Arc Action Alert on Monday and the Senate
Monday, September 22, 2008
Your calls to the local offices of your Senators have been very effective! Thank you! On Monday continue your calls only this time the Springfield office is the target! We cannot take anything for granted and we want to show strong bi-partisan support which means, both Democrats and Republicans are supporting the restoration of the cuts to disability and human services. By the way, the Senate has also called a general session for Monday so, if this is true, the Senate would be able to concur with the House action of restoration of the budget cuts! All of the Senators I talked to on Friday indicated they were getting many calls on the restoration of the cuts and intended to support our efforts on: Senate Bill 1103 and House Bill 6350. See letter below for talking points. Tony Paulauski The Arc of Illinois 708-206-1930
