Illinois Ping List, PING!
Make certain if you can’t go that you and everyone on your list calls their legislators.
You or they can look up their officials here: https://www.votervoice.net/ILFI/Address
This is a big one and if we can turn back SSM in Illinois we’ll have won a lot. They’ve got all the legal protections they need via civil unions. There’s been no rush into civil unions by sufferers of SSA. So that was a ruse as well.
Good luck and God bless.
Buuuump!
I heard the "marriage equality" people got rained on during their rally yesterday. Surprisingly, I didn't see any media coverage of their event. I know they will ignore ours.
I'll probably give my RAT state legislator another call just to remind her I'm against it (I spoke to her in person about it in Feb.) She claims to be "on the fence" but will vote however Madigan tells her to. The real reason they can't pass it is because so many black RAT legislators are against it, and they're in "safe" districts and the "marriage equality" people can't primary them with a pro-gay marriage RAT in black neighborhoods.
The new House GOP leader, Jim Durkin, said he didn't think they'd call gay marriage for a vote in the fall. Do you think it's just an ideal threat from the RATs to make us think the fight is over and we should surrender? Or they have some backroom plan here to pass this crap?
