Good morning,

Monday night's reform discussion with Dan Seals and Daniel Biss was an informative and stimulating evening from start to finish. Every chair was filled and everyone left the NTD office with renewed determination to tell Springfield that we expect meaningful reform legislation in May.  The next two Monday night meetings, should add to that spirit.

Political corruption in Illinois defeats the will of the people and costs the taxpayers millions of dollars. the time for change is now. The first step is campaign finance reform. Please demonstrate to the citizens of Illinois that you put the public interest before the interests of big campaign contributors. We call upon our legislators to act NOW to reform campaign finance reform in Illinois.
