Subject: Cook County Tax Increase
Even if you don't live in Cook County, you probably shop and eat in the city. So please vote against this proposal and ask anybody that you know to do so as well. It only takes seconds. I just did it.
COOK COUNTY is planing to raise the sales tax to 10.25% in November. This will have a negative effect on the lives of consumers in Illinois and obviously, on retail businesses as this will make ours the HIGHEST sales tax rate in the country.
Please take a second to call Todd Stroger's office and petition the increase on the tax!!!!
Please do this now...what do have to lose (other than your money)? I did it and it only took a minute and it is FULLY AUTOMATED!!!! AND EASY.
This takes literally seconds. It only took about 15 SECONDS to punch in my vote.
CALL 1-312 -603-6400.
Press option 1, then option 2, and then VOTE AGAINST INCREASE (OPTION 2)

So, is this ultra confusing or what? Plus, LeRoy Shelton?! What is this, LA?!
The best thing is that now you actually have to call someone to spam yourself. I miss good old Mexico where people still took the time to spam-call you during dinner.
Sigh.
