Petition to All U.S. Governors: What Happens in Arizona Stops in Arizona (142 hits)
The reactionary forces that have been pushing Arizona's racial profiling law will stop at nothing to see it enacted. And they’ll keep trying to spread their misguided tactics across the nation.
Only a vigorous rejection of this dangerous, un-American law will prevent it from spreading to other states. Sign the ACLU's petition to all 50 governors to let them know that you won't tolerate unconstitutional racial profiling in your state or anywhere in the United States.
To All 50 Governors: There are numerous reports that state lawmakers are considering bills similar to that of Arizona's SB1070. This law is discriminatory, unfair and inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution and comes at a high cost both to taxpayers and to our treasured civil liberties.
I strongly oppose any effort to adopt this kind of legislation anywhere in the country. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone
