Good Afternoon-
 
We need your help!  We are actively trying to get legislation passed that
will provide a safety net against funding shortfalls for ADA Paratransit
service.  It is very important that each of you get involved and send this
advocate letter to your legislator or your local newspaper.  If you are an
advocate or a representative from a workshop, please tailor the message to
fit your situation.  This same template is being sent to numerous people, so
please customize and personalize the letter to reflect your own story using
your individual feelings and circumstances.  This letter is intended as a
guide only, so write anything that you would like as long as you remember to
reference the bill number and why it is important for the legislature to
pass this bill. Please view the attached letter and fact sheet. Please
forward this to friends, relatives, and other advocates and encourage them
to support this bill also.
 
We encourage you to contact your state representative to tell them that you
support House Bill 585 and that it’s important to you. If you’re unsure of
who your legislators are, please visit
http://www.elections.illinois.gov/DistrictLocator/DistrictOfficialSearchByAd
dress.aspx to get your state representative’s contact information. If you
need help or can’t use this website, please call Lisa at (847) 228-2421.
 
Respectfully,
