Video from the Chicago Tea Party
I had the pleasure of speaking with Commissioner Peraica at the Tea Party last Friday. It was great to see so many concerned citizens taking time off work to take a stand for a government that is accountable to them and responsible using our tax dollars.
A general video of the protest can be found here.
My speech can be found here.
Next tea party is on April 15th. Hope to see everyone there!
Illinois Policy Institute’s Transparency Pledge
IPI is asking all elected officials and candidates to sign on to their transparency pledge.
Numerous individuals wanting to open up government to the voters are signing on to the pledge. The time to make those in office accountable and all revenue and expenditure data available to the taxpayers is now.
A pdf version of the pledge can be found here. More information on the “Open Illinois” project can be found here.
Keep in mind those pledging their support for transparency and always work to make sure they stay true to a government that works for you - the taxpayer, the citizen.
