How about an update? Have any been received? What's the estimate so far?
can they be hand delivered or messengered?
Sgt Northen
got my receipt. Thanks. If u change your mind and need a hand, let me know.
Masters
My guess you get about 300 signatures. Remember how we were all going to come together to vote out the judge who released the Hatch girls??!!! That judge won retention by 83%. Sorry SCC, I appreciate the effort but coppers are all talk, and blog posting, but no action.
SIGN ME UP! Blah blah blah....never was gonna happen. You are all talk
I SURE HOPE EVERY P.O. DID HIS/HER PART BY SIGNING.
Regardless of the amount of signatures that are obtained they should be binded and filed. If they are filed without the amount of required signatures a challenge still needs to be filed. The challenge would be successful. THE POINT WOULD BE ABOUT WHO CHALLENGES THE PETITIONS, WHICH COULD BRING MORE MEDIA ATTENTION CONCERNING THE CAUSE.
I hate to be negative. But I have a feeling that the po's of this department are gonna let us down-again.
SIGN ME UP! Blah blah blah....never was gonna happen. You are all talk
And what does that make you? At least we made the effort. Asshat.
Can I get an event #?
Ain't gonna happen, why bother. I even quit voting years ago too. The end is near.
DO IT THE ACORN/CHICAGO WAY!!!
The reason there are so many doubters of the petition is because we put this together at the last minute and logistically the odds are against us, however, if by chance the petition is not successful we, as a team, still accomplished something important. We got the ball rolling!
What if next time we put the same petition together 6-8 months in advance and we do get double or even triple the number of signatures (because time is on our side). Watch how many people try jumping onto the cause once they know it's going to happen.
No matter what the outcome is my hat (if I wore one) is off to both the blog and Sgt. Northen for their hard work.
Sincerely,
Mike Masters
I signed. I know they are also being signed and passed around by C.F.D.
SCC,
Thank-You!!!
Talk is cheap, you walk the walk and do a Thankless job.
There are alot of coppers working on this, don't let the Daleyites discourage meaningful CHANGE.
GOODLUCK,DA CHICAGO WAY WILL TRY SOMETHING!
How about the next petition is make the mayoral seat of Chicago a TWO TERM LIMIT!

Thanks for your great effort SCC.
Truth be told, the requird amount of signatures will not be collected. However, if next time another attempt is made at the earliest, possible time allowed, it might just happen.
I think this time was a little too late to get anything substantial accomplished. You would need more time to advertise, prepare, and co-ordinate the effort.
I hope i'm wrong and something substantial is accomplished.
I already have about 500 signatures and am going to get them notarized today and then mail them out!!!!
"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation..
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
Adrian Rogers, 1931
The movement started too late
Just photocopy the CR list and get it notarized.
SIGN ME UP! I didn't mean this sight I mean all the people who were so for it and didn't do a thing. It's a typical copper move...don't be so sensative.
Loads of luck. It would be nice to reduce the size of the alderscum.
God Bless the CPD and nobody else.

OT--
Got a letter from Bill Cozzi today.
He said to tell everybody that the FOP has been "really great and 100% supportive of me, as far as sending things."
He said you cannot send food, and he likes the following authors:
--John Stanford
--Nelson DeMille
--Lee Childs
Also, he can receive magazines and newspapers, but they have to be sent from the publisher. He really wants to get the Tribune, so I am going to find out how to get it sent to him. If anyone has any contacts at the Trib, please post for me.
Also, for any techie people, is there a way to set up a website where people can post what they send so we are not duplicating subscriptions or whatever? He said you can't send food.
Don't anyone forget, anyone of us could be in his shoes. Please send him letters and cards.
He describes the place as "the front gate to hell."
CS--
a number would be helpful!!
if you are close more may help...
One CFD member I talked to got over 300 signed names himself.It can be done.
we should be collecting petitions to recall and oust the fop.....why wasts our time on alderscum and pisss them off. all they will do is to try get even with us...they have the time . i agree with the term-limit poster... thats what we need to shoot for!

I have all of the Lee Childs "Jack Reacher" books. Where do I send them. I am sorry if I missed a previously posted address.
Off topic:
Twenty years ago, the Berlin Wall fell. For those of us who stayed up for hours, watching the impossible finally occur, it was heart-wrenching. We feared for the lives of those first few who dared to climb atop it and we feared for those who began to take picks and hammers to it.
We cheered and cried in our warm, safe living rooms as it became evident the East german government would not retaliate, would not machine-gun its own people to death, as it had hundreds of times before.
Today, the East Germans can - and do - take their freedom for granted again. But some of us remember the painful, pointless wall and how it destroyed the dreams and the lives and the futures of so many who happened to be imprisoned on the wrong side of it.
We are SO lucky to live in this country, whatever its faults.
No matter what the outcome is my hat (if I wore one) is off to both the blog and Sgt. Northen for their hard work.

Exactly. It sure will get peoples attention.
everyone can print up just one list, and sign it, and have their voting aged city dwellers sign it, and send it to Sgt. Northern. I don't think the whole sheet has to be full, each signature is what counts, not the number of sheets received, so please send em even if only one or two signatures are on your sheets. Every signature counts, and remember, these are the Vermin who want you to take off unpaid days, while they continue to steal and spend and WASTE YOUR tax-dollars without Accountability of any sort, inttheir utter ARROGANCE
PLEASE KEEP POSTING THE SGTS. NAME AND ADDRESS TO RETURN THE FORMS TO UNTIL THE DEADLINE, THANKS...
If the I.G needs help just let them come in and pass out their cards. We all know the "GHOST SPOTS " and it's time to let the TAXPAYERS know just how unprotected they are!
Off the topic alittle: Daley was quoted in the Scumtimes.........."That's why we're going through arbitration on the whole increase [for police officers]. There was 16 percent on the table over five years. They said it wasn't enough. They want 25 or 30 [percent]. That's a lot of money. Taxpayers have to pay it," he said.

SO YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF PART OF THE SOLUTION!
YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ALLOWED TO DISCUSS POLITICS.
The aldermen's expense allowance more than doubled in 2008 to $73,280 each from $33,280. Half of the city's 50 aldermen spent more than $70,000 of last year’s allowance. The municipal code of the City of Chicago defines appropriate uses for the allowance but allows broad discretion by the City Council members. Oversight is minimal. Aldermen are merely told to ensure that their spending is legal.
Aldermen spent $132,788 on automobile leases, $28,186 on downtown parking spots and $11,277 on bottled water. The city last year allocated up to $3.7 million for expenses; aldermen spent $3.1 million.
I mailed in about 100 signatures today... 10 pages and it was easy. I just ran out of time because there was not enough advance notice. Maybe next time. Only cost a buck for postage.
ON TOPIC: GJ to all who are helping and TYVM to Sgt. Northern You are worth those stripes.
OFF TOPIC: Saw the news about poor DDavis not running in CCBP race, OH Well. I did like the Islamic Militants behind him for Congress. Also, seems Mell's daughter may not be able to run because she filed inaccurate info on her sig sheets GO ACORN!
And last but not least, they mentioned everyone on ticket for CCBP race except our own John Garrido. Make sure you consider him this upcoming election season.
TY that is all...Be Safe

Everyone in the city is in Daley's pocket! IG? Give me a break! Smoke and mirrors is all we ever see! Rumors that never become reality! It is all a big joke on all of us so just sit back and enjoy! You can't beat City Hall continues to be true! Now that O'Bama is in, lawdy lawdy, we in a heap a trouble! Mercy me!

People, let's remember that H1N1 is no more deadly than other influenza strains. Do your research and stop letting the media and Obama feed you.

The IG does not investigate police. Never had never will. We have IAD for that.
The proper method is to amend the Stae Statue regerding the composition of Aldermen. I suggest SCC, or its appointed represetatives contact, the Senate and House Minority Leaders (Ragdono and Cross) to have this come about. The law needs to be amended.

I don't know about H1N1 but there is an epidemic of Idon'tgiveafuckitis going around that may just transmogrify into the incurable strain of the disease.

Doubt it, the IG is for non police city agencies, if IAD or the states attorney office isn't involved its all bs.
Would be nice though.

This is the problem with today's media. Get out of the office and investigate it yourself. But of course, you are probably part of the new age media who wants to change the world, not report facts.
What the hell is the Womens Tactical Assc?!

the inspector general has no authority to investigate police officers or the police dept so i wave the bulshit flag
I am a member of the CFD. Friday there was a promotional party at Burbon St and over 100 signitures were obtained. Also I have 12 full sheets and a friend of mine(cfd) turned in over 400 last week.
It's not over yet guys. There is still time.

The wagon crew on afternoons was infected with this stain of the flu. If you have to use their truck for anything always wash your hands.
