We Can Still Pass Marriage Equality in Illinois This Summer!

[Indyfan53]

Illinois House leader Michael Madigan approved an extension on Bill SB0010, The Religious Equality and Marriage Fairness Act. The deadline extension goes until August 31st.

Governor Pat Quinn can call for a special session to bring up a vote on the bill. We can contact his offices and encourage him to do so here:

3. Do you know what a "butterfly net" is?

The head of one of the major lobbying organizations explained it to me. The goal of the "petition" is solely to collect your email address. Has no influence on policy decision-making whatever.

4. I created the petition

5. Quinn calls an emergency session. Votes remain the same. Nothing accomplished.

Take the time until November to line up the votes you need.
