I started to read what some post .. Im not a political person I avoid these conversations . But today made me realize something .. I guess I dont step up till It effects me directly!!

This man is an idiot! I would like to cut his pork!!!

things he has effected is crazy!

the Union he signed in for my "self employed job" is driving me nuts haggling me to join!

Little back ground I am a self employed person .. I have a home daycare ........ I do take state funded children .. parents that are trying to make a better life - yea well he is making there life hard ..... I see this first hand parents that are basically making min wage ........going to school ......... and have to pay $300 a month for child care ..........they are going to quit they will live on the system in stead of struggling with a child - its going to happen I have seen it!
I also am on the govt food program .. meaning I serve balanced meals I let the state come into my home to watch over what I do .. in return I get a reimbursement check - next to nothing .........but I do this to show my parents I am willing to take the extra steps - guess what this man has not released these checks! ........... any of this type of pay is on hold!

Many of the home daycare are saying make the parents pay to hold there spot we have to pay our bills too- is that right? I have to pay my bills but I can not put a child out because of our Governor!

I think he better pull his head out of the hogs -------- and get into this real world!

His hypocrisy is astounding. Earlier this summer, he had the nerve to pose in front of the children's hospital in Chicago with parents and kids affected by gun violence, talking about gun control legislation. As it turns out, I was right to be cynical. He just cut all funding for Operation Ceasefire in Chicago.

On the news they said he did that because operation ceasefire could not account for over $375,000 of it's donated dollars. It is under audit.

And now he is threatening to veto our seemingly one shot to get out of the pending public transportation debacle that is due to hit the fan in a couple of weeks.

I'm on board with recalling this guy, I didn't vote for him (or Judy) last time. Why on earth can't we have a governor that isn't right out of his or her mind (or who spends his or her time preparing for a vacation in club fed).

I used to live in Illinois. The main problem is that the Republican Party in Illinois is such a disaster that the Democrats think they can roll out any a** clown and they will win. Blago is a troll. I don't know what he smokes on those daily flights to and from Chicago/Springfield every day. It's too bad there is no recall provision in the Illinois Constitution. However, when they re-write it, they will add the Blago-clause, I'm sure. He needs to realize when his goose is cooked. He can't fight the machine of Michael Madigan et al. Lisa Madigan had really have the goods because when Bill Brady runs in 2010, he'll be a tough cookie and the Democrats will look like a bunch of fanciful bickering brats.
