Great....

Now we must get all involved and

contact all the Illinois Representatives

and Senators to Co-Sponsor HB0273,

while it is a hot item, and sounds like

Blago be gone 59-0

We have 9 Co-Sponsors so far, and

the house does not convene till

February 4, 2009

Take Care,

Pete

Pete, I've been watching this Bill on the Illinois General Assembly Home Page and love it when I see another co-sponsor added.

I wondered if you know just what the channels a Bill must take before it becomes a Law. And generally how longs this all takes? I'll admit I'm clueless when it comes to legislations!

Take Care,

Grace

Al, Grace and all Illinois Veterans getting involved

We are going to see this through to the end one way or another....

I have emailed all Illinois Representatives / Senators, now I am going

for the newspapers opinion columns (most of them are free).

Al is the link man...I am sure if more veterans understood the process

they would be able to understand their Reps / Senators lingo. I am working

with some veterans organizations to get our fellow district Representatives

and Senators to talk at local organizations..ie..American Legion, Veteran

of Foreign Wars posts etc...Maybe this will help put a bug in their ear that

we are not only watching, but also listening what they have to say about

veterans in their districts.

Take Care

Illinois Veteran who want to get involved....

I have many 2007-2008 Illinois / Handbook of

GOVERNMENT paperback books left that are

very informative.If you want one just sent a

message to me and I will get one out to you.

We must UNITE and FIGHT for what is RIGHT

when it comes to Illinois Disabled Veterans and

HB0273.

To many other states already have some type

of this benefit for their disabled veterans, now

that Blago is gone and Quinn is in, we need to

step it up. I know that Quinn is proactive when

it comes to veteran issues.

Samalw is a wiz on linking and inputted much

information that can be downloaded if need be.

Lets get involved and show Illinois what being

a veteran is all about.

Take Care,

Putintime
