If anyone would like a scanned copy of the letter on the Governor's letterhead, I can email them a copy.
Meanwhile, I think the Governor needs to hear from us as to why he should support SB580.

Dear Mrs. Calabro:
Thank you for your letter and for sharing your thoughts with the Governor. He appreciates the time you took to share your views on this subject.
The members of the Indiana General Assembly are currently debating Senate Bill 580, unauthorized alien matters. 1 encourage you to contact your local legislators to express your views about this legislation. Contact information for the Indiana House and Senate is included below.
Governor Daniels has said on numerous occasions that the immigration problem requires a national solution that no one state can solve. Immigration reform is important, starting with better enforcement of existing laws, but it shouldn't go too far in shutting off opportunity for people who want to come to this country.
Please be assured that Governor Daniels monitors all legislation very closely as it proceeds through the legislative process and thoroughly reviews all bills that are brought to him for approval or veto. He will keep your thoughts in mind should this legislation reach his desk for consideration. This issue is of concern to many Hoosiers, so it is likely that legislators will deliberate on the benefits and/or downfalls of any changes to current policy.
Thank you for your citizenship.
Sincerely,
Kristen Kane Constituent Services Office of the Governor
