Looking at some other Illinois State House bills turned up this
resolution, sponsored by Carol Ammons and Linda Chapa LaVia:<br>
<br>
HR 61 -- Nuclear Weapon - No First Use<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=61&GAID=15&GA=101&DocTypeID=HR&LegID=115873&SessionID=108">http://ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp?DocNum=61&GAID=15&GA=101&DocTypeID=HR&LegID=115873&SessionID=108</a><br>
<br>
It resolves (a) to call on the US Pres. to make it US policy of no
first use of nuclear weapons, (b) for Congress to pass legislation
to that effect, and (c) for the US Congress to stop funding new
nuclear weapons "that can produce a relatively small nuclear
explosion [...] potentially lowering the threshold to using nuclear
weapons first".<br>
<br>
If you like this idea, you can support it short of going to
Springfield by filing a witness slip in support of the bill:<br>

<br>
There's a committee hearing on it - Energy and Environment - this
Tuesday at 3pm, so file a slip before then if you're going to.
Visible support might help it go further. <br>
