If you haven't heard, the state legislature has cut nearly all funding for mental health, developmental disabilities, and other human services. Nearly ALL. Cuts go into effect in 12 days.
PLEASE contact your state senators and state representatives TODAY and ask that they restore the draconian cuts they made to human services. We cannot balance the budget on the backs of our disabled and mentally ill children. Visit www.votesmart.org to find out your local legislators. Please let them know that you have children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews that desperately need the services and that you support an income tax increase to continue funding human services.
For those of you not from Illinois, if you have friends or relatives in Illinois, please ask them to do this.
We need to flood the state senators and reps with contacts. It only takes a few minutes.
Thanks,
