Tell Congressman Kirk It's Time For Solutions

The Department of Justice has filled a lawsuit against Arizona's SB 1070. Now is the time for our leaders to act to implement real solutions. We need to not only stop SB 1070 but fix our broken immigration system.

President Obama cannot do it alone. He needs politicians on both sides of the aisle to put aside partisan politics and do what is right for our families and our country’s future.

Congressman Mark Kirk (IL-10) is currently seeking to represent Illinois in the US Senate. However, at a time when we urgently need federal action to reform our broken immigration laws, he has failed to propose any solutions.

Take a stand against partisan gridlock - send free message to Congressman Kirk!

Tell Cubs Owner Tom Ricketts to move their spring training out of Arizona!
