interest before the interests of big campaign contributors. We call
upon our legislators to act NOW to reform campaign finance reform in
Illinois. xxTo add your name click -- here -- then type "I want reform now!" and your name in the email subject line and hit "send." xxJoin the

Reserve Your Cubs Rooftop Party Tickets While You Can! |
Last week, we announced plans for an NTDO Cubs Rooftop Rally, July 26, to watch the Cubs play Cincinnati. That may sound like a long way off but tickets are limited so don't put it off -- especially if you plan to bring several friends. The view is fantastic and all the food and drinks are included in the ticket price -- beer, brats, burgers and much more. All for just $100. Compared to the price of a regular game ticket plus concessions, what a deal! Watching a Cubs game from a rooftop is like nothing else in baseball so tickets will be going fast. Don't miss the event of the summer! Call Joan Berman at 847-446-8030 -- if she's out of the office, leave a message or click --here -- to email your reservation (name, phone number, number of tickets). |
