Anti-illegal groups take their effort statewide

Press Release, December 13th, 2007\

Statewide Umbrella Group Formed For Anti-Illegal Immigration Groups\

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MANASSAS, VA: Five grass-roots organizations engaged at the locality level on the illegal alien issue have joined together to form a state-wide issue advocacy organization called “Save The Old Dominion” which will advocate for the passage of needed legislative reforms by the General Assembly to the Commonwealth’s immigration policies. During last year’s legislative session, of the fifty bills introduced that would have helped to discourage the unlawful presence of illegal aliens in the Commonwealth, the only one to achieve passage was a bill that established the Virginia Commission on Immigration which will study the issue. “Save The Old Dominion” will help engage Virginia residents with their elected officials in order to improve on that dismal record of legislative failure.\

The initial member organizations of Save The Old Dominion are:\

Help Save Loudoun

Vienna Citizens Group

Help Save Hampton Roads

Centreville Citizens Coalition

Help Protect Culpeper

Additional organizational members of Save The Old Dominion are expected in the near future.
