Illinois racing needs your support!

Dear Arlington Park Racing Fan:

The General Assembly passed a bill (SB 744) on May 31 that will authorize electronic gaming (slot machines) at Illinois racetracks. This bill will help:

Save Illinois horse racing
Create new jobs
Provide much needed revenue to the State

The bill needs to be signed into law by Governor Quinn. We need to tell the Governor our support of this bill and he needs to hear from individual Illinois residents. If you have not already done so, please assist by sending a letter to the Governor at the following address:

The Honorable Pat Quinn Governor
State of Illinois Office of Constituent Affairs
401 S. Spring St. Springfield, Illinois 62706

Please include the bill number (SB 744), the reason why he should sign it and sign the letter with your address.

Written hard-copy letters are preferred by the governor's office but you can send an e-mail as well by filling out the form at his website at this link:

In addition, if you could spare one minute of time to take the following poll and show your support for expanded gaming - this too can only help our cause. The link to take the poll can be found here:
