on DREAM Act as introduced in House and Senate

Rep. John Bayard Taylor Campbell (R-CA)

According to www.govtrack.us Rep Campbell was elected to California's 48th district in 2005 until presently. According to govtrack's analysis Campbell is considered to be a far-right Republican who is a follower and who co sponsors bills of other members.

" Voting record

Campbell is a Republican, and has a tendency to vote with his party. His votes show the he is:

* Against gay marriage (voted for Same Sex Marriage resolution) [[1]]
* Pro-campaign finance reform (voted for the 527 Reform Act)[2]
* Approves of the presidents decision to send more troops to Iraq (voted NO on Iraq War Policy resolution) [3]
* Does not support increased funding for public education and does not support affirmative action (voted NO College Access and Opportunity Act) [4]
* Against federal gun control (Trigger Lock Amendment - prevents funds in the Commerce Department FY2007 Appropriation bill from being used to enforce a law requiring guns be sold with locks on guns) [5]
* Pro-religion (votes yes to Public Expression of Religion Act) [6]
* Against Federal Support of Medicare (Voted NO to Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act) [7]

The 527 Reform Act is interesting because it takes the power of campaign contribution out of the hands of 527 organizations and puts it into the hands of the candidate's party. The Public Expression of Religion Act is also interesting because it makes it harder to sue the Federal Government for not upholding segregation, and thus can be interpreted as pro-religious.

Interest group ratings: * Pro gun organizations support him (Gun Owners of California, NRA) [8] * Educational organizations do not support him (National Association for College Admission Counseling) [9] * Labor organizations do not support him [10] * Pro life organizations support him (National Right to Life Committee, Life Priority Network) [11] * Civil Rights organizations tend not to support him most of the time. [12] * Veteran’s Organizations are split down the middle (Disabled American Veterans, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) [13] * Public Health Organizations do not support him (American Public Health Association) [14] * Pro-Marijuana Law Reform Organizations tend not to support him; (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws)[15] * Animal Rights Organizations are split over him [16] * Immigrant organizations do not support him; anti-immigrant organizations support him [17].

Based on his previous stance on immigration and immigrant organizations not supporting him Rep Campbell is most likely to vote against the D.R.E.A.M. Act and any Comprehensive immigration bill.
