Would you devote a
couple of hours a year to SAVING YOUR PENSION?
(That danger is a lot more real than you think!!)
(That danger is a lot more real than you think!!)
CONSIDER JOINING RTAC'S E-mail Alert Network.
They're
the people who watch the circumstances of retired Chicago
public school teachers. Their aim is to preserve and
enhance our existing benefits. Because our conditions
are largely determined by legislators, both state and
national, RTAC monitors the Illinois General Assembly and
the U. S. Congress for proposed actions that concern
us. RTAC Alert Network members have promised
that when asked, they will contact their own legislators, by
telephone, email or letter, on behalf of retired Chicago
teachers. This will not happen more
than 12 times per year. (PLEASE NOTE that because the Illinois
General Assembly does most of its business in the spring or
mid-fall, these contacts are not likely to be evenly spaced over
time.)

To join the E-mail Alert Network:
e-mail your name, e-mail address and zip code to : rtac-webster@outlook.com
WHEN YOU ARE CALLED UPON:
Your call to action will (a) summarize the effects of the legislation being considered, (b) indicate what RTAC recommends and why, and (c) suggest one or two ways to phrase your request. Please do NOT feel limited by these suggestions; your own words usually strengthen your case. One strong caution: NEVER dictate to or threaten your legislator! We are asking for their help; we are in no position to demand it.
HOW SHOULD YOU PREPARE?
Go on line to VoteIllinois (or call 1-888-868-3762) and find out the names, addresses, telephone numbers, etc, of:
- Your two US Senators.
- Your US Congressman (Congressperson?)
- Your State Senator.
- Your State Representative.
When you get your first call to action, PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. A whole bunch of communications arriving all at once attracts a lot more attention than a bunch of straggly ones drifting in at leisure.
YOU WILL BE PART OF RTAC'S VANGUARD
The first line of defense against attack on CPS retirees. At present they are a tiny fraction of the more than 22,000 CPS retirees, but their efforts are beginning to command a lot of attention!
