Welcome! I'm a Secure Arkansas volunteer, authorized to blog here from time to time.
This is our inaugural post, and I'll do my best to make each entry informative and news-worthy. This will be one method of communicating what's going on regarding Secure Arkansas.
Jeannie Burlsworth, Secure Arkansas Chair, delivered a ballot petition to the Arkansas Attorney General on March 26th regarding illegal immigration. This initiative would require the state and local government to verify the lawful presence in the United States of any person 14 years or older who applies for a federal, state, or local benefit (including applications for business licenses, in-state college tuition, and scholarships.) It would also require gov't agencies to document the types and dollar amounts of benefits provided to persons who are found to be in the United States unlawfully and submit an annual report of the provided benefits and costs.
As you'll read on our website, www.SecureArkansas.com, we are committed to the rule of law and the fair treatment of both citizens and legal immigrants.
We need your help! We are currently awaiting to see what the Attorney General will do regarding our ballot initiative, but we need volunteers to help raise funds and gather signatures for the petition. It's very important that this be put in front of Arkansas voters in November. We believe that the hard-working families of Arkansas have a right to say how their own tax dollars should be spent!
Please click on the site link above to donate to our organization and also to let us know how you'd be willing to help.
Remember, the Arkansas State Motto is Regnat Populus (the people rule). Let's make it so!
Thanks!
