Dear Illinois Voters,

The General Election is fast approaching. On November 2, 2010, we will have the opportunity to
elect men and women who will represent us in public office, making decisions on critical issues of
the day in Springfield and Washington, D.C., for the next two to six years. It’s important that you
be fully informed on where the candidates stand on issues that are important to you and you family.
That’s precisely the purpose of this Voter Guide. It’s a service provided every election season by the
Illinois Family Institute. The Voter Guide is a compilation of information gathered from impartial
candidate questionnaires, web sites, voting records and publicly articulated positions.
We hope this Guide will be a help to you. Will you prayerfully consider sending a tax-deductible
donation to IFI to help offset the cost of this important service? For more information call
708-781-9328 or visit us at www.illinoisfamily.org.

Be an informed and educated voter!

Use this Voter Guide to confidently cast your vote on Tuesday, November 2nd!
