Sign the Petition: Close Corporate Tax Loopholes and Invest in Illinois
Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, House Speaker Mike Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton
Join us in demanding that Governor Rauner, House Speaker Mike Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton pass a full-year, fully funded budget that raises an additional $1.3 billion by closing tax loopholes.
These loopholes exclusively benefit big corporations and wealthy individuals. We need that money to invest in communities throughout Illinois.
Governor
Rauner and the Illinois legislature need to listen to the people of Illinois, not
just the wealthiest 1% and big corporate CEOs. We know what real
people want because we took the time to ask.
ONE People's Campaign volunteers knocked on 5,000 doors in Chicago, Bloomington, Normal and small towns throughout McLean County. We listened. And now we are moving into action. Please join us.

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, House Speaker Mike Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton

[Your Name]
We are asking you to close $1.8 billion in annual corporate tax loopholes (that benefit big corporations not small businesses) and put the Fair Tax (graduated income tax) on the ballot in 2018.
Illinois will then have the revenue to invest in good green jobs that rebuild our infrastructure, strong public education, health care for all, free higher education, and an end to mass incarceration. This is an agenda that will allow the people of Illinois to thrive.
We are calling on you to stand with the majority of Illinois, not corporate lobbyists and the ultra wealthy.
