Voter Voice Grassroots Action Center
VoterVOICE
Welcome to the IRTA's Grassroots Action Center. IRTA utilizes proven Internet-based technology tools from VoterVOICE to launch and manage grassroots lobbying campaigns and other governmental affairs activities. In the future, IRTA may need your help in contacting elected officials on important issues. At that time IRTA will provide you with a link to the Grassroots Action Center. Once you click on that link, the system will guide you through the process of sending a message to the appropriate elected officials for that issue. This process will only take a few clicks of your mouse to complete, but it is an extremely effective method of mobilizing IRTA members across Illinois into action. It requires very little time from individual members but has an enormous impact combined with the amplified voices of many members. Using your business and/or home address(es), the system automatically matches you to your corresponding political districts.
In the future if IRTA needs you to contact elected officials on a specific issue, they will send you an 'Action Alert' email with a link at the bottom of that email. Just click on the link and it will immediately take you to a summary for that specific issue. You will then reach a registration form, which will already contain your contact information. Make any necessary modification, but otherwise you can just click 'Continue' at the bottom of the page (Information contained in your record is stored on secure servers and is inaccessible to anyone outside IRTA staff). Finally, you will be matched to the appropriate elected officials for that specific issue, as well as provided with a message to send off to those elected officials. Simply click 'Send Message' at the bottom of the page. That's it!
Thank you for your interest and desire to be involved in the Grassroots Action Center. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

HOW TO REGISTER FOR VOTER VOICE
VoterVoice is a vital tool; however, Jim Bachman said sometimes fewer than half our members respond when all they have to do is push “submit.” Get excited about our organization! Let’s sell ourselves. We represent retired teachers and educators. As in the lame duck session, time is of the essence, and VoterVoice allows you to contact legislators in a timely fashion.
For quick access to your legislator and to receive CALL TO ACTION notifications:
1. Go to www.irtaonline.org
2. Go to “Member Login”
3. Select “VoterVoice”
4. Choose “Please click here to go to VoterVoice”
5. Create a profile if you have not already done so to allow the program to identify your legislators.
After your initial login, you will only have to put in your email address to log on once you are in VoterVoice. Then you may respond with a Call to Action prewritten message or write your own at any time. If you have difficulty, call Tricia at 1-800-660-3326. She will be happy to help you register, or send me your name, and I will get you registered. Marge Sucansky – [email protected]
