<body class='hmmessage'>The Illinois Civil Union Bill (HB 1826) has a very good chance of passing in the next several months. ACLU of Champaign County is a member of Equal Marriage Illinois Champaign County which is focusing on arranging meetings with undecided legislators representing parts of Champaign County.<BR><BR>As of now, Representatives Black, Cultra, and Rose have not publicly indicated their support for the bill. These three individuals represent significant portions of Champaign, rural Champaign, rural Urbana, and <BR>almost all of the other areas in our county.<BR><BR>Legislators consistently say that in-person visits are the most effective way to get their attention. A meeting with a legislator may sound intimidating, but it’s actually just a simple conversation with the person elected to represent your interests in Springfield.<BR><BR>Equal Marriage Champaign County has developed a concise instruction sheet to explain how to arrange a <BR>meeting.
