Urge Governor Rauner: Please Veto These Two Terrible Bills
Two important pieces of legislation are awaiting Governor Bruce Rauner‘s action — to sign, or to veto — and both bills should be vetoed!
For him to do this, he needs to hear from the Illinois’ pro-life and pro-family community. He needs to hear from all of us, and the sooner the better.
The top priority right now is getting calls and emails in opposition to HB 1785 — which arrived on the governor’s desk on June 29th after passing the Illinois House by a vote of 63-43 and the Illinois Senate by a vote of 32-22.

Big Illinois Government’s Insatiable and Impossible Demands from Taxpayers
It’s a sad tale of two cities.
The news out of Washington, D.C. this spring is that President Donald Trump and the Republican majorities in Congress plan on cutting taxes. The unsurprising news out of Springfield, Illinois is that General Assembly Democrats are planning to raise taxes.
