Contact All State Senators and Representatives!
Here is a list of email addresses of all (well, most) state senators, and of (again most) state representatives.
Email them all! There are two lists so you can start one email "Dear
Senator-" and the other "Dear Reprentative-".
Some reasons (pick as many or as few as you want):
- These are our homes!
- The Tribe's theory of why they deserve the land does not withstand
historical scrutiny.
- There never was a "reservation", or recognized title. Shab-eh-nay had
a "right to use", and for his lifetime only
- The website dctac.org explains the
actual history
- Whatever happened back then, this park belongs today to the people of
Illinois
- This clause about giving the Tribe right of first refusal is an
unconstitutional taking
- Illinois is too broke to be giving anything away
- We paid for this park!
