Miguel-- The Florida House of Representatives just passed HB351, the anti-Muslim bill, by a vote of 79 to 39. HB351 is identical to the Senate version SB58. In order for this bill to become law it must now pass a final committee in the Senate before going to the senate floor for a final vote. If SB 58 makes it to the Florida Senate floor, it will pass. Our liberties and faith(s) are under attack in Florida, we need EVERYONE around the nation to help us defeat this bill. Regardless of where you live, you can help. THIS IS NOW OUR LAST CHANCE TO DEFEAT SB 58. IF WE GENERATE ENOUGH PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS TO LAWMAKERS OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS, WE CAN KILL THIS BILL. CAN WE COUNT ON YOUR HELP? TWO CRITICAL THINGS YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW (Doesn't matter where you live): 1. Call the below three senators and say: "I urge you to stop Senate Bill 58 (application of foreign law", don't schedule it in the rules committee or send it to the floor for a vote." 2. Click here to Email the Senate leadership, tell them drop or stop SB 58. WHO TO CALL: SENATOR DON GAETZ FLA SENATE PRESIDENT 850-487-5001 SENATOR JOHN THRASHER RULES COMMITTEE CHAIR 850-487-5006 SENATOR ALAN HAYS SPONSOR OF SB 58 850-487-5011 Senate bill 58 is an anti-Muslim bill originally drafted by Arizona lawyer David Yerushalmi, a known anti-Muslim racist. Yerushalmi has called Islam the enemy and has called for the deportation of Muslims. Yerushalmi, makes the irrational claim that Islamic law is an imminent threat to the United States and that's why he drafted the anti-Shariah legislation. Senate bill 58 would ban courts from applying or even considering foreign "Islamic law" and/or international laws in family law disputes.  While the bill's supporters intended to target Muslims, it would also impact Jews and other religious minorities.  To learn more about the bill click here. Regardless of where you live, we need your financial support to continue this political fight. CAN YOU MAKE A DONATION OF $50, $100 or $250 in order to mobilize more people, grow this campaign and defeat this law in Florida? We defeated this bill last year, and together we can defeat it again in the next few days. Thank you for your support.
