It is true, I have been removed from the November 2012 ballot, by the Chicago Board of Elections, and the Democratic Party.
I was slated as a Republican candidate for the 10th District, House Seat, on May 23, 2012. I had until June 3, 2012 to collect a required 500 signatures, and file in Springfield on June 4, 2012. I turned in 1316 signatures.
I faced two separate challenges by the Democrats at the Board of Elections. One challenge determined I turned in 494 registered voter signatures, in the district, while the other determined I only turned in 241 registered voter signatures, in the district. Both, obviously, very different results. Either way, of the 1316 signatures I turned in, I personally collected, in the 10 days I was given, 280 signatures on my own. Of the 280 signatures I collected, 210 were registered voters, in the district. 10 signatures were collected by a Republican Committeeman, and were all found to be 1 or 2 blocks out of the district, all registered voters and not accepted. Of the additional 1026 signatures, collected by hired, paid circulators, only 31 were determined to be registered voters within the district.
I did my absolute best to collect the required amount of signatures in the amount of time that I was given, 10 days, but fell short. Next time, I will certainly run in the primary, and have considerably more time to collect the required amount of signatures. In addition, there is a question as to whether or not Illinois's new law of signature requirements for candidates is Constitutional. My lawyer is pursuing this as we speak.
I am not on November's ballot, but I am not officially withdrawing, and I am not giving up. I am also pursuing my options as a write-in candidate. I thank all of you who offered your support and hope you will continue to support me in my efforts to bring some transformation to Chicago politics, one issue at a time.
Thank you.

Newt is SUCH a tool! He has about as much in common with Ronald Reagan, as I have with Gisele Bundchen.

Look, the whole Palin clan are stupid idiots!

I believe that Sarah Palin is a media and money grubbing hound. I have respect for her accomplishments as Governor of Alaska. However, she quit that job to pursue stardom. Why? Money. This whole "I love my country thing" may very well be real? And if it is, I respect that too, but her approach is just too staged and therefore, she doesn't have the wherewithal to ever run for President. She did it to herself. She should have turned down McCain, and stayed the Governor of Alaska. :)

"Dear Mr. President; I heard you say you will not guarantee SS checks if the debt ceiling isn't raised. Why is it the scare always has to do with SS, Medicare, & our Soldiers Pay? Why not stop your pay, your staff, or Congress? Lets hold the paychecks of all house & senate members and see how fast they resolve this mess!" - Victor Moore
