SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATE IN REFORMING ILLINOIS GOVERNMENT & POLITICS: HERE'S HOW TO DO IT NOW!

E-Mail from the Illinois Reform Commission:

On April 28, 2009, the Illinois Reform Commission issued its 100-day Report, calling for ethics reform in six key areas. The report can be found at www.reformillinoisnow.org, the same place where you added your voice to the work of the Illinois Reform Commission. Will you give the same call for reform to your legislators? WE SUPPORT SIGNIFICANT REFORM AS OUTLINED BY THE ILLINOIS REFORM COMMISSION THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION.As a citizen interested in reform, won't you join us in calling for that reform now? The nation is watching Illinois to determine how we will respond to the corruption and scandal that has been the state's legacy.

Everyone is urged to send a
"message" to the 'powers that be' regarding reform. I sent the following to the 4 'leaders' listed in the post:

"We, the people, support major reform being enacted, as called for by the Illinois Reform Commission. It can't wait! Do it, NOW!"
