Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I would urge each of you to send the following note to your State Representative and your State Senator plus the four leaders and then email your entire friends and family email list to do the same... Please consider attending the rally on Monday. Ellen Tell the Illinois State Government PUT PEOPLE BEFORE POLITICS! On July 1st over One Million People across Illinois will lose access to social services delivered by the State of Illinois. The Governor and the Legislature failed to agree on a way to fill an almost $10 billion budget deficit. Now the Governor has little choice but to cut state services for people by 50%. & #1048766; Families, adults and children will lose their housing, their employment, their substance abuse treatment, kids will lose their foster homes, their childcare, their health care, their psychiatric services…the list goes on and on. & #1048766; These cuts will not save money! People will be literally out on the street, police will be occupied addressing disturbances, courts will be filled, hospitals will burst at the seems with all of the emergency care that people will now require, and people forced into nursing homes. & #1048766; As many as 200,000 people in the Human Services field and as many as 10,000 State Employees will be laid off in the middle of a terrible recession where people already need more services and assistance…not less! This affects you too! This will decimate our communities. We need a balanced budget that includes services to people with disabilities, people in treatment, our elderly, homeless children and other people in crisis all across this state. Here is the contact information What you can do to help: • Contact your State Senator and State Representative, urging them to consider the needs of people we support and the staff we employ. If you do not know who to call or email go to: www.capwiz.com/anixter put in your zip code for your legislators. • Call the offices of the leaders and tell them to not throw vulnerable people out into the street: o House Speaker Madigan, 773/581-8000, mmadigan@... o House Minority Leader Tom Cross, 815/254-0000, tom@... o Senate President Cullerton, 773/883-0770, john@... o Senate Minority Leader Radogno, 630/243-0800, cradogno@... • Attend a rally and demand the Legislature do its job to fund People!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well said !! It's not right we should have to beg year after year. Tara Kosieniak www.sibsnetwork.org AdultSibsNet/ I GoodSearch for SIBS (Supporting Illinois Brothers and Sisters) Help me raise money for SIBS just by searching the Internet with GoodSearch - www.goodsearch.com - powered by Or go to www.GoodShop.com when shopping on line. Another way to help is by igive.com http://www.iGive.com/SIBS AND http://www.iSearchiGive.com/SIBS From: Richter <ginar_30@...> Subject: Re: The message IPADDUnite Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009, 6:31 AM Good ideas! I would like ALL of us to remember what we have been going through these past days/weeks! When/IF we get some of these cuts restored - DO NOT do the " thank-you, thank-you " routine!!! They have put us thru the wringer!!! How many years have they threatened cut, we have rallied, they have restored funding, we have thanked them! We are still in the same mess!!!! We are serving more people with less money, and paying staff at NO COLA! This is not something to be thankful for. We need to get back the CUT funding, AND keep working for the BLUEPRINT funding - which will help this scenario from happening year after year!! Think of all the negative feelings, the despair, the man hours!!! Do we really want a repeat of this every year? Let's keep the momentum going! Don't loose heart! Stay strong! Re: The message Yes we talked and talked and shouted some more this afternoon at DuPage County. AGain, friends we are singing to the choir when we hold these rallies. As an aging hippie ... I recall the good old days when protests made change, marches and protests were much less polite than what we have been doing. .. Like all of you out there on these different lists, I am calling e mailing getting to springfield and the corthouse. Guess what??? They dont care..the legislators dont care. We have yet to make them publically uncomfortable. . I guess what we need is a good old fashioned sit in...right in front of their offices.I feel like I am spinning my wheels, and the wheels of the good friends who pick me up and walk with me on the journey. but we ar not getting anywhere. the stink we have made still smells like Channel, and no one is disturbed by this..I would never never opromote violence, but a sit in, a march around the home office of our reps and senators with signs like I saw at DuPage county may get some local attention. One more thing, for now. One of Adam's friends, abright young man just graduating from U OF I had talked with his mother, my friend. She shared with him what is going on and how this would impact Adam. He has sent out a message to his list of college friends the message to contact their lawmakers and demand no cuts. He used a brief story about his childhood friendship with Adam, inviting his college friends to do the same, recognizing they must all know someone with a disability., or have an elderly relative. I am proud of this young man, and I am excited to see and hear young people now have a cause to get behind. So this may be another source of voters we can ask to support us...in a sit in hmm. cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
