Support Republican efforts to oppose Quinn's tax hikes

ACTION ALERT: Republicans Need to Hear Your Support Tell Them You've "Got Their Back" if they Oppose the Tax Hikes Pat Quinn and the Democrats need Republican votes to pass their massive income tax hike -- and they're pressing hard to get those votes.  Their fearmongering and scare tactics are creating enormous pressure on Republican legislators. The Democrats have mismanaged state government for six years, destroyed our economy – and now they want the Republicans to bail them out with a tax increase? Click here today to email House and Senate Republican leaders Cross and Radogno to tell them you support their efforts to hold all Republicans strong against the tax hikes. We know tax hikes will make our struggling economy even worse. Tax increases would slow economic growth, threaten jobs and shrink Illinois workers' paychecks even further. The Republicans in Springfield want to do what's right -- and they need to hear from you to know you've "got their back." Email Republican leadership today to show you support their efforts to oppose Pat Quinn's tax hikes. Because while the Democrats are busy playing politics – our Republican legislators need to do what's right for our jobs, our families and our livelihoods. Giving the Democrats the votes they need to pass the tax hikes will do immense damage to our state -- and to our Republican Party.
