I got up and went to my polling place this morning on Oak Park, Illinois, and cast my votes in the Republican Primary. I used one of the newer “computer” voting machines. I was voter #1 on my machine, in my precinct. It felt good.
I urge you to go to your polling place and cast your vote today in either party. That’s how the system works, and it works best when all legal citizens participate.
Here is a final video from the candidate I supported for Illinois Governor – Dan Proft.
Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House!
What will she do as speaker in her first 100 hours?
- Boost the minimum wage? The only question is how high, how fast.
- Fiscal discipline? “Remove all doubt. Pay as you go.”
- Research on new embryonic stem cells? Scrap the ban on federal funding.
- Problematic prescription drug coverage for seniors? “We can do something about that.”
- 911 commission recommendations? Approved on Day One.
The list goes on and on of things she’ll get passed by the House and battle to make law.
Now that makes me feel really good and makes it all worthwhile! NOT!
