Thank you
@RepChuyGarcia for your commitment to lowering drug prices in the Build Back Better plan! Illinoisans agree that now is the time to stand up to big Pharma and let Medicare negotiate for lower Rx prices. #FairRxPricesNow

The ongoing omnibus energy bill negotiations CANNOT continue to exclude consumer advocacy groups. Illinoisans are already millions of dollars behind on their utility bills and need a voice in the room advocating for them. #twill https://t.co/B8jUnEsvHX

[AARP Illinois @aarpillinois]

#Illinois legislators are voting on an energy bill that could significantly raise your utility rates without the public ever seeing it. Call your elected official and tell them it is not ok to leave consumers in the dark during this important discussion. 1-844-220-5552 #twill

[AARP Illinois @aarpillinois]

It’s time to put an end to the rate schemes and bailouts that benefit Exelon and other utilities, while hurting hardworking Illinoisans. Learn more about how you can help urge #Illinois legislators to put ratepayers first: https://t.co/kAgtmmvHMp #twill @ilhousegop @HouseDemsIL
