Grassroots Groups Meet To Combine Efforts

Jack Koenig, Chairman of The Impact Voters of America, has announced that
the affiliated group of grassroots organizations known as The Impact
Alliance will meet at the Comfort Inn O'Hare, in Rosemont IL on July 27,
1997 at 1:00pm. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss and expand =
on
the synergies and relationships built while fighting Edgar's "Education"
initiative. In addition to the original groups fighting the proposed inco=
me
tax increase, similar organizations have been also invited to attend. Dem=
's
and =91Pub's, conservative and liberal, pro-life and pro-choice will leav=
e
their "pet" issues at the door and concentrate on better government,
developing effective networking techniques, and the installation of a 12
member Steering Committee.=20

The primary purpose of the all important Steering Committee will be to
select future issues on which The Impact Alliance will focus. These issue=
s
may include referendum initiative, supermajority requirements for tax
increases, government arrogance and similar matters. Although the Steerin=
g
Committee will perform most of their work over the phone, through faxes,
e-mail, snail mail, etc., they will meet at least once quarterly... more
often if conditions warrant. At no time will divisive issues such as
abortion, gay rights, gun control, etc. be addressed. These are better le=
ft
to groups whose main agenda covers those points.

Some of the invited organizations, most of which have confirmed, include:

Citizens Advocacy Center			Heartland Institute
Illinois Coalition of Western Lake County	Illinois Family Institute
Illinois Citizens Action			Illinois Businessmen's Assn
Illinois Forum					Taproots=09
Impact Voters of America 			Republicans For Fair Media
National Taxpayers United of Illinois		Sovereignty
Allied Residents Concerning O'Hare
Illinois Public Interest Research Group=20
Midwest Citizens For Immigration Reform
R.E.A.C.H (Rockford Educating All Children)=09

In addition, at least one mayor, a former gubernatorial candidate, a
current gubernatorial candidate, several committeemen, various school boa=
rd
members, and other associated concerned citizens will be in attendance. D=
ue
to space limitations, participation by any group is limited to three memb=
ers.

Impact Line at 847-948-1158.
