Quinn Rakes in Out-of-State Cash
Quinn is having a problem with the local unions. They finally realize that Quinn has been lying to them for years, has actively undermined pension promises, and is pretty much doing to them everything that he and fellow dems insist evil republicans are going to do if they ever get elected. But that isn't stopping him from raking in union money from the national unions:
- Gov. Pat Quinn is picking up jumbo checks from trade union political action committees based in the D.C. area. Quinn’s Taxpayers for Illinois main campaign fund will show $4.75 million cash-on-hand with the governor picking up the pace of his fund-raising as he builds an election-year warchest.
In the last quarter, Quinn will be reporting raising $1.85 million. He will tip the $2 million mark collected in recent months with additional checks received after the Dec. 31 4th quarter deadline.
I earlier reported that the United Association Political Education Committee, based in Annapolis, Md., sent Quinn a $100,000 check.
While Illinois public service unions have issues with Quinn, the labor movement–almost all part of the Democratic family–does not speak with one voice.
Other national trade union PAC contributions to Quinn’s campaign fund are, according to his campaign:
$150,000 from the IBEW, the electrical workers union PAC
$100,000 from the IUPAT, the International Painters PAC
$100,000 from the Laborers Union PAC.
National unions undercutting their own local state members who might wish to use their money to force certain issues.

All unions are corrupt. Just look at ours.
Once you start paying them big salaries and letting them mingle with thieving politicians, what do you think will happen?
Stop paying them the salaries. Demand more of them.
Hilarious.
Yes, let's support him so he can stick it to us even more.
Dummies.
Unions always support democrats only. Republicans are the natural enemies of all unions everywhere. That's the way it's always been.
Gun Sales Surge To Record High In 2013; Expect Ammo To Spike In 2014
A record 21 million applications were run through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) last year - an 8% increase over 2012 and, as The Washington Times reports, the 11th straight year that the number has risen. Background checks serve as a proxy for the number of gun sales, which soared in the months immediately after Sandy Hook (but notably fell in the last 2 months of 2013 as the Newtown and 'fear of Obama' effect wore off). "2013 was the best year for firearm sales (commercial, domestic) in history — period!" notes the president of the independent firearm owners association, adding that "Ammunition will still be very strong in 2014 as it hasn’t caught up nationally with the demand." This could become a problem since, in what many believe was an attempt to 'crowd out' private buyers, the Homeland Security Department bought 1.6 billion rounds alone.

Gotta get big money out of the electoral process.
Probably gonna require violence at this point.
They are not going to just walk away from all that cash.
We, the people, should not have let it get to this point.
That's an awful lot of money. Imagine all the scratch-offs I could buy with that!

no help from the city workers this time
Fuck the Unions and Gick Pat Quinn. Both Lying, Thieving Scumbags.
But who is going to save the pension? Rauner made over 53 million profit in 1 year that's profit,and he has stated numerous times he wants all state employees without pension to be put into a 401k type of plan!
See the premier of Chicago P.D. tonight on NBC. This show goes inside the CPD and showcases some of the toughest and most effective crime fighters in the world. No punches are pulled. Is the show partially based upon SCC and this blog?
I'm sorry, but union workers are just plain stupid. I talked to one railroad guy before the Obama election and you could see that there was no thought process going on there. All he could do was parrot what his union told him, even when presented with facts that contradicted their socialist agenda.
It's too scary for some of these people to think for themselves or do any kind of research. They love to follow orders. Socialists count on that kind of idiot.
Keep paying them dues. boys. When Turban Durbin Quinn and Rahm make legal those thousands of illegal Hispanics, Poles, Chinese and Russian electricians, painters, laborers and truck drivers who work for cash and don't join unions. You will lose your healthcare and you will be sitting down at the hall,
It should be illegal for money from outside entities to be donated to influence a local election and...Oh, who am I kidding?
Don't forget to add all those new voter tradesmen to the non-union firemen tradesmen. Call your democratic precinct captain now to order your "Proud Union Home" sign for your new Section 8 apartment.
Somewhat OT: Now comes the part where Rauner, who will probably win the Republican primary because he's outspent everyone else, tanks his chances of winning to give the job right back to Quinn, which then allows the evil raccoon to run train over the entire state, not just the city.

I wonder how much money he's getting from Bloomberg?
O.T......In 1982, former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. Abu-Jamal never denied the killing during his trial. He, and his supporters, are still unapologetic for Faulkner's death.
One of those unapologetic supporters is former NAACP Legal Defense Official Debo P. Adegbile, who has worked tirelessly to free guilty murderer Abu-Jamal from prison. President Obama has nominated Adegbile to head the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division as an assistant attorney general to replace radical Tom Perez, who is now the Secretary of Labor. Adegbile is sure to continue carrying out the radical racial agenda of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder with the weight of the law behind him.
I have a friend who is head of a major union in Chicago ...been telling him Dems are evil fuck's for years he finally admitted I was right. Get rid of Democrats at every level of government.

How about demanding more of union members.
As it stands now what do politicians get other than a photo opportunity from FOP or PB&PA?
No money for their campaigns/retirement funds and only 23% of cops vote. So what can our union leaders offer them to help us out.
Now if the leaders of FOP and PB&PA were to announce a city-county-state-nation wide voter drive to target bad politicians the Democrats would squeal saying that we should stay out of politics and here is a cut to your pension because you won't do anything to hurt us. But our leaders will appear smiling on cue at any ribbon cutting ceremony or anything with a camera and microphone. But our leaders never ask the politicians the hard questions in public.
Register and VOTE, make the bastards FEAR US!
In a state full of fucking moron dumbocrat politicians, this fucking buffoon is the worst. This state will never recover from the recession until this asshole is gone. He's done nothing except increase taxes, chase away jobs, and chase away those taxpayers who are fortunate enough to leave this cesspool. A total fucking zero. ABFQ- Anyone But Fuckhead Quinn in 2014
Looks like the D.U.I. incident with a Investigative Reporter shelved a C.P.D. Sweepsweek hit piece for now. Boozing On Duty Northside Cops is kind of hard to show when your own Reporter gets hooked up for...Boozing! Whew, dodged another Chapter in the C.P.D. Book of Idiots.
Quinn has done the best he could with what was given to him! He tried and the people kept him down! I hope he runs and wins!

I'm really hoping this is in jest.

What a crock of b.s.
Take your spamvertising someplace else.
Yeah, I can see what you mean about unions being bad, better for us to trust guys who make 53 million a year. They have our best interests in mind. I think that they really know and feel the problems working men (including police) face. Yeah, that's how they got themselves into positions where they make 53 million a year. They just really care about the common folk. Yeah.

Terrible show, just another TV detective series with the same old thing. Same ole, hot police, tougher than nails, and about 5% of the show is true to life

Dave Savini hires himself attorney Terry Ekl to aggressively fight the DUI charge. In typical guilty fashion the lawyer is mounting a challenge to the summary suspension. This in spite of a .134 BAC.
The lawyer is not claiming innocence, just that "proper procedure was not followed."
I guess the Naperville police forgot to say "Mother May I" the requisite number of times prior to the BAC test.
Worthless worm Savini was drunk as hell with his kids in the car and he doesn't have the goddamn common decency to take his licking like a man, admit guilt and to do an act of public contrition so he can get on with life and career.
It is like drunken cops Dave, were you drunk?
A. Yes
Were you driving Dave?
A. Yes
Did you do the things the police are alleging Dave?
A. Yes
OK, the man is guilty, take your punishment and move forward. Or fight it like the chickenshit weasel you are.
Well if the police aren't voting and most likely the fireman aren't either or a very low % vote I would say that they aren't pushing a decent candidate either.. therefore .. they get the government they failed to work for or vote for.. and from what I hear neither candidate is in your corner.. I have 3 kids.. one voted for Obama twice.. one voted against him twice and one didn't bother to vote.. because he believes all politicians are corrupt.. ALL are having a hard time.. The only one I really help out is the one who voted AGAINST Obama.. she did her homework..made her decision and did the right thing based on what she heard coming out of Obama's mouth..the Obama voter thought Obama was COOL.. not so much anymore.. and the other one didn't make an EFFORT but he complains.. maybe a little more effort from those that complain might make the difference..
Is the one that voted for Obama a female? Can we hook up?
