| | + | The Liberty Leaders program is developing “spokespeople for liberty” in Illinois by providing citizens with knowledge of free market policies and the know-how to get them turned into law. |
| | + | |
| | + | Besides providing Liberty Leaders with background and key information on why liberty-based policy will work for Illinois, the Liberty Leaders program coaches individuals on effective civic engagement. Here are some |
| | + | examples of how you can get involved: |
| | + | |
| | + | *Write a Letter to the Editor |
| | + | *Contact your legislators |
| | + | *Attend Local Government meetings i.e. Village Board Meetings, Town Halls, County Board Meetings |
| | + | |
| | + | Since the program’s launch in June of 2008, Liberty Leaders have made over $3.5 billion in local taxpayer expenditures transparent and worked to stop a statewide tax increase–and we’re just getting started. |
