"Bad Politicians are elected by good people who don't vote"
The quote has never had more significance than in this February Primary and November General Elections of 2010. A few reminders as to why your vote is important today: We live In a state whose indicted governors have led us to become the laughing stock of the nation. We live In a state whose finances border on the brink of insolvency. We live In a county whose sales tax is the highest in the nation (yet fails to efficiently deliver the basic services needed for those that most need them). Our property taxes seem to go up, yet our home values go in the opposite direction
Complaints without action are nullified if you do not vote. So as a reminder, make the time to vote today. Polls open at 6:00am and close at 7:00pm.
Don't know who is running? Where the candidates stand on the issues? The Chicago Tribune offers a good pro/con on the different candidates.

You can build a sample ballot and take it with you to our polling place. (Wilson Park Fieldhouse 1121 W. 34th Place).
For more information on the election process or polling place information visit the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners website for details.
The status quo would like you to think that this primary election is insignificant. Staying home and not voting validates that thought.
VOTE TODAY!
