GA State Senator Josh McKook (R-Columbus) attacks DACA
Georgia State Senator Josh McKoon (R-Columbus) has introduced SB6, “The Georgia Road Safety and Driver’s License Integrity Act.” His intention is to block access to driver’s licenses to a targeted immigrant population, among other things. He is taking legislative input from convicted felon, Donald Arthur King. Please read this link.
GA State Senator Josh McKoon may be contacted at his district office number (706) 442-9130 and is on twitter with the handle @JoshMcKoon.
We will need lots of mobilization on this issue to protect our community further from anti-immigrant attacks that will attempt to undermine the protections that may be put in place by Pres. Obama. Please stay tuned for action alerts on this and we will need people to show up in January for taking action and providing testimony against these measures.
