Yeah, I’m pretty disappointed that I can no longer trust anything they say or do. Before this, politics was not even a consideration in our professional relationships.
Yes, it does make you think.
Who’s Tony Preckwinkle? (what a name.)
Chicago
Liberal/left opposition to Social Security privatiza-
tion is organizing in Illinois around the Save Our Security
Illinois Coalition, which includes Chicago DSA. The
Coalition’s first action in Illinois was a 90-person picket
line outside the downtown Chicago offices of the Charles
Schwab brokerage, a major advocate of privatization. A
town hall meeting, with an overflow crowd of 400, on
February 28 at Loyola University’s Water Tower campus
featured Senators Richard Durbin and Barak Obama and
Representative Jan Schakowsky. There was also a major
rally in April.
Chicago DSA endorsed the March 19th National Day
of Action against the war and participated in the local
action that Saturday. The local has also endorsed the “Big
Box Store” ordinance pending before the Chicago City
Council that would require a living wage for those wishing
to build Wal-Mart style operations inside the city limits.
Chicago DSAalso co-sponsored, with the Open University
of the Left and Vietnam Veterans Against the War, a show-
ing of the film Winter Soldiers. The Greater Oak Park DSA
branch is doing a candidate survey of contenders for the
Oak Park Village Board.

"Clearly, the relationship between them, as concluded by many observers, was strong."
Hannity. did you get Hannity?I did
Good. I will too.
I did believe you, I was mainly referring to it being posted in 1996 - way before anyone could have known about a back-bencher named Barack Obama. This is indeed the real deal.
No problem :-) It would be interesting to track down a local newspaper story about the event...I wish I had the time and resources to do so.
Sarah Palin fired a man who refused to fire a wife beating child abuser. Now THAT is news!
... crickets.
No Senator McCain not a good person family man etc. He does not have views that are in the best interest of OUR country.
So many issues with "That One".
You betcha as Sarah says.
