Recall Petition
For anyone interested, there's a website for the ballot initiative to recall Conehead or any future Coneheads:
There are specific rules and legalities involved in collecting signatures....which we used to be familiar with during the petition drive we supported nearly ten years ago. They are listed on the website along with the procedures for submitting and deadlines.
This is actually a decent opportunity because you need 20% of the total number of voters who participated in the previous election. And seeing as how it was a record LOW turnout, the number of signatures needed is probably attainable with a concerted effort.
It would probably take a day or three to get signatures from Roll Calls. Maybe the FOP could take a hand, make some appearances, collect a few thousand signatures over the course of a month? It wold certainly help this guy's efforts.
(Plus 10% or so for challenges that are sure to be mounted by assorted lawyers and politicians who fear a recall effort.)

Thanks SCC I want to get involved with this issue. I wish voters would get together and vote out every Democrat Politician. They messed Chicago and the country up!
Had FFO training great experience great class….NOT what a dumpster fire this yob is.
“Another Chicago Police Officer is fatally shot while returning from work”
Dan Proft & Amy Jacobson am 560 Morning Answer podcast. 22 Apr 24. About 12 minutes
Commenting on Mayor BLM Johnson & other politicians speaking about how this must stop but offer no solutions.
And yes let’s sign a recall petition it’s a start.
So, somehow the politicals screwed up and defined the reference quantity not to the total of all registered voters, as the required number of voters' signing this petition?
And defined this quantity to the total number who voted in the most recent election?
Woe Nellie.
That is one hell of an opportunity window crack right there.
The Jackal in the movie, Day of the Jackal, would turn green with envy.
Lets get that grass roots initiative rolling. Just Sign on the Dotted Line campaign would be inclusive, diverse and equitable to move Chicago forward. And mail in signature petitions would be counted for weeks after the deadline. And the best part is no identification is required and same day registration is permitted. Migrants are granted recall petition rights in this local recall drive and third party proxy signatures are encouraged and forbidden to challenge. Make Chicago Great Again.
While the ones craving wisdoms, or at least the perceptions from others that they are wise, will reliably dismiss this as an exercise in futility, not exercising at all results in atrophy.
As Trump knows so well, there are always a significant portion of our populace that can only acknowledge they are being fucked when they feel the head of the fuckstick tickling the roof of their mouths from the long way up their asses.
This is what some to many are currently beginning to experience.
To, complying with the rules, gain the appearance on this election's ballots of this achievable question is a plus possible.
To then succeed in voting it into law is also possible, given the currently thorough fucking so many are perceiving as such.
Regardless of some of these ones' perceptions being motivated by events and decisions bogarting their own moocher machinations.
Anything and everything that induces displeasures of the politicals' scams and schemes is a potential motivator of thwarting them, especially those motivators concocted by the very politicals themselves.
The echoing of the phrase, Are you happy now??? You've ruined EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!, throughout the communities constantly complaining is music to the ears of those whose pockets are constantly being picked to satisfy the insatiable appetites for free shit, with free shit being evermore costly.
Just the appearence of this on the ballot will motivate wet fartings and piss drippings amongst the politicals.
That alone is well worth the effort.
OT:
Closing in on 50 and wondering if it’s worth staying till 55. Anyone leave before 55 and regret it? I’d need to get another job for insurance, anyone have issues finding another job? I just can’t take working here anymore.
Getting 20% of the last mayoral election voters is a tall order. That's not going to be easy. It will be very hard. The signatures will also be challenged. So you will need 30% of the voters.
Even if we succeed in getting a recall vote, the black community + teachers and their spouses and family members + the liberal whites will out vote us.
The state legislators and alderman will not be in favor of this. Because if you can recall the mayor, then why not recall an alderman or state legislator?
It would probably take a day or three to get signatures from Roll Calls. Maybe the FOP could take a hand, make some appearances, collect a few thousand signatures over the course of a month? It wold certainly help this guy's efforts.
Require the retirees to sign on their way out that should account for 1000 or so...

Insurance is the biggest wild card. Our health insurance is a very good plan. It's one of the top tier health insurance plans in the country.
Waiting till 55 is also a risk. Because what if the city no longer offers that deal?
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office is recruiting retired police officers to become School Safety Deputies. Almost 37 bucks an hour and health care is available. www.sarasotasheriff.org.
Good luck with that. How did those petitions Bruce Rauner championed work out?
A little something off the record from yesterday at the Trump trial in NY. While David Pecker was testifying about “catch and kill” stories in National Enquirer a familiar name came up. Among those he took care of was Tiny Dancer himself Rahm Emanuel. You’ve got to wonder what in the world did Rahm get himself involved in that the Enquirer had to buy and kill to prevent a scandal?
Great question about leaving at 50 and not 55. It’s a tough one. I think even if you’re not 55 but did 29 years you should be Grandfathered in. Makes no sense that someone with 20 years on can get insurance but someone with 32 years on can’t.
OT Couldn’t be more excited to be marching down Michigan Ave this year for all the piss bums instead of with our families near the Police Memorial…
The biggest problem I have with recalling and throwing out the current mayor is who do we replace him with? Another Crook County Demomarxist Prickwrinkle stooge?
How many signatures are required to get this bum out of office. Can we start one for fat ass?

Anyone leave before 55 and regret it?
Regret??..no...did 30 years and left at 53--been paying out of pocket for health insurance since then.
Took a series of full time and then part time jobs- before finally actually retiring and ENJOYING my life.
Insurance costs are no joke and Medicare is still a couple years away.
Have friends and family still on CPD and wish them all a speedy escape to retirement
Retired at 52 here and living well outside of Chicago...
No regrets...Leave Chicago in the rear-view mirror, and don't look back. Price some private insurance in the state you want to live in before you go.
I think Chicago should live with the mayor they elected less than a year ago...Let the voters' remorse set in for a few more years. I want to see how bad things can get...maybe that town will begin electing "conservatives" after that...I don't have a horse in the race and so I don't really care.
But a lot of the suffering and human misery in Chicago has been self-inflicted in its choice of politicians for the last 50-60 years...They just don't give a shit about anybody else than themselves...
Preserving "Chicago Values" since 1837...
There should be MULTIPLE signing locations Monday night at Plumbers hall!!!
If you have another job lined up with health insurance.....you must leave.
Your stress level will be reduced a lot.
To 4/26/2024 05:47:00 AM. Just one sample from your post “To, complying with the rules, gain the appearance on this election's ballots of this achievable question is a plus possible.”
If you think your posts are witty or wise, they’re not. And please don’t think you’re a writer. Just say what the fuck you mean without all the pseudo eloquent bullshit. And by the way, paragraphs are allowed to be more than one sentence,

Tough question but you have to make up your own mind. Everyone’s circumstances are unique. Depends on savings, married wife working, education are you employable in a job that will pay the salary you need, kids and their ages to mention a few. Amount of income you need
What about donations to pay a company to place all the robo calls to every voter in Chicago. Curious why a party hasn’t done that before.
“Had FFO training great experience great class…”
Glad you enjoyed! You will “enjoy” it even more this August when the shit hits the fan and all of that training goes right out the window!
50 or 55
If you can live without the dream of being "Retired" at 55, then go at 50.
Getting a job that provides insurance is easy.
You can go work for another government. As a police office or in another role.
Your State DOT is hiring (and so is the state you want to retire to)
The Federal Gov and Federal Contractors are hiring.
The Post Office is dying for more letter carriers.
Every Road and Highway contractor is desperate for people - flaggers, equipment operators etc and pay State or Federal wage rates $40+/hr plus fringes (pension, health, vacation)
All have one thing in common - you can pass a drug test.
You have time to investigate/explore options for your next career and get whatever training you need before 50.
Good luck!

As Uncle Jed would say to Jethro, "You best sharpen your lead pencil nephew because you got some serious ciphering to do!"
Essentially, only you know your circumstances, responsibilities and pertinent numbers. Many things can drastically change your plan for the future, but you best know, ageism is a very real thing and the competition for a "good" job is stiff. After 40 years of age it gets stiffer with each passing year, regardless of education and experience. Most likely, you will need to maximize all your resources to be in the hunt. Get the drift?
Good luck!
Republican Committeeman here. For the recall referendum petitions you need more than 10% over to avoid invalidation. More like 100%. Sorry. That's the reality but it is still achievable. The Democrats B of E will microscopically scrutinize all signatures. CTU doesn't want their hand picked fool to be smeared and will do everything and everything to prevent this from being on the ballot. Its not Democracy. It's Illinois.

A few guys have insurance from this site. It's for law enforcement, that retire early. Good luck. Stay safe

Thank u. This was a good response with some actual info pointing people in the right direction. Thank u!
Off Topic:
Dateline Chicago, Crook County
The Person of interest in the murder of Officer Huesca hade a court date the other day at 26th and Cal for a prior Misdemeanor arrest. Of course he didn't show up. Detectives and the ASA wanted to get at least a warrant for missing court but under the "SAFETY" act the judge could not get one under state law since it was a misdemeanor and only his 1st appearance.
This State is totally messed up.

Okay.
I take the bait.
No, it does not get stiffer with each passing year.
If anything, it dozes off more often than where the other head is.

Maybe because robo calls are irritating even if you don't answer them?

Such a sweetheart you are.
Putting distance between your sweet self and then announcing how much you'd enjoy viewing the clusterfuckings from afar.
Do you still pull the wings off of flies before tossing them onto the spider's web?

Do you pick an even worse bitch to hook up with, after relocating to escape the last one?

So.
Not easy.
Then why bother?
Is that your wisdom on this?
FORREST GUMP SAYS:
Why not just make it a double Recall Petition and add fatty Pritzker to it also ?
Dream on people the Democratic Party has you all by the short hairs. If you get rid of Conehead there will just be some worse Democrat taking home s place. Don’t waste your time money or effort. You get the government you deserve. Only way out is to leave city, county and state. Fact!
Republican committeeman in Illinois what a joke. Why bother, short of an armed take over you are irrelevant.
So, assuming a recall could be successful, who's gonna replace him that won't repeat the woke and broke failure mode? It's a Dem town with Dem voters; they'll just vote in somebody else unqualified and inept, having done it with LL as well.
BC/BS PPO $2,700 non Medicare for a single person ! I know I'm paying it !!!!
You people are killing me. You coppers don’t vote and then you complain when an asshole gets in office. Wake up, but don’t go woke. Or a better idea: retire and leave the city. Then your worries will be reduced to only one, “how long will I collect a pension before it goes dry”? I predict that within 5 years there will be no money in the fund to continue paying out. So, quit now and save yourself.
We signed the petition as well as several of our neighbors without hesitation. Throw the fool out.
Says the profession who can't even stick together and "slow down" to bring the city to its knees to negotiate for what you deserve... right!

The Keesing Bandit "sticks" together with lots of other people in his profession. He's very sticky at times.

Sad...but very true. Through unity there is strength. 1st step is get rid of fop and get a real union, then you will see what was missing all these years.
Retired at 51 with no regrets...8 years recovering now.
COLA being berry berry good to me! I get older, and they pay me more...

You're not complaining, are you?
BC/BS PPO $2,700 non Medicare for a single person ! I know I'm paying it !!!!
Is that for a year or a month?
If that is for a month you must be an idiot. Nearly $30,000 to cover you IF you get sick?
You would be better off putting that money in a bank, drawing for medical care if needed. Let the medical cabal know you are paying cash. Make a deal.
I retired May 2022 at age 57 with 2% premium for health insurance. Retiring after July 01,2022 my premium would have been raised to 3.5%.
My cost is $140.75 per month. Minus the $55.00 subsidy, my cost is $85.75 per month. It goes up in cost by 2% as I get my annual COLA. I wish it were frozen at my original amount. But, I won't complain because I know others have it far worse!
Thank goodness for the insurance! I am so glad to be out of the circus and watching from the sidelines!
Stay Safe

Except the COLA is not compounding. The COLA you get now will never change.
