We Have Ruffled Some Feathers Now Let's Finish the Job

Our campaign is making the entrenched Republican powers that be in Algonquin Township worried, which is part of the point of this campaign.

In a mailer (pictured on the left) from the Algonquin Township Republican Central Committee Karla Dobbeck the Chairwoman states that "...our Republican Algonquin Township Trustees are in a battle to hold their positions...we have not seen this type of Democratic activity here in Algonquin Township before and need to put a stop to it before it takes hold."

The mailer goes on to ask for money, which is all the current Trustee Board thinks you the citizen is good for. The Republican stranglehold of the Algonquin Township does not want any competition otherwise the could not do as they please and just send you the taxpayer the bill.

We are closing in on the April 7th election date. Let's continue our great efforts and not only ruffle some Republican feathers let's send a real message by voting in 3 new Democratic trustees to the Algonquin Township Trustee Board. Change has come to Algonquin Township; and to Mrs. Dobbeck, Democratic activity has already taken hold and the Republicans need to get used to it.

Getting Close to Victory

We are only a few days from the April 7th elections and we are looking forward to an election day victory. The Get Out The Vote GOTV efforts by our volunteers has been great. We are making contacts with voters through phone contact and door to door conversations. We are consistently greeted with enthusiasm are support. People are glad to meet other independent progressives and Democrats in their community. There are many of us. Many have commented about receiving our post cards in the mail and seeing our signs in their nieghborhoods and in the community. Others have shared that their Republican friends have expressed concern that we are so visible. Well we are very glad to see these results because we want to let other like minded community members that it is time to ask for balanced representation. That is why we are putting our names on the ballot. To give the voters in Algonquin Township a choice of representation. Representation of your interests and values. To provide a balance view on the Trustee Board. Those of you that we have talked to that have had a chance to early vote have been pleased to see a choice of candidates to vote for and have been glad to vote for a democratic choice. Thank you for your support and we will see you on April 7th.
