FLORIDA ACTION ALERT: Support SB 386 – American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) bill
This is the first in a series of important alerts we will be sending to you in the days and weeks to come! Senator Alan Hays recently introduced SB 386, the Florida Senate’s American Laws for American Courts (ALAC) bill.
SB 386 is common-sense legislation that protects Floridians’ individual, fundamental constitutional rights from foreign laws or legal doctrines where the application of those laws/doctrines would violate those constitutional rights. No particular foreign law is singled out. The proposal applies to them all. It’s that simple.
The ACT! For America national staff have made the passage of this bill a top legislative priority. At this stage, it is up to the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee whether SB 386 progresses to the floor of the Senate. We need to be sure that the members of the Committee understand the strong level of support across Florida for this bill!
Can we count on you to help us with this today?
Contact by you, a constituent, will be the best chance to see that this important bill passes in the Senate Judiciary Committee and ultimately becomes law. It just takes a moment of your time, but when your actions are joined together with the actions of thousands of other voters in Florida, it makes quite a roar.

Please respectfully relay the following sentiments in your own words in a phone call and e-mail:
Dear Senator,
I urge you to support SB 386, the Florida Senate’s American Laws for American Courts bill. This important piece of legislation was introduced by Senator Alan Hays and has already passed in Tennessee, Louisiana, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Alabama and North Carolina.
Further, I ask that you do what you can to move this bill through the legislative process and to the Senate floor for a vote.
SB386 is tremendously important to all Florida citizens, as it protects their constitutional rights from the incursion of foreign laws and foreign legal doctrines, if those laws infringe upon their state or federal fundamental constitutional rights.
No individual foreign law is singled out.
We must maintain the authority of the Florida and U.S. Constitutions.
As a resident of Florida and as a voter, this bill is of the utmost importance to me!
Thank you again for your leadership on this vital matter.
Sincerely,
(Your name and city)
Thank you for your help in seeing this bill passed in Florida, so that your state can join the others that now have ALAC laws on the books!
REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS! IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT!
