CCRA Seeks Support
for Civil Rights Bill
By Hazem I. Kira
Sacramento, CA: The California Civil
Rights Alliance (CCRA), a statewide coalition of 23 mainstream
organizations, is calling on California voters to call their
respective state Senators to urge support for SJR 10, a
bill calling for partial repeal of the USA PATRIOT Act.
The Bill which has been in the works for several weeks has
already gone through the Judiciary hearing and a subsequent
2nd and 3rd reading on the Senate floor. The final vote
is expected anytime in the next week, which will decide
its fate.
The CCRA needs help especially with contacting Republican
Senators. Sen. Liz Figueroa, the principal author of this
bill, has recently started a television program, titled
"Figuratively Speaking" in which she had interviewed
CCRA cofounder Dr. Agha Saeed to boost efforts in the passage
of SJR 10. For further information please contact CCRA at
