<DIV>Hi David and Robert:<BR><BR></DIV> I'd like to support
this effort with a simultaneous event here at his Chicago office, depending on
the date. Could we make this a statewide effort with people showing up at
all of his state offices?<BR><BR></DIV>Regards:<BR><BR></DIV>Bill

<DIV dir=ltr>It seems to me that if we are going to crush the President's
proposal to cut Social Security and veterans' benefits by means of the
chained CPI, Durbin is key.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>What do people think of the idea of taking a rowdy delegation to
Durbin's office in Springfield?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps we could gather some friends from Springfield, Decatur,
Bloomington, etc.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Key logistical hurdles: 1) we'd have to go on a weekday and 2) it's an
hour and a half away.<BR clear=all>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>What do folks think? Who would be into doing this? Who could go? Who
would help organize?</DIV>
