
Constitutional authority must be stopped.

We are making good progress on this legislation in large part because of
your support. Recently, the House Judiciary Committee voted to favorably
report HB 351—with only two dissenting votes!

*** TWO IMPORTANT ACTION ITEMS ***

1. Today, we need your help letting members of the Florida Senate
Children, Families and Elder Affairs Committee know of the immense support
SB 58 enjoys in Florida.

This committee will be hearing the bill TODAY, Monday, April 8, at 4
PM (more about that below)!

We’re almost there. We can see the finish line for our Florida effort! Help
make sure the bill doesn’t fall short like last year—so agonizingly close
to the bill’s passage!

Please call the following senators today
and Monday morning and RESPECTFULLY voice your support for SB 58:
Application of Foreign Law in Certain Cases.

LIGHT UP THEIR PHONES!

Important Note: If you only have time to make one call, make it to:

Senator Geraldine F. “Geri” Thompson (D)   (850) 487-5012

2. If at all possible, please attend this afternoon’s hearing in the
Senate Children, Families & Elder Affairs Committee. Further, bring as
many people as you can with you. We need to fill the room and be respectful
and professional at all times!

If you can’t attend, please forward this request to as many people as you
know who might be able to do so.

Specifics are as follows:

Date:        Monday,
April 8, 2013
Time:        4:00 p.m. EDT
Place:      Senate Office Building, Room 37
(Mallory Horne Room)
                  Tallahassee,
Florida

As always, thank you for all of your efforts. You ARE making a difference!
