Government reform starts with each of us

Posted February 25, 2009 10:00 pm

The public (that's us) must get involved in reforming Illinois politics, or it will be politics as usual.

Pam Davis, who blew the whistle on Rod Blagojevich, is just one of a number of non-politicians who were selected as a team created by now-Gov. Pat Quinn to get real reform in Government. Pam Davis, in an article in the Daily Herald, said she believes politicians have been in the system so long that they believe what George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich have done is the way it is and there is nothing wrong with that. I believe she is right and the politicians are wrong. So let's get behind this drive now and return to a system of the people, by the people and for the people. We are the people, hear us roar in numbers too big to ignore.

And what better place to start than right here in the Fence Post.

Let's hear from us, the people.
