C.L.I.C.K. for Justice & Equality

C.L.I.C.K. for Justice and Equality is an agent of change alerting our social community of injustices and inequalities among the underserved, disadvantaged, and disenfranchised individual or group. A disadvantaged or disenfranchised person or group is anyone who is socially, culturally, and politically deprived of or oppressed from life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Change takes place through our legislative body of Senators and State Representatives, not from the Judicial bench.

Governor Quinn Signs Legislation to Save MAP Grants
Covers Second Semester Funding for 138,000 Illinois College Students

Governor Pat Quinn today signed legislation to cover critical second-semester MAP funding for nearly 138,000 eligible students. Senate Bill 1180 appropriates full funding for the need-based student aid program, allowing both students and colleges to plan for the Spring 2010 college term.

Governor Quinn and the Illinois Legislature could have found the funding if they eliminated the drug program at Sheridan Correctional Center, which is complete waste of Illinois taxpayer funds. Governor Quinn should let Sheridan Correctional Center become a "regular" prison as it was designed when built. Sheridan Correctional Center is not reducing recidivism to any significant degree that the regular prison experience would produce.
