Alcohol Action Alert
Oppose Sunday Sales of Alcohol

July 18, 2006

An ordinance to legalize Sunday morning sales of alcohol in Springfield will be discussed in the Public Affairs Committee on Monday, July 31, at 5:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. We need many people to attend this committee hearing. If the city of Springfield increases the hour of alcohol sales, it will impact all of Sangamon County and increase underage drinking.

We need to stop the ordinance from being voted out of committee. If the committee approves the ordinance, the City Council could vote on the ordinance on August 1, at 5:00 p.m. Your help is needed to generate calls to the City Aldermen who serve on the public affairs committee:

Alderman Ward Phone
Chuck Redpath 4 523-5862
Frank Edwards 1 529-0973
Mark Mahoney 6 544-7944
Thomas Selinger 9 793-2072
Judy Yeager 7 793-1766

For Immediate Action

  1. Call the Alderman on the Public Affairds Committee and ask them to oppose the Sunday morning sales of alcohol in Springfield.
  2. Plan to attend the July 31 meeting in the City Council Chambers at 5:00 p.m.
  3. Share this Alert with your Church, friends, neighbors, and family.
