Mitchell: How Rahm Emanuel won black voters - Chicago Sun-Times
Mitchell: How Rahm Emanuel won black voters - Chicago Sun-Times
A special note for anyone considering a run for public office. It's all about JOBS, and making the city, state, and country work together, "not the color of your skin, but the content of your character".
This is a very good article for anyone considering politics to take a look at.

Gov. Pat Quinn scales back budget cuts after protests - chicagotribune.com
Gov. Pat Quinn scales back budget cuts after protests - chicagotribune.com
Well, what this Governor really needs to do is go back to Clinton-era taxation. The wealthy must pay their fair share. They have gotten off for 10+ years not helping this country, and now is the time for this madness to stop.
The rich have shipped our jobs overseas with the blessing of presidents since the 80's. Under President Eisenhower they paid nearly 80% in taxes. Now they are down to 33%. But that's not good enough for them. They want everything from the air we breath to the water we drink, de-regulated so they can poison, and pollute. They must pay their fair share. They must have their taxes raised back to 1990 levels. If they don't like it, well, let's be like that dictator of a governor in Wisconsin, and never compromise. We must insist on bringing back taxes to those levels. This is the only way these greed merchants will finally get the message.
Raise taxes back to 39% on the wealthy 2%. They can afford it. Don't fall for that lame excuse of doing such will kill jobs. So far the GOP hasn't brought forth one idea/solution for creating one single job. All they have done is re-ignite the Culture Wars, attacks on women, and gave away tax cuts to the rich. Please, don't ever vote for them again.
Raise Taxes On The Wealthy. They have had a free ride for over a decade.

State Sen. 'Hollywood' Hendon resigns
State Sen. 'Hollywood' Hendon resigns
This is a very interesting article, and in an odd sort of way, this lady hit the proverbial nail on the head.
This is her quote:
At the statehouse, Collins said Hendon was disappointed with Tuesday's election results.
“People didn't come out. Down here we can't help our community. It's dying,” she said. “All the resources, they're steadily cutting back resources in our community. They're going to cut human services, all of the stuff that people in our community need. So when they come to our office for help, we're down here.
“We raised their taxes, but now we want to cut all their services. Well people with substance abuse, mental health treatment, those are people that affect our community. People in prison going home, yet they increase the… Department of Corrections budget. But they're planning to decrease all the other budgets.
Collins suggested the message is “our children aren't important,” particularly with budget proposals to cut programs that help teens after school.
“When you can’t help our community … you feel impotent as an elected official,” she said.

Wis. governor pranked by caller posing as donor - chicagotribune.com
Wis. governor pranked by caller posing as donor - chicagotribune.com
Well the truth is something for all of us to behold.
We all know this guy is nothing more than a shill for big corporations. This prank proves the GOP and corporations utter disdain for working men and women. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I will never vote for people of such ilk. They don't want anything from you besides servitude. The people of Wisconsin should not have to wait a year just to throw this corporatist out on his rear. He is just plain sleazy, and uncaring, with this conversation caught on tape.
I warned you all about the GOP and corporate backed Teabaggers. They want to strip mine this country, and leave it looking like Haiti. Go through your history books and look at what they did to this country leading up to the Great Crash of 1929. They are doing it all over again. Yes you will have all those blowhards on television pleading this is not the case, but you only have to "KNOW THY HISTORY" and see for yourself, they are lying.
With this conversation caught on tape, it is now confirmed what any rational person suspected all along. The GOP, and corporations are out to destroy decent hard working Americans.
