Friend,

Imagine losing $370 million of your retirement savings just because a politician wanted to make a point.

That’s what Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin just did with YOUR tax dollars.

She pulled nearly $2 billion out of U.S. Treasuries, not because it made financial sense but to make a political statement. That decision has already cost the city more than $370 million in lost investment returns.

U.S. Treasuries protect pensions, stabilize cash flow, and secure city payrolls. Walking away from them to make a political statement is a betrayal of every taxpayer.

She did this without a full financial analysis, without proving the alternatives are safe, and without any transparency. This is how cities collapse when politicians treat public money like a protest sign.

We are sounding the alarm, demanding answers, and building a movement to replace reckless officials with principled, conservative leadership.

This isn’t just a Chicago issue. It’s a wake-up call for every Illinois taxpayer. If we let this slide, they’ll try it in your backyard next.
