============================================================================ What the media doesn't want you to know... It is always interesting to see what stories are deemed worthy to report according to the mainstream media. This election cycle they have done a very good job of hiding the real Mitt Romney. Romney was NOT my first choice, but the more I learn about him, the more excited I am about getting to vote for him. He has been portrayed as a rich, out-of-touch, white guy who doesn't care about 47% of this country. He wants dirty air, dirty water and our senior citizens to die quickly. None of these things are true. Here are a few things you probably haven't heard about Mitt Romney: Ballot Initiative to Amend the IL Constitution
I have had a LOT of people ask me for information on the mailing from the Secretary of State about a question that will appear on all Illinois ballots. After reading through the full language of the proposal, I have decided that I will be voting NO on this issue. I have a few concerns. 1.) This does not change much. Most pension increases have passed our General Assembly by large margins, so requiring a slightly larger margin isn't going to stop them if they decide to do so. 2.) This does nothing to fix our pension deficit. It does not address the fact that our pension system is woefully underfunded! So, it is just a ploy to make us THINK they are tackling the problem! 3.) Governor Quinn wants to change our flat state income tax to a progressive tax with 8 tax brackets, the highest being 11%! The IL Constitution requires a flat tax, so, to institute Quinn's progressive tax, they need to amend the IL Constitution. I can't help but think that this "do nothing" pension referendum is just a trojan horse to get support for a Constitutional Convention so that they can try to amend the Constitution to allow a progressive tax. Here is more information on this issue so that you can do your own homework: We need YOU on Sunday, November 4th! (and/or Monday, November 5th) We have only FOUR people out of our membership list of 230+ people signed up to go door-to-door...PLEASE commit to just an hour or two to help with this effort!
This election will determine the course of our country for the forseeable future! We MUST change course, but it will take ALL OF US to make that happen! Now is the time! The Albracht & Morthland campaigns have a get out the vote doorhanger that needs to go out in the Sterling/Rock Falls area on Sunday and Monday, November 5th & 6th. If you can help, please email us or call Rachel at 815-985-9567. I hope to have at least 10 people each day to work in teams and cover a lot of ground in as short a period as possible! Will YOU step up? I haven't seen YOUR letter yet!
Please write a letter to the editor in support of a candidate! It is SO important to speak up in support of those who will try to turn this nation back in the right direction!!! Time is running out!!! (most publications limit election-related letters to 200-250 words) ===============
