There has been a flurry of activity at the Capitol in Springfield which will continue until March 31st before lawmakers break for 2 weeks for Easter. Some bills have passed out of committees, others have had their deadlines extended to be heard in committees. These bills could be voted on either this or next week.

If enough people call their Springfield offices, it will put lawmakers on notice and may make all the difference in the world in stopping these bad bills. They must understand that the opposition to their agenda is alive and vocal.

It’s best when you call that you only mention 2 or 3 bills during each call. Therefore, if you’re able, call their office a few times during the week. Thank you VERY MUCH in advance!

Please CLICK HERE to access your state representative’s and state senator’s Springfield office numbers. You’ll find them at the very end of Your State Officials.

CALL YOUR LAWMAKER(S) TO OPPOSE THE FOLLOWING

Call your STATE REP to oppose HB 2039 which allows for your personal health records to be sent to your local health department “for the purpose of preventing or controlling disease…” and allows the Dept. of Public Health, the Dept. of Human Services, and the Dept. of Healthcare and Family Services to “adopt any rules necessary to implement the Act.” Why do public health bureaucrats need to have your private health records? Think lockdowns and mask mandates. Why would we grant them more authority over our lives?

Call your STATE REP to oppose HB 1286 which legalizes and allows construction or conversion of “multiple occupancy restrooms” into “all-gender restrooms” complete with urinals, stalls, partitions, and signage so that both sexes may use the same multiple-occupancy restroom at the same time. If you have a wife, daughter, sister, or mother, “all-gender multiple-occupancy” public restrooms puts them at risk of encountering peeping toms, dirty old men, voyeurs and worse: sexual assault.

Call your STATE REP to oppose HB 1596 which replaces gender explicit pronouns of “his” and “her” with “the child” or other nouns in numerous state laws pertaining to children. Ask your lawmakers not to cave in to the woke language police.

Call your STATE REP to oppose HB 3 which prohibits disclosing drug test results on pregnant women to DCFS or law enforcement plus removes a portion of  the “neglected child” definition that refers to newborns who test positive for controlled substances.

Call your STATE REP to oppose HB 2118 which allows anyone (not just a pharmacy) to sell any amount (rather than up to 100) hypodermic needles.

Call your STATE REP to oppose HB 2572 which bans public funds from going to groups that help people who suffer from unwanted same-sex attraction. Any group currently owed State funds would not get paid.

Call your STATE SENATOR to oppose SB 1344 which mandates that abortion drugs and transgender hormonal therapy treatment be covered in insurance policies.

HB 999 will establish women’s health clinics around the state for various services including abortion services. Why would we want our tax dollars used to promote liberal “health” policies that include the destruction of innocent pre-born human life?

SB 218 will allow physician assistants to prescribe Schedule I, II, III, and IV drugs, including abortion drugs.
