The Illinois State Senate now has the bill HB 1100 after it barely passed the House. The bill will be a huge victory for the immigrants in the state, if it passes, because it would offer a driving certificate to the more than 250,000 honest, hard-working people in the state of Ill. who at the present time do not have a certificate, let alone a license.
\nThis bill passed by only four votes in the House so anything can make or break this bill. At the present time, the bill sits in the Rules Committee. The committee includes
\n three Democrats and two Republicans, if three of them from any party vote against it, the bill is dead and we need to start all over.
\nTherefore, I am going to give you the phone numbers of all five state senators in the committee. All you need to say is \u201chi, my name is [say your name] and I support HB 1100, and I expect Senator [say the name of the senator you called at this point] to vote for it.\u201d If you\u2019re nervous about having someone pick up, call at night or on a weekend when an answering machine will pick up.
\nSome of us are a disappointed with the arrests going around the country; others are disappointed because there\u2019s no march this year in the area. Many of us are citizens and need to call these legislators because if we won\u2019t, anti-immigrant groups like the Minutemen will. Latinos make up the largest number of immigrants in the United States.\u00a0 The last census said that the Latino community is the largest minority group in the nation; let\u2019s show the state that we care enough to give them a courtesy call for our concerns.
\nThe phone numbers of those in the Rules committee are:<\/p>\n
Chairperson:\u00a0 Senator Debbie DeFrancesco Halvorson (D), she\u2019s also the Senate Majority leader (217) 782-7419 and (708) 756-0882.
\nSenator Rickey R. Hendon (D) (217) 782-6252 and (773) 265-8611.
\nSenator Louis Viverito (D) (217) 782-0054 and (708) 430-2510.
\nSenator Christine Radogno (R) (217) 782-9407 and (630) 243-0800.
\nSenator Dale A. Righter (R) (217) 782-6674 and (217) 235-6033.
\nAlso though not on the committee, our local state senator Mike Jacobs may be the easiest one to access by calling (217) 782-5957 and (309) 797-0001.<\/p>
