A+ Illinois has set up a toll free number - 1-800-651-0315 - that makes it easy for your group to have a phone calling day to your legislators.  Pick a day for everyone to meet before school, at lunch, or after school with their cell phones!  Pile up the message slips so legislators can't avoid their duty to the children of Illinois.  The system will prompt you for your zip code to identify your Senator or Representative and put your through to your legislator's office.

Get your local cable provider to run  the 28 minute crash course video by Ralph Martire on the state's financial situation.  Your regional office has a copy of the DVD or you can order it from charlie.mcbarron@ieanea.org.  We need to surround the legislators with the message.  The video is also posted at  http://www.ieanea.org/videoRalphMartire.aspx - and on YouTube.
