FOP Pushing Hard for Chico
- There will be a First Responders Rally for Mayoral Candidate Gery Chico on Wednesday, February 9th. The rally will take place at 115 Bourbon Street from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Come out and meet and greet one on one with our next Mayor. Tell, text, or just bring your friends.
A comment said that tickets were $25 and of that, $10 was headed to one of the Police Memorial Funds, but the FOP site doesn't say which one. Can anyone verify?
Also, this one:
Also, this one:
- Come out and support the FOP endorsed candidate for the Mayor of the City of Chicago, Gery Chico.
The Lodge will be hosting a phone bank at the FOP Hall to support Gery Chico's campaign for Mayor. This event will take place on Thursday, February 10th from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
All members are invited to volunteer and attend this event. Refreshments will be served. Please contact Mary Pat at 312-733-7776 to volunteer.

Can't even get cops to vote. Do you think they will donate time or money? Sad but true. That's why the police endorsement doesn't carry much weight.
I was sent an email by Local 2 that said the money goes to the 100 of cook county. The group of business men that help with the finacial needs of police & ff that die in the line of duty
Because Chico is going to hire "thousands" of new police officers. He said so in his commercial.
Chico all the way.....put a end to residency!!!!!
I'm in we need to do what it takes to get Chico in and once he is in then we can get out to a suburb
I'm going. I heard he's buying the first round.
The extra $10 goes to the One Hundred Club
Bad Timing!
There was supposed to be a private screening of THE CHICAGO CODE at the same time.
Suggestion: CHICO makes a stop there too.
burke is out for burke vote for rahm and lets get rid of ed burke for the good of the city let him drive to work like we all do everday fuck his detail of 10 people and his new car ever 6 months
We ALL need to be pushing hard for Chico!
And what about the Teacher's Union? Why
haven't they backed one of the candidates
yet? What are they waiting for?
I think the FOP realizes if "Dead Fish" becomes Mayor.......Were fucked!
Can someone verify the rumors going around about Rahm going to firehouses stating he is going to f---- w. the police and fireman that currently are on pension. His uncle, retired sgt. must wonder about his nephew now the one he worked so hard to get elected.
The battle is over. Accept Rahm as your new emperor.
We're wasting our time. Emanuel will unfortunately win. This is crooked Chicago politics. Emanuel is way ahead....
No Rahm!!!!!!!!
Chico (once again) 'clarified' his position on residency.
(Sunday Ch. 7 )
He again stated he would merely put it on the table and look at it.
He still has my vote.
The extra sawbuck will go to the 100 Club. They have served our fallen family members over 40 years.
A vote for Chico is a vote for Ed Burke. The Chicago way....
IMPRESSIVE!
FINALLY SOMEONE OVER THERE FIGURED OUT AN ENDORSEMENT IS MORE THAN TAKING A GROUP PICTURE IN YOUR SUNDAY BEST.
We dont need another extra short.
Chico did not say he would " hire two thousand" cops, he said he would " add two thousand cops to the street". I think there is a difference. And, no matter who wins, if you do not see dramatic changes in our pension fund, it will go away for everybody. Remember what someone said about a politicians promises, they are like a cigarette package, easy to see thru and made to be broken.
Be careful what you wish for...
You didn't like Devine and you got Alvarez
You didn't like Daley and...
Sadly, Carol Mosley Braun was the only one to say out loud what is pretty obvious:
No residency, Chicago loses its Middle Class
No Middle Class, no one to pay taxes "to support the community'
No taxes, no paycheck or pensions
No paycheck or pension you lose that shiny new suburban house
All the choices S**K, but think long and hard before you decide
I have called to say I will help with the phone bank on Thursday. You must use your own phone so bring the charger. You can stay for as long as you want and I suggest that you read up on Chico because, from experience, people you call will sometimes ask questions about his stand on things or background. We want to be fully knowledgable as you should be for any candidate. That was where people went wrong with Obama. They didn't study his lack of background.
Interesting... All the dog ad's on the super bowl, Rahm how much would you tax them for cleaning the dog's before filming the ad's?
Rahm = TAX
TAX = RAHM
Hey Chico is going to bring the Superbowl here, hire more police officers and end residency. He has my vote hands down.
What about us who work the 3rd watch in D.O.G. 63 who can not make it, what else can we do for Chico?
Go Chico Go!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE VOTE Brother's & Sister's!
CHICO and THIS CITY NEED US
OT. The new ads Rahm has make me sick. I quote " government is not an employer, it's a servant. We need to get the best price for our tax payers,including in police service." So you want us to work for the least about possible? Screw you Rahm! Of course, people in this city will fall for it. He will win because the people of this city are just that clueless. Look at how long they re elected Daley.
I think the FOP screwed the pooch again. You think you'll get a BETTER deal from Rahm after endorsing Chico? That's stupid. Now Rahm sees the police as being unfriendly, and he's going to win, with or without police votes.
Also, Chico can't get rid of residency. It is a state law.
*** Breaking News ***
Ill Att. Gen. Lisa Madigan has filed suit against the Police Pension fund to keep John Burge from receiving his pension. Just saw it on ABC7 news.
yea, vote for rahm to f#@* with burke? What about your pension JAG-BAG. Chico's the guy, don't beleive the News Media
Speaking of residencey? Why cant there be a 20 yr residencey rule. After 20 yrs you can then move out of the city since your staring to make plans for retirement and a new life outside of this job. The city gets 20 yrs of residencey and then we can leave if we like. Any thoughts?
burke is out for burke vote for rahm and lets get rid of ed burke for the good of the city let him drive to work like we all do everday fuck his detail of 10 people and his new car ever 6 months
2/07/2011 06:18:00 AM
You are the biggest fucking idiot on the planet. You want to vote for Rahm so he gets rid of a security detail while he also gets rid of your pension?
Morons like you are what are destroying this department. You are clearly too stupid to be allowed to carry a weapon. Turn yourself in to Rahms anti-gun agents after he gets in.
Now go get your fucking shine box.
hey 19th wward residents----matt oshea is AGAINST chico and is FOR rahm. remember that when you vote for your drinking buddy
Watch how fast he gets amnesia if he wins.

**************************
Yeah, right. It's this kind of retarded thinking that's gotten us where we are today.
You go ahead and vote for the great fucktard Emanuel because you don't like Ed Burke's detail, idiot.
And while you're at it, when Chico wins, why don't you just sign over your pension to me, because you're obviously too stupid to see more than a foot in front of you, kid.
To the asshole who is obsessed with Burke.....get over it! You couldn't be more wrong about getting Rahm into office.....Rahm is not for the city.....Rahm is for Rahm getting elected President on your backs and wallets!
I don't get why Chico is the best of the pack all of a sudden. Is he just the best of the worst? And why are we supposed to NOW listen to FOP- it's not like they've made great choices for its members over the past few hundred years! Nah... think I'll write-in my vote.
Chico will lose, Rahmmie the Commie will win, and CPD officers will face his wrath. Chico will devalue all City property owners property if he allows city employees to live outside the City.
O.T. kind of. I retired from the job 3 years ago. I pay in to be a member of FOP. Today in the mail I received a ballot for the upcoming FOP election. I threw it out. I do not think it is right for us retired guys to have a say in who runs the union that mostly affects working policeman. This needs to be changed however; that is just my opinion.
What is with this new show "Chicago Code" coming out this week, and why does Yahoo have Chicago Police officers rating it? If you check your Yahoo, they have pictures of the officers, and their names, and what they think of the show. They even have the name of the person helping them with the show behind the scenes "Filino?" Dude the show is already messed up because they show the police chasing somebody, pointing a gun at them as they chase......we dont chase....get your head out of your ass, and tell them what it is really like.
it should be a show about politicians and reverends getting their idiot people in high police spots, and then doing their hijinx by bringing guns to airport, making whoppers, meeting Elton John and Billy Joel while violating the law, taking pictures at an airport crash at Midway, and so on and so on. Now THAT IS SOME GOOD TELEVISION.
Where was Donahue as our President of FOP. We never heard much from him in the papers or TV. What is in it for him with Chico. A job ?
(OT) Will Pat Fitz get involved? She is "to busy" more follies!! No Rosie!

2/07/2011 06:21:00 AM
their marching orders from their masters.
FYI: This is not FOP's event. This was scheduled after the Sgt's union and some selected firefighters officially endorsed him. The Sgts union was the first union to announce their support for Chico. Fop was two weeks later and firefighters 3 weeks later. We are all glad they finally came on board and we hope to have a great turnout but it was scheduled way before.
Chico all the way.....put a end to residency!!!!!
Chico has a 2.5 million dollar condo
A vote for Chico is a vote for Ed Burke. The Chicago way....
2/07/2011 09:13:00 AM

Excellent thought....Boston had 10 year rule in place....let's settle for 15yrs and call it even.
yea, vote for rahm to f#@* with burke? What about your pension JAG-BAG. Chico's the guy, don't beleive the News Media
PENSION IS STATE LAW. Jerry is a multi million dollar lawyer has nothing in common with working cops
Liar Liar i will give u more cops I will lift residency I will protect your pension. HOW will I do this? Where has Chico been? ON THE INSIDE FOLKS WAKE UP!!! Careful All Promises and no substance. this election is shit. No real good choices.
Please Del Valle is the guy
somebody confirm did 3M work with Gary Chico on the mayor's staff
hey 19th wward residents----matt oshea is AGAINST chico and is FOR rahm. remember that when you vote for your drinking buddy

You can't be that stupid and be a police officer. Well, maybe you can and that scares me plenty.

Why should I suffer for the next 15 years like you did. The job is much different then when you came on I know that I have earned what I have. Now its time to end residency for all not just you retired and still on the job.
hey 19th wward residents----matt oshea is AGAINST chico and is FOR rahm. remember that when you vote for your drinking buddy
Wrong the 19th ward office told me they are backing no one for Mayor
A vote for Rahm will help rebuild this city!!!
Chico will not win as he favors the high paid union officials. Rahm will run this city like a business and not a union hall.
Happy happy joy joy!!!
Go Rahm!

Too bad you didn't throw that ballot to someone who would fill it out and send it back in. Until things are changed, your vote counts as much as the next guy. Just not in the trash can. A lot of people have worked hard to get elected. I'm disgusted to hear you threw your voice in the union away so easily.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Actually, if you check past FOP elections, it is the retirees that vote the most.
Not the active members.
Remember to vote and BE VERY CAREFUL who you vote for = cause you"ll be stuck with them for four years!!!!
We must get the word out to vote for Chico. We need to force a runoff between Chico and the annointed one.
Rahm's latest round of tv ads are a slap in the face to all dedicated city workers. Rahm is the anti Christ . He wants to cut our compensation( salary etc.), reduce our pensions and I'm sure some other things he hasn't said yet. He's basically giving the middle finger to all city workers and is assuming he can win without our support.
We've got to try like hell to prove the bastard wrong.
I don't get why Chico is the best of the pack all of a sudden. Is he just the best of the worst? And why are we supposed to NOW listen to FOP- it's not like they've made great choices for its members over the past few hundred years! Nah... think I'll write-in my vote AGREE DONT LIKE ANY CANDIDATE BUT HATE FLOP YES HATE FLOP 18yrs on biys so no hair goop here just trying to reach KMA
Flop woundnt march on city hall now they have balls

Yeah, not to mention the Supt. chasing and fighting with bad guys on the show. Our real/fake supt. runs and hides from bad guys. The truth is the only white shirts on the street are Sgt.'s and they don't even write a parking ticket. Could be a good show, but far from the reality of the CPD. All the brass stay indoors here.

Yes, legally it's called creating a separate class. It isn't legal and it would be even worse of a mess than we have now.
Also, Chico can't get rid of residency. It is a state law.
2/07/2011 11:34:00 AM
=
NO, IT ISN'T A STATE LAW. A state law ALLOWS Chicago (any municipality with over a certain population, which only Chicago fulfills) to do this under Home Rule.
In other words, if the mayor of Chicago decrees we live in the city, we do, because state law PERMITS it. If Chicago no longer requires us to live in the city, there is no state law that REQUIRES us to live in the city.
Every one that works for the city better be damm scared of a mayor Rahm! Not one worker should vote for him unless they have clout. His BS TV commercial talking about how city workers need to have heart, work harder etc. etc. is an insult. Take a look at how many Police and firemen have givin their lives in the last 3 years alone you ASSHOLE!!!! We already have heart rahm, but under you we may lose it. What a lying snake jerk!
Hey Chico is going to bring the Superbowl here, hire more police officers and end residency. He has my vote hands down.
2/07/2011 11:23:00 AM
This was the dumbest thing I ever heard and how Chico lost my vote. We have no dome so why would the Superbowl ever be in Chicago; he said he'd "add" a thousand police officers (but over what time period); and he's going to look at residency? We've had enough people looking at crap, we need some action! Just say no to Chico!

Just(unfortunately) watched The Chicago Code and it's the DUMBEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! What a stupied and silly opening. A car chase with a gun pointed at a copper while they have a "man to man" conversation. Not to mention the Supt. going to crime scenes and interviewing bad guys. HOW DUMB!
I watched Chicago Hope tonight, mostly okay but a few of their techniques made me cringe.
Even so, I still love Jennifer Beals- she definitely is NOT J-Fled.

I got my Chico sign!
About the Chicago Code....we don't chase? We don't chase in A/3 but it seems like the rest of the city is still allowed to.
Well the Police better stop bitching and get involved!!!! We have never had a more opportune time to play a role in a mayoral election. Don't bitch unless you actually become involved.

and what is the rahmbutter, a pauper, raised on the mean streets of Wilmette, cut his teeth dancing with girls, honed, to a razor sharpness, his manhood by maintaining equipment in Israel, developed his keen sense of political manipulations with the clintons, via his mentor, the axelrod, and now is presenting himself, in all his glory, to the fine citizens of our city, as the 9 1/2 fingered version of the messiah.

watch the movie 'Riding the Bus with My Sister'.
To: Politicians promises are like cigarette packaging, easy to see thru, and made to be broken.
Very True but Ramh is promising to go after our pensions and Chic is promising to lose residency. Which one can you afford?
To: FOP screwed the pooch again. You think you'll get a BETTER deal from Rahm after endorsing Chico?
Maybe you were not on when Rahm had 017 District Sgt his family in his commercials. The reward for a uniformed officer's backing him is his promise to go after our pensions. With friends like Rahm I don't need enemies!
Chico can't get rid of residency. It is a state law. -
You may be wrong on this
I believe the city has the same type exemption as it did with smoking ban 500,000. plus population can opt out from under law.
Mr residency rule.
I like that idea but cut it in half 10 or 15 years after vested nether party has much to lose.

Want a great election slogan/campaign sign/bumper sticker? Remember, "Chico and the Man?" Put a slash through "and" then insert "is" and you have,
"Chico IS the Man!"
All you Officers and Firefighters who live in the 19th Ward call the ward office and ask who they are backing for mayor. They will tell you they are staying "nuetral".Wow, take a stand and don't sit on the fence!
No one is trying to put down the tradesmen or divide the city employees. But the unions have been using thier clout and money to get pay and benefits far in excess of what private industry pays the same ski8lls. And, many people hold these tradesmen job titles that do not do the work that the job title calls for. I just do not believe that any other city does this. The taxpayers would not put up with it. If all of the city pensin funds get the same funding state law passed for their pensions without changes for those still working, it will add almost 2000 to you property taxes each year. Do you really think that this is going to fly? The city is going broke, fast.
Speaking of residencey? Why cant there be a 20 yr residencey ....
Yes, legally it's called creating a separate class. It isn't legal and it would be even worse of a mes
Moron, show me the state statute where the city cannot dictate the grounds of residency. State authorized the city to effect residency and decide for itself (the city) who can work and live in the city. FACT: City could do what was stated above, let 20year vets move out if they so decided. Why do ppl continue to defend this machine?? gotta be outsiders.
