Here's the relevant law: (65 ILCS 5/3.1‑10‑5) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1‑10‑5) Sec. 3.1‑10‑5. Qualifications; elective office. (a) A person is not eligible for an elective municipal office unless that person is a qualified elector of the municipality and has resided in the municipality at least one year next preceding the election or appointment, except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 3.1‑20‑25, subsection (b) of Section 3.1‑25‑75, Section 5‑2‑2, or Section 5‑2‑11. (b) A person is not eligible for an elective municipal office if that person is in arrears in the payment of a tax or other indebtedness due to the municipality or has been convicted in any court located in the United States of any infamous crime, bribery, perjury, or other felony. (c) A person is not eligible for the office of alderman of a ward unless that person has resided in the ward that the person seeks to represent, and a person is not eligible for the office of trustee of a district unless that person has resided in the municipality, at least one year next preceding the election or appointment, except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 3.1‑20‑25, subsection (b) of Section 3.1‑25‑75, Section 5‑2‑2, or Section 5‑2‑11.

There was another dhimmicrat from Chicago who notoriously said, “Words. Only words”.

The law only has value if one respects it. dhimmicrats do not.

The defensive statements issued by Rahm's attorneys are what they are. I maintain that he probably will win the residency battle.

He's a sharp guy that wouldn't have left D. C. to throw his hat into the mayoral ring so confidently if he and the best lawyers in the land hadn't checked things out way beforehand.

If a residency battle boils down to the Chicago Way versus the legal way versus the Rahm way, folks will learn they're all one and the same in this neck of the woods.

With several prominent black candidates in the race, including Carol Mostly Fraud, Rahm is banking on the black vote to split wide open, creating a wide-enough aperature for him to ooze through.

Remember, folks, there is no primary here....it's a one-and-only popular vote election. It's also non-partisan.....with no party affiliation listed beside the candidate's name.

It's a free-for-all with a huge list of names already filed to be on the final ballot.

In the event that no candidate receives more than 50% + 1 of the vote there is a run-off election in April between the two top candidates..

The election is February 22, 2011.

God save Chicago!

The Daily machine was created so no election could win out over them. Mafia rules in the political world in Chicago.
Just remember where Jesse Jackson came from along with others. Jackson was created in Chicago. Mayor Daily was created in Chicago and could not lose an election.
When Chicago was broke because of the polical whores ripping the city off for the sake of their own greed as well as blackmail money constantly being paid out to people like Jackson, he wore imported Italian silk suits, he would go from overhauls to silk suits right in his lemo, in fromt of the Major downdown hotels were the politician, criminals, mafia would hold their meetings. that backmail money also got Jackson his own private plane, some say better than airforce #1. Majore Daily and Judge Austin years ago declared it against the law for suberbs to support themselves. They ripped of Chicago and Chicago now broke they had to get the money from somewhere and so the ripped of the tax dollars from the suberbs and nobody could stop it. Teams of lawyers tried and got noware. I think to this day they are still stealy tax dollars from the suberbs to pay for their coruption.
Suberbs were supporting themselves for over a 100 years when they changed the law that all taxes be paid to the City of Chicago. I no longer live there but I’m sure the stealing of hard working American tax dollars still goes on.
Emanual part of the obozo team to bankrupted the country and bring it to it’s knees, and Act of TREASON. What person in their right mind would vote for anyone that was connacted to that bozo. People in Chicago don’t have to vote, if they want one of the top criminals in the county, Emanual then he will be Mayor. Nevada, New York and California are not much differant, they don’t have to vote. the people in the cemetary do the voting and they all vote for the DemoRATS.
The people in Nevada need to compare votes that were cast to the person that did the voteing. You would find Reid never won any thing. For the longest time Foxnews wasn’t allowed in Navada. they have it now, they only let one cable company in and they had to only allow what the communist left in Nevada would allow.
Rick Lazio the only man with enough nerve, guts what ever you want to call it, that stood up to Hitlary and exposed her for her Terrorist ties. Lazio didn’t win the Senate seat when he ran againt the Tresonist Hitlary, the terrorists funded her campaign and the only thing Lazio got was Death Threats for him and his family. Rick Lazio again ran for Governor and never had a chance. Goumo played a big part in the Clinton corruption, also part of the housing corruption. We have a pimp for a governor and now another criminal will replace him, we have a Dictater for a Mayor and can’t get rid of him. Bloomberg another criminal, a Chavaz want a be don’t have to follow the ruies and now were stuck with the low life the left wants to run this state.
By the way why isn’t every American call for Charlie Rangel to be put in PRISON were he belongs. if the Ethic commitee refuses to remove him and place him under arest that the Ethic commitee needs to be fires and Serve Rangels time in Prison, they are covering up a crime and refusing to allow justice to be served, covering for a crime they are as quilty as the person committing the crimes.
Call, write post and get Rangle put behind bars, the corruption in our government will never stop until Rangle,Dodd and Barney Frank are placed behind bars, then we can go after the rest of them. How long will Barney Frnak the Child molester continue to remain in office He was fould quilty of running a house of Child Prostitution for young boys and yet he remains in office. Did The People in Massatusetts really for this scum or do they also have a daily machine running their elections? The child molester Frank is voted in again? are their Any Parents of little boys in the State were Frank lives and if so why would they want this scum in office? Why do they want him in their state? Why would the people allow Barney Frank to even wonder free in that state? All those priests that went to jail but jet Frank who has molested hundreds or thousands of little boys and he walks free. Thanks to the Ethics commitee for Franks freedon.
It’s a start, call for Rangle to be removed from office prosicuted or remove and prosicute the Ethics commitee.If we can get this scum off the streets perhaps we can follow suit and get the rest of them removed and prosecuted.
