Hey guys, I got this from my brother on email:

Update/ALERT on Colorado HB 1224/Sham ID bill

Tuesday, April 22, 2003 5:31 PM MDT

The critical Colorado House Bill 1224, aka The Secure and Verifiable Identity Documents Bill, which could be the FIRST bill in the nation to stop a state's acceptance of sham ID cards, is back on track.

IMMIGRATION REFORM ACTIVISTS can help pass this bill so that you can point to Colorado as "doing the right thing."

Our information as of today is that Colorado Representative Don Lee will RE-introduce House Bill 1224 "as is." This was Rep. Lee's option when the bill tied last week in the House. Rep. Lee has been doing the right thing, according to those of us who want to STOP Colorado governmental entities from accepting any foreign SHAM ID cards. He has come up against strong opposition from open-borders Colorado Senator John Andrews, a fellow Republican who has tried -- and succeeded -- at having HB 1224 amended in the Colorado Senate in ways that DESTROYED the original, GOOD intent of the bill by permitting law enforcement officers to accept it (why?) and allowed any pregnant or breast feeding ILLEGAL ALIEN to access any and all public services by flashing their sham ID (why?). Sen. Andrews happens to be President of the Colorado Senate. He is reportedly huffing and puffing about citizens' justifiably angry responses to his dirty work on HB 1224. Good work, CITIZENS!

We must do everything we now can to support Rep. Don Lee. While we are not sure what the key steps are at this time, a good start is to contact ALL members of the Colorado House of Representatives (emails on Colorado State website) and ask to pass HB 1224 as re-introduced by Don Lee.

All you have to do is call, email so that we should keep the pressure on and it is not only about national security, it's about protecting our national sovereignty and enforcing our immigration laws. Please do this for your country and protect your children's future. Thanks.

Feel Free to contact all of the state representative. They're supposed to listen to the American People.

Here is the website to take some serious action: http://www.state.co.us/gov_dir/leg_dir/house/members/

BTW, here is some of the responses that I've received from two state representatives regarding my concerns on the Matricula ID's Cards. I have plans to email to all of the other representatives in the next few days. What a difference it makes when you take action by phone or emails.

Robert,

Thank you for encouragement. *I will continue to be a proponent of enforcement of immigration laws and strengthening existing laws.

State Representative Don Lee (R-CO)

Robert, thanks for the email. *I support your position. *Keith

Tom, I got some interesting info back from my representative this morning.

Amendments have been added to this bill in the Senate that would make the card valid for traffic stops and for free health care for those mothers with children born in this country. House Republicans are now working to kill it.

Hi Terri! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I recently got some comments from two representatives who is backing my views on the H.B. 1224. Terri, I have faith on the house republicans in Colorado that they will block any amendments that will allow children of illegal aliens to gain free medical care and use the ID card to gain residency.

Looks like more people in Colorado are waking up on this issue and I hope Colorado won't face the same problems we Californians are facing.

Thanks for your comments. I couldn't agree more.

State Representative David Schultheis (R-CO)

I am a supporter of this issue and have actually voted for it several times already. I hope we can get it through before May 8th and get it signed by the governor. Thank you for your input and your support.

State Representative Bill Cadman (R-CO)

Remember 9/11 and thousands of Americans were killed because of our lax immigration policies allows them to caused a lot of harm against this country.

President Ronald Reagan once it said loud and clear:"A nation that cannot control our borders is not a nation!"
