Talk hosts like Howie Carr and John DePetro of WRKO helped this effort.

This kind of activism via talk radio has worked in the past. The late Jerry Williams crusaded against a mandatory seat belt law, the placement of a prison in a town that didn't want it, Congressional pay hikes, etc. "Call your legislators" (this was before email) "and pressure them". He would frequently play the "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" clip from "Network" and he helped spread the word about Mike Dukakis in 1988.
Woo hoo! Cheers! Whistles! Fireworks!
Now if Kaleephornya will get its head out of its butt.....
The RNC would do well to take note that these whack job laws supporting illegals cannot be passed, even in a socialist state. During the vote, the balconey and lobby had a horde of illegals demanding their "rights" to low tuition.
And the WRKO website (via Depetro and Carr pages) has the roll call vote so people can see how their reps voted. "Remember in Novemeber." (My rep, Mary Grant--a Dem., I believe, helped
to vote this unfair proposal down. yay!)
I don't even see why the taxpayer should be paying tuition for LEGAL aliens.
Imagine if we got that kind of action out of the US House and Senate MAJORITIES we hold!
How can you be an in-State resident when you're in the State illegally? Massachusetts was able to figure this one out.
