Action required: Tallahassee; House Bill 2012/HB1209 and Senate Bill 2012/S1360

[Patricia M. McBride]

We need to contact the governor and our STATE representatives about these bills, and an attempt might be made to contact those on the senate committee (if it passes the house, but does not pass the senate, it won't fly...........but what the bill appears to say is no law used in any court in our state that does not comply with state law and the US constitution carries the force of law  period...............and it does not say anything about Sharia law..........it basically says any foreign law or finding basically can't be enforced if it violates our laws in this state or the constitution and Obama hasn't replaced every single judge yet with this progressive judges who make it up as they go).   Please read what went out to the Muslim community and then, below that I have tried to come up with every link you might need to find out about these bills and links to contact info or the contact info.

 

Here is what went out to the Muslim community from one of it's leaders:

Ahmed Bedier argues FOR Shariah law, as detailed in this "emergency" letter he sent to his Muslim followers.
Asalaamu Alaikum

Yesterday the powerful Florida House Judiciary Committee voted 13 to 1 in favor of a dangerous anti-Muslim law, sending it to the entire Florida House for a general vote. The proposed law HB 1209 has now cleared all hurdles and will go to the House Floor for a vote any day now. THIS DANGEROUS ANTI-MUSLIM / ANTI-SHARIA BILL WILL BECOME LAW IN FLORIDA IF WE DON'T STAND-UP AGAINST IT.

This Tuesday, February 28, is our best opportunity to kill this proposed law.

This Tuesday, we need hundreds of Floridians to join us at the State Capitol Building in

Tallahassee to urge lawmakers to oppose this legislation.

This Tuesday, WE NEED YOU IN TALLAHASSEE, WILL YOU BE THERE?
