We highly encourage all IMA members to connect with their legislators to share your opposition to the proposed Illinois Jobs Tax.

When contacting a Legislator:

Do:

• Know your Senator and Representative by name.
• Use your own words and convey your own story.
• If your Senator or Representative is unable to speak with you, please leave a message, including your number, so you can be called back.
• Send a follow-up note or email after your conversation which restates your position and offers further discussion if the legislator desires.
• Contact the IMA to share your conversation with your legislator, and any information or positions they provided.

Don’t:

• Knowingly misstate or use a fact. If you don’t know the answer to a question, don’t fake it. Offer to find the answer and get back to them soon.
• Leave out essential details.
• Interject party politics or criticize other legislators.
• Attempt to play one chamber against the other.
• Criticize the opposition.
• Threaten to “work against” or to note vote for your elected official.
• Get angry if your member cannot speak with you personally.
