Re:  Clean Up Campaign Finance Now.
 
Political corruption in Illinois defeats the will of the people and costs the taxpayers millions of dollars. the time for change is now. The first step is campaign finance reform. Please demonstrate to the citizens of Illinois that you put the public interest before the interests of big campaign contributors. We call upon our legislators to act NOW to reform campaign finance reform in Illinois.

Reserve Your Tickets for our
Cubs Rooftop Rally. Don't miss it!
murphy's rooftop

Watching a Cubs game from a rooftop is like nothing  else in baseball. This summer we've got a rooftop lined up for our own private party, Sunday, July 26 to watch the Cubs play Cincinnati.  The view is fantastic and all the food and drinks are included in the ticket price -- just $100. Considering what you would pay for a regular game ticket plus concessions, this is a heckuva deal. The food is better too, brats, burgers and more. And the crowd is the best -- all fellow Democrats.

This is a fundraiser for the NTDO that we hope becomes a summer tradition. It's going to be a lot of fun. Tickets should go fast so reserve yours now. Call Joan Berman at 847-446-8030 -- if she's out of the office, leave a message.
