Take Action

Don't badger us, Scott Walker!

The Illinois Chamber of Commerce has invited Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to speak in Springfield on April 17. The Chamber's top priority is slashing the modest pensions earned by teachers, police, caregivers and other public employees.

Using this page, you can send a message to the Chamber's board of directors. Tell them we don't want Scott Walker's extreme policies, his attacks on the rights of working people and his failed record on jobs, health care and education here in Illinois. Firmly but politely ask them to cancel Scott Walker's speaking invitation. Enter your name and address, then click 'Send Your Message' below.

Here are some points you can use in your letter:

- I reject Scott Walker's false attacks on working people. He was wrong to strip teachers and other public servants of their right to collective bargaining.

- Since Walker took office, Wisconsin has the nation's worst record on jobs.

- Walker's huge budget cuts to education and health care are hurting Wisconsin kids and families.

- Walker's administration is under investigation, with many of his closest aides facing felony criminal charges.

- I stand with the more than 1 million Wisconsin voters who signed petitions to recall Walker.

Wisconsin doesn't want Scott Walker -- and neither does Illinois. The board of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce should cancel Scott Walker's speaking engagement in Springfield.
