Florida Action Alert - Fight the Racial Profiling Bill

The proposed immigration bill is an Orwellian reality minus the tantalizing dystopian sci-fi setting. A personal example is when I crossed Arizona from Las Vegas; the patrols that stop you look through the windows of your car. If you're white, they leave you alone. If you're anything else, they don't. Go ahead and label having a conscience as "un-American" but I find it a moral imperative to see that doesn't keep happening. Can you bring the ruckus to the upcoming Town Hall meetings?
