41 Co-Sponsors, as of 2/10/13:
Republicans - 31 (76%)
Democrats - 10 (24%)
Where are the names -
Jack Franks (D-63)? 815.334.0063
Mike Tryon (R-66)? 815.459.6453
David McSweeney (R-52)? 847.516.0052
Barb Wheeler (R-64)? 847.973.0064
Give them a call and ask them to co-sponsor HB0997. Ask if they will. Ask when. If they won't, ask why not? Illinois legislators are under a court mandate to pass a law by June 9, 2013. Why should there be any delay?
On the other hand, maybe we shouldn't be working too hard to get a law passed. Then we'd end up with Constitutional Carry. Everybody with a FOID card carries. Concealed or open, and no license.
Editor's note: The following names were added to the above list on 2/10/13. Reps. Davidsmeyer, Mitchell, Sandack, Poe, Brauer, Moffitt, Ives.
You never know who is interested…

Good luck finding maps? It took me about 10 seconds on google:
Maps on google maps:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=http:%2F%2Filhousedems.com%2Fredistricting%2F2011-maps%2FSenate_Bill_1177_Amendment_2%2Fab9Plan0520.kmz&aq=&sll=39.797399,-89.664939&sspn=0.014294,0.018132&ie=UTF8&z=7
Or just PDFs:

Dave, glad you found those maps in 10 seconds. They look like 2011 maps and not from a State website, such as the Illinois State Board of Elections.
The 2013 Districts may be different and, in some cases, are different.
Ummm...no, the maps are not different. Those are the current legislative maps that were done in the once-a-decade 2011 remap process after the census.
But if you want maps from the State Board of Elections, you could just go to the ISBE website and search for maps. Another 10 second search, and it got me this:

Isn't clarity of communication wonderful?
What I was looking for was a State map of the districts, not District maps of their own territories.
Gee, couldn't you read my mind? : )
Thanks for your help, Dave. Through the link you provided, someone can look up the boundaries of a specific district.
