Politics

Politics. With the upcoming elections and the non-existant "objective" media we have on tv today, it is hard to know the truth about issues. To help you be informed, here is a great website- you can google a senator's name and "on the issues" and look at their actual voting record, sometimes their actions do not reflect their words (at least one canidate!).
I recieved this the other day and thought it was great food for thought:

Chicago
Body count in the last six months:
292 murdered in Chicago
221 killed in Iraq

Our leadership in Illinois: Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Dick Durbin,Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan,Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Mayor Richard Daley .....all Democrats.

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25%, highest in country.

Chicago school system one of the worst in country.

Just food for thought.
