I am increasingly angry and unhappy as this year wears on. But what keeps me going is pushing back against the evils being perpetrated by Republicans in general and the Orange Monster in particular, Trump. Well, my fellow Illinois residents, we have an opportunity. Our state legislators are considering a measure that would bar any Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidate from appearing on the Illinois ballot without releasing five years of their full tax returns! In addition to calling your state legislators, I would recommend filling out a witness slip in favor of the legislation here: goo.gl/nmGXve
It’s really easy. Just fill out your name and address. If you’re authorized to act on behalf of a group, add its name; otherwise, I usually just say I’m a constituent and represent myself. Check the proponent box and file a Record of Appearance and you’re done.
Don’t live in Illinois? Feel free to share in your social media feeds. Surely someone sane who lives in Illinois follows you and would welcome the opportunity to engage with her state legislature.

Thank you!
