PEDRO MARIN S CONTRIBUTIONS TO KOREAN AMERICANS IN GEORGIA How can Korean Americans actively participate in the 2012 elections? Korean American Voters are invited on Oct. 4, 2012, to meet GA State Rep. Pedro Marin who represents Gwinnett State House District 96. This district includes the very important Korean American corridors of Duluth, including Pleasant Hill Road & Steve Reynolds Boulevard. Over his 10 years in office, Pedro has contributed tremendously to the Korean American community. His accomplishments include: IMMIGRATION: Pedro fought Against Georgia s Anti-Immigration Laws Pedro strongly opposed Georgia law HB 87, which allows police to question a person s immigration status if they suspect they are not US citizens or residents. He spoke against this law bravely when the majority of Republican legislators ultimately passed HB 87. Pedro s words: In examining the provisions within HB 87 I strongly oppose this bill due to its lack of moral decency by forcing human beings to be relegated to second class status.... If you have brown, black, and yellow skin, a foreign surname, or speak with an accent, you must now prove your citizenry or legal residency or risk being jailed. In Jan. 2012, Pedro introduced a law to repeal HB 87! DRIVER S LICENSES: Pedro fought for Driver s License Tests to be given in Korean Pedro strongly opposed Georgia Law HB 72, which would have required driver s license exams to be administered ONLY in English. Fortunately, this bill did not pass. Can you Imagine if your parents or family members could not take the driver s license test, because their English was not fluent? Pedro s words: Every year, new bills are introduced, whether it is voting requirements, making English the official state language, racial profiling of undocumented immigrants, or some other measure that strips our state of its humanity and history as a cornerstone of the modern civil rights movement. Let us move beyond ENGLISH ONLY legislation and start focusing on PEOPLE ONLY legislation. EDUCATION: Pedro fought to allow Undocumented Students to attend Georgia Colleges Pedro strongly opposed Georgia Law SB 458, which would have barred undocumented immigrants from attending ALL of Georgia s 60 public colleges. Fortunately, this bill did not pass, but it will be re-introduced again by Republicans in the future. Pedro s words: I stand in opposition to Senate Bill 458, legislation that prohibits a specific group of young people from receiving a post secondary education. I want to thank each and every member of this chamber who has methodically and mercilessly stripped a segment of the Georgia population of its dignity and rights. I am sure you will rest better knowing every brown and black person who is undocumented is either out of the state, behind bars, or imprisoned within their own homes for fear of being captured.
MEET PEDRO MARIN AT A FUNDRAISING DINNER Pedro Marin is facing tough opposition for his reelection campaign in 2012. For speaking out on behalf of immigrant families, and opposing the Republican majority, he was punished politically. The Georgia House of Representatives recently re-drew the lines of Pedro s voting district changing it from a majority Democrat district, to majority Republican. Conservative Republicans want him OUT of office, so that he does not continue representing the voices of immigrant communities. The Republicans and their opposition candidate will continue to propose and pass anti-immigrant laws in Georgia. Korean Americans need a representative who will stand up for our rights! On Thursday, October 4, 2012, Korean Americans for Pedro Marin are hosting a fundraising dinner to invite the community to meet Pedro. The dinner is hosted by Bonnie Youn of the Youn Law Group. All members of the community are invited to have dinner with Pedro, to listen to him talk about his issues, and to ask important questions about the upcoming elections. A Korean English translator will be provided.

Duluth, GA 30096 TIME: 7:30 9:30 PM RSVP: koramsforpedro@gmail.com Directions: Call 770-813-8138
