Retirees Vote NO on CON/CON
CON-CON is the ConstitutionalConvention vote that will take
place on the Nov. 4th Ballot. One of the changes that the CON-CON will provide
is the TAXING ALL PENSIONS in the State of Illinois.

To all my retired friends and those that will retire in the future, get the word
out to vote NO!!!!! For those of us that get municipal pensions, our Social
Security is already cut, thank you Dan Rostenkowski. Do not let the State tax
our pensions.

Tell all your Illinois friends that on Nov. 4th vote NO to CON-CON.

Let's get the word out.

Thanks for you help.

2. Changes in Pension would affect all active (working) contributors...
This should not be an "I've got mine so who cares." issue.
Yes, I'm getting mine BUT what about those that are paying now?
They should be able to at least count on the fund they've been mandated to join.
