SUMMARY:Springfield - How it works, and how to fix it - Silent No More
 !
DESCRIPTION: \nIllinois Senator Dan Duffy will discuss how the legis
 lature in Springfield works, which will be followed by a panel discuss
 ion about what we can do to change how Springfield works.\nIf you a
 re concerned about the dramatic increase in personal and corporate inc
 ome taxes without any constraints on state spending and debt, here is 
 a chance to learn what you can do about these or other state and local
  issues.\nSpeakers on the panel will include:\nJoe Calomino - Ameri
 cans for Prosperity, Illinois State Director\nBruno Behrend - The Hea
 rtland Institute\nCarol Parisi - The Great Awakening \nThis is the se
 cond anniversary of the famous rant by Rick Santelli of CNBC which tr
 iggered the Chicago Tea Party.  This \"Silent No More\" movement gre
 w in 2009 to confront an arrogant Congress which was passing massiv
 e \"stimulus\" spending and expansion of government programs far beyo
 nd what voters had been led to expect in the 2008 election. \nThe leg
 islature and Governor in Springfield have similarly disrespected 
 voters after the 2010 election by passing much larger tax increases t
 han any of the candidates had discussed a few weeks earlier.\nWhile ra
 ising our taxes dramatically, they have failed to address the fundam
 ental spending and debt problems of the state.  They used education a
 s an excuse for the tax increases, but in reality our schools will not
  get any more money.  Instead, our schools are facing major budget cu
 ts and  taxpayers are facing more tax increases while the Illinois ec
 onomy is becoming so unfavorable that even New Jersey is now trying to
  attract Illinois companies to relocate there.\nIt is time to get orga
 nized to put a stop to this behavior in 2011, and to change the legis
 lature as necessary in 2012.  As with the opposition to the legislati
 ve atrocities coming out of Congress in 2009 - 2010, it is time to be 
 \"Silent No More\" and ensure that our state and local officials show
  more respect for taxpayers and focus on the limited role of governm
 ent.\n\n\nFor more information visit https://thegreatawakening.ning.co
