Illinois state lawmakers are working this weekend and Memorial Day too.
Take ACTION: Please take a 3-4 minutes to call your state representative about the following two bills. Lawmakers will be in session Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and could vote on these bills at any time!
The Capitol switchboard number is (217) 782-2000 and is open 24/7. Simply make the call and ask to be transferred to your state rep. to leave a message with the legislative assistant urging your lawmaker to oppose both HB 3027 and SB 744:
- HB 3027 — promoted by the ACLU of Illinois — mandates that every public school which teaches sex education in grades 6-12 must teach “comprehensive” sex education.Contraception-centered sex-education curricula encourage children and youth into early sexual experimentation. They mislead youth and create a false hope that condoms will provide sufficient protection from the physical, emotional and social consequences of early sexual activity. (Click HERE to learn more about what comprehensive sexperts from the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) think our children need to know.)
- SB 744, the massive expansion of gambling, was amended and passed out of committee on Friday afternoon. Read more about this legislative proposal HERE.
