A huge thanks to the members of the Illinois State Senate who showed the courage to vote for this important measure -- and most importantly, our thanks to Senators Terry Link and John Cullerton, whose leadership was critical in getting us to this point.
The work continues. The next battleground is the House of Representatives, and the quest for 60 votes there.
In the meantime, please take a moment to thank your Senators who voted for this important measure. You can get their contact information by clicking here.

I am a great-grandmother. I am allergic to smoke and I have asthma. My father, a sister, three brothers and a nephew died of cancer. I want a "smoke-free" world for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren so they will not have to breathe second-hand smoke like I have had to because people invaded my breathing space with their smoke. I would love to polish them with poison ivy so they could know my allergies.
