Know organization behind conservative fliers

Posted July 10, 2016 1:00 am

My legislative district is getting negative and misleading fliers every week misrepresenting the actions of our Democratic legislators in Springfield.

They are from a so called "nonpartisan" nonprofit organization, the Illinois Policy Action organization supported by the Koch brothers.

Their literature states their goals are to attack unions, support "job robbing" free trade agreements and limit rich people's taxation in Illinois. Their literature attacks Michael Madigan, The Service Employees International Union and public employee unions in general.

They supported Lincolnshire's "right to work for less" regulations. Their funding comes from sponsors averaging $10,000 each.

If you get their literature, understand who it is coming from and why. I am sure it is a coincidence that their nonpartisan actions match Governor Rauner's "Turnaround Illinois" agenda.
