IMPORTANT: ILLINOIS MEMBER ACTION NEEDED!
On November 30, 2009 Governor Rod Blagojevich will close 11 Illinois state parks due to budget constraints. These park closures will affect recreational riders, boaters and hikers. Lt. Governor Paul Quinn opposes the closings and has created an online petition for Illinois citizens to express their support in keeping the parks open. You can view the petition at www.saveourparks.org .
The link below has a map which shows each of the 11 parks facing closure: http://standingupforillinois.org/saveourparks/map.php


We urge you to visit these web sites and express your support for keeping equestrian trails open in the state of Illinois. You can also contact your representative in the Illinois state legislature.

OOPS!!
The ballots say to return them to PO Box 73 instead of PO Box 730.  I apologize for not catching the typo.  Please return them to PO Box 730.  I've talked to the local post office and they are aware of the error and are helping us out.
