Illinois Constitutional Convention

Lady_MCSE · 10-31-2008, 05:50 AM

I guess this is a "political thread," but I don't think it's one that will start up a raging flaming war, so I'm going to try it.

I watched a special last night about the call for the Illinois Constitutional Convention. The question will be on November 4's ballots in Illinois, and I hadn't made up my mind yet (until last night).

So I just thought I'd help spread the word, to educate other Illinois people in the last 5 days or so before the election. If you really want to start a discussion on it, I suppose we could, but be sure ot keep it civil!

(Note, I'm not even putting my leanings down here, just giving info. You can tell by my avatar where my political leanings are, but this particular issue is not very clear along party lines, there are supporters and opposers from both sides.)
