This is a non-partisan political commentary on Illinois politics but I believe it applies across the nation. 

POLITICAL CLOUT?  VOTE THEM OUT!

The arrogance of our elected officials never ceases to amaze me.  In the face of voter discontent over the mishandling, mismanaging and outright lining of their own pockets with our money, they continue to play the same old political games.  They are so infected with the viral lies they have spread that they actually believe them.  To appease us, they call for change but continually thwart those that they themselves have appointed to implement said change.  In response to our (taxpayers) calls for openness (our right to know what our elected officials are doing and how our money is being spent), they are scrambling to further reduce transparency and accountability. 

Our elected officials are ‘political machine’ power drugged rats that do not care that the ship is sinking because they will abandon us in the eleventh hour in life rafts that we’ve paid for leaving us to drown in the aftermath of their ‘political clout’.

It is time to show them that we are not ignorant, that we are not stupid and that even those of us that do not have a formal education have street smarts and common sense.  We have been complacent far too long - drugged by the seductiveness and insidiousness of their lies.  We are waking up to the fact that the emperor has NO clothes.  And contrary to what we have been led to believe, WE are the emperor!!!!  It is our hard earned money that has been wasted and stolen from us and our children and grandchildren. 

It is time to stop the ‘political machines’.  It is time to shout ‘we the people’!!!

POLITICAL CLOUT?  VOTE THEM OUT!

In Illinois, tell your state legislators that you oppose Senate Bill 3336 and any future attempts to reduce government transparency and accountability.

We, the People!!!!!
