Help Us Preserve In-State Tuition
|
|
The
law permitting certain immigrant students who are long term residents
of the state to qualify for in-state tuition in Texas has received a
lot of national attention since Governor Perry announced he was
running for the President. As you know, most of this attention was
negative. Many elected officials in Texas have already announced they
will file bills to repeal this legislation next session.
We
cannot sit around idly while our opposition destroys good public policy
that has benefitted students and Texas. Instead, we are launching a
campaign
to mobilize all of the supporters of this legislation, and particularly
those who are registered to vote.
If
you are a registered voter in Texas who is not voting in the Republican
Primary, please sign the petition to add a proposition supporting
in-state
tuition and the DREAM Act to the Democratic Party primary ballot.
You can download the petition here. Once you and your family and friends complete all blanks, please fax to 512-480-2500 or email to racuna@txdemocrats.org. Or you can mail it to ULI at
3106 Duval St. #310
Austin, TX, 78705.
We are trying to reach
35,000 signatures state-wide,
so each signature counts.
Our DEADLINE is
Friday, November 18, 2011
Thank you for your continued support,
University Leadership Initiative
NOTE:
We are a non-partisan organization. However, we feel that this petition
would best allow us to demonstrate that this legislation has broad
support amongst United States citizens
who are registered voters.
