<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">Dear Robert,</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">The last time I touched base with you, the Illinois Senate was just about to vote on IL SB 10, a bill that if enacted would bring full Marriage Equality for all Illinois couples. Thanks to calls and emails from PFAW members like you, on Valentine’s Day the Illinois Senate approved IL SB 10, 34-21 and<strong>,</strong><strong> last night, the Illinois House Executive Committee passed it 6-5, setting the stage for a full House vote in the next few days!</strong> </p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">Your calls and emails continue to make a huge difference.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">It’s time to hit the phones again and tell your Illinois State Representative that you support full Marriage Equality for all Illinois couples. <strong>Please call now!</strong></p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">Rep. Naomi Jakobsson
<a href="tel:%28217%29%20558-1009" value="+12175581009" target="_blank">(217) 558-1009</a></p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">After you call, please take a moment to let us know how it went with our <a href="http://site.pfaw.org/site/R?i=9-Ps1YlLfN9gEkqHXcshRg" target="_blank">online response form</a>.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">Governor Pat Quinn has publicly stated that if both houses of the Illinois Legislature approve SB 10 he will sign it into law. When this happens, Illinois will become the 9th state in the union to choose fairness and equality over discrimination and fear. <strong>Will you join me and help make it happen?</strong></p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">Please pick up the phone and add your voice to the growing chorus demanding Marriage Equality in the Land of Lincoln. Call Rep. Naomi D. Jakobsson now to urge support of IL SB 10.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">Rep. Naomi Jakobsson
<a href="tel:%28217%29%20558-1009" value="+12175581009" target="_blank">(217) 558-1009</a></p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">PFAW’s team will keep track of how we’re doing, and let you know what kind of impact you had on the vote.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em"><em>Now is the time to make this happen.</em></p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">Thanks in advance for staying actively engaged in this important fight for fairness, and for all you do!</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">Sincerely,<br>
Scott Foval, Regional Coordinator</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;margin-bottom:1em">P.S. If for some reason your state senator did not show up above, you can get connected via the IL State Capitol Switchboard: <a href="tel:%28217%29%20782-2000" value="+12177822000" target="_blank">(217) 782-2000</a>.</p>
