I will be at Coffee Chicago at Broadway and Berwyn from 11 AM to 12 noon this Sunday. Please come to pick up a packet either to do a precinct in the 40th Ward or to do the commuter blitz next Monday.

If you would like to do your flyering in the 40th immediately on Sunday, but need a ride there, we can arrange it. If you can do flyering at the "L" on another day than Monday, we can arrange that too. If you have a preference for a particular "L" station (from Loyola to Argyle), please let me know. If you can, please let me know in advance so that I have an idea who to expect Sunday.

Next Sunday, Feb. 19, is our first volunteer rally and canvassing day in support of our endorsed and adopted candidate. Please do everything you can to recruit volunteers to attend. Remember that they will hear from Forrest Claypool, Debra Shore, and Martha Mills. So, this would be a great opportunity to invite friends, neighbors, co-workers, members of groups you belong to.

Please encourage them to RSVP or RSVP for them. Thanks.

Board of Elections (69 W. Washington)
10 AM and 4 PM this week
Contact Adam Gypalo at 847-975-8966

Frank Palmer and I helped at the Board of Elections (69 W. Washington ) Saturday. It's an
amazing process where the Board opens up their database to all
campaigns to send in representatives to verify petition signatures.
Something like 50-100 people were there today, the largest contingent
apparently sent by Mike Madigan to check on challengers to Tom Dart
for Sheriff. Deb's campaign had us check signatures on a candidate
they are considering challenging (a woman who is believed to have been
thrown into the mix so that Deb would not stand apart as the only
woman on the ballot). The idea is that after this process, if a
candidate seems vulnerable at this stage, they can be challenged and
possibly removed as an opponent.

Deb's campaign is asking for volunteers to continue this.
So, if you have some time between 10 AM and 4 PM this week, please let them
know. Contact Adam Gypalo at 847-975-8966. It's one way we can help
that is incredibly easy, a little work at a computer for a few hours.
And, it's an amazing eye-opening exposure to the inner workings of our
political system.
