FEBRUARY 9, 2009 PLEASE MAKE THIS A PRIORITY FOR TOMORROW
WHAT: Electoral Board hearings to determine which candidates remain on the ballot for COD Trustee races.
WHEN: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 10th 9 A.M.
WHERE: Student Resource Center Room 2052 at the College of DuPage (map of campus) (general directions)
WHO: Anyone concerned with the future of quality and affordable higher education in DuPage County is encouraged to attend this meeting
WHY: Because you are one of the "whos" above
ISSUES IN BRIEF:
Current COD Board Member Kory Atkinson filed challenges to petitions of almost all of the candidates who were not Republicans.
Objections will be heard by TWO electoral boards, one for each term of office, each headed by an incumbent running for the other term.
The
election code provides for an electoral board and clearly excludes
anyone running for office from being on the electoral board, therefore
the composition of the boards are unfair.
Two incumbents are running for re-election and they have
recruited other candidates to run for the other two vacancies in order
to keep control of the board that is not working in the best interests
of the community.
The candidates (and objectors other than Kory Atkinson) have not received official notice of the hearings in a timely manner and some none at all. - We need a public show of force to reject these tactics so WE NEED YOU TO BE THERE AND TO CALL OTHERS YOU KNOW TONIGHT TO BE THERE AS WELL. PLEASE.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT US AT 630-699-5071 ANY TIME BETWEEN NOW AND 9 A.M. TOMORROW.
