Kirk will speaking, along with Tom Roesser, at the Republicans of Wheeling Twp. monthly meeting next Saturday morning at 8:30. I am sure you could get some face time with Kirk, although Ruth might not take too kindly to you embarrassing the congressman ... it's a committeeman thing.
The only way to run an ogranization.
A person who volunteers for the organization should be allowed to ask questions. Any questions from a person who lives outside the township and has not volunteered for the organization should be deferred to the end of the meeting when everybody wants to leave.
There is no value in a person embarassing our friends like Ruth or putting a Mark Kirk type on the hot seat if that person isn't going to do anything about it. Itis no different than the UN passing dozens of resolutions with no plans to enforce them.
Speak softly. Carry a big stick. Let the stick do the talking ... if it has credibility.
