Thanks for the help. Looks like we ended up with 13,000 signatures instead of the 10,000 we were going for!

Dear Friends,
*
Just a few short weeks ago, my colleagues and I started a petition drive to send a message to Illinois' legislative leaders: oppose oppressive Chicago gun laws! We set a goal of delivering the signatures of 10,000 law-abiding citizens to Illinois' legislative leaders.
*
Not only did we surpass our goal, but yesterday, I joined my downstate colleagues William Haine (D-Alton) and Gary Forby (D-Benton) in delivering 521 pages with almost 13,000 signatures directly to the President of the Illinois State Senate, State Senator John Cullerton (D-Chicago).
*
In our meeting with President Cullerton, my colleagues and I shared your message and expressed opposition to recently proposed legislation to tax ammunition and register hand guns with the government.
*
This legislation is still in the House of Representatives, but we will continue to watch it closely. Should either piece of legislation move over to the Senate, we will continue to work for its defeat.
*
Thank you for your hard work and continued engagement on this issue. Straight from your mouths to the desk of the President of the Illinois Senate, your message has been delivered.
*
Sincerely,
Senator John Sullivan
