COMMITTEE VOTE TOMORROW THE CA STATE ASSEMBLY APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE - COMMITTEE VOTE TOMORROW, Friday, Sept. 1.
SB 54, the Sanctuary State bill, was referred to suspense status rather than voted upon at the 8/23/17 hearing. There will be a committee vote on Friday, 9/1/17, to either move the bill forward for a full assembly floor vote or to suspend the bill in committee. Most analysts state the bill will move out of the committee for a full assembly floor vote.
Even though the Sanctuary State bill is expected to pass out of the committee along a party line vote, please call the Democrats on the Assembly Appropriations Committee, listed below, so the VOICE OF RESISTANCE will be heardloud and clear. TELL THEM TO VOTE NO ON SB 54 to stop the bill in the committee.
PLEASE CALL THE CA STATE ASSEMBLY APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE MEMBERS, listed below. If your assembly member is listed below, stop by the district office and tell your assembly member to VOTE NO on Sanctuary State bill SB 54 on 9/1/17.
Let the committee members know that you OPPOSE SB 54 THE SANCTUARY STATE BILL.
DEMOCRAT CA STATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE MEMBERS
SB 54 the Sanctuary State bill is scheduled for the final committee hearing in the CA State Assembly Appropriations Committee on 8/23/17.
CALL NOW! PLEASE CALL THE CA STATE ASSEMBLY APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE MEMBERS, listed below. If your assembly member is listed below, stop by the district office and tell your assembly member to VOTE NO on Sanctuary State bill SB 54: committee hearing on 8/23/17.
Let the committee members know that you OPPOSE SB 54 THE SANCTUARY STATE BILL.
The State Assembly Rules and Policy Committees are in the business of hearing bills, marking them up, shooting them down, doing everything they can in their power to ensure that the agenda of the Democratic Party and the leadership in the two chambers goes through as expected.
There is one problem that even Democrats have to deal with in the state assembly. The membership is still more moderate, even if there are a superminority of Republicans. The moderate Democrats are not keen on raising taxes. They are not too keen on anti-business policies which attack working people, either. Many of the representatives in the Central Valley region tend to be more conservative than some of the Republicans in Los Angeles County.
A large swath of the assembly Democrats depend on law enforcement for their support, as well.
So, when discussions arise regarding SB 54, the sanctuary state legislation designed to turn the entire state of California into a haven for illegal aliens, everyone of us can imagine that they are not to keen to vote for it.
SB 54 was originally introduced as an emergency bill which would go into effect immediately when signed into law by the governor. Yet even then the slim supermajority of Democrats in the state senate were not budging. They simply would not vote to allow illegal aliens who had committed violent, heinous crimes to stay in California, protected from ICE.
This legislation is so nutty, that even Democratic voters do not support it. Sanctuary state legislation will protect nothing but the political opportunism of State Senate President Kevin de Leon and his phalanx of La Raza hatemongers.
So, what's the latest on SB 54?
The opposition is bubbling over. Activists crashed Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi's office last week to voice their vocal opposition to SB 54:
More cities have issued letters in official and vocal opposition to SB 54, too.
Here's the latest update on the next committee hearing for the bill:
Just a follow up FYI the next committee that will hear the SB 54 is the assembly appropriations. And as I was explaining to the staff, Muratuchi will be voting in committee on SB 54 - the hearing probably will not be until Aug 23, as I just called the committee to find out the date
See the list of members - Muratuchi is on the appropriation committee
I gave the CA Assembly Appropriations Committee another call, and they established that the next hearing could take place on either August 23 or August 30.
It is crystal clear to anyone paying attention that the state assemblymembers behind the scenes are working hard to prevent this bill from coming before them. They simply do not want to vote on it. They don't want to feel the wrath of either the Left if they reject the bill, and the do not want to deal with the police and law enforcement unions, who are deeply concerned about the safety of their members.
Case in point: politicians are so desperate to be liked, especially the Democratic ones, that they would rather fall on their sword than vote for this terrible bill.
So what does that? We need to double down on every legislator and demand that they kill this bill!
Here are the members of the members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
Give them the heat until they see the light!
