Americans for Prosperity - Illinois

As you may know, the Illinois General Assembly will hold a “lame duck” session over the next few days and the newly-elected General Assembly will be sworn in on Wednesday. Legislation dramatically affecting you and your family may be taken up in the near future.

Take a few minutes to contact your state legislators about two very important issues: 1) Keeping the 67% state income tax increase temporary; and 2) Saying “no” to the further implementation of Obamacare in Illinois through a massive expansion of Medicaid.

Contact your legislators by clicking HERE to let them know we want lower taxes and less spending in Illinois, not more!

The Land of Lincoln is still aflame.

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, upon signing income tax hikes into law on January 12, 2011:

We had to take decisive action. … Our fiscal house was burning.

Almost two years later, the Land of Lincoln is still aflame. The state began its 2013 fiscal year this past July with an estimated $8 billion of unpaid bills and a total of some 160,000 bills awaiting payment.

Did you know that government employee unions have huge influence on state budget and policy? Did you know that these unions pursue their own special interests using money collected from government employee paychecks? These salaries are taxpayer funded, which means your tax dollars are going to advance someone else's agenda.

Is this what democracy looks like?
