Attention Illinois/Chicago Area!

I mentioned this last week but I wanted to mention it again, with more updated information.  

If you are in the area, come to one of our rallies to protect the Supreme Court!

When it comes to something as important as the Supreme Court, a nomination shouldn't be made in a partisan way, but by seeking consensus across partisan lines for judges who care more about how the law affects ordinary Americans than they do about ideology. Come to our rally and let our senators, our president, and the media know that we want Supreme Court Justices who are fair, independent and committed to protecting our individual rights and freedoms.

Details are in the extended entry:

There will be 5 rallies tonight, Tuesday, July 5:

In Chicago:
Federal Plaza (Adams & Dearborn), 5:30pm

In Arlington Heights:
The Daily Herald (155 E. Algonquin Rd.), 6:00pm

In St. Charles:
The Daily Herald (3805 E. Main St.), 6:00pm

In Springfield:
Federal Courthouse Building (6th and Monroe Streets) 5:30pm

In Carbondale:
Federal Courthouse (250 W. Cherry), 6:00pm

At our Chicago Rally, we have some exciting speakers:

Rep. Jan Schakowsky
Rep. Danny Davis
Illinois State Rep. Julie Hamos
Illinois State Rep. Sara Feigenholtz
William McNary - Citizen Action/IL and USAction
Tracy Fischman - VP Public Policy, Planned Parenthood/Chicago
Steve Trombley - President and CEO, Planned Parenthood/Chicago
Meghan Streit - President, Chicago NOW
Carol Levine - Access Living
Julie Sweet - People For the American Way Midwest Regional Office

•  I'll be at the Chicago rally

  I work across the street.  See you then.
