January 8, 2006 - Illinois' Governor Rod Blagojevich and Senator James Meeks: Taking care of "personal" business

Well, it seems Governor Rod Blagojevich and Senator James Meeks have come to an agreement for the trouble Mr. Meeks and his family endured at the hands of Chicago's finest. Governor Blagojevich has decided to put cameras in a few Chicago Police cars. This is a good. Do you think Governor Blagojevich is trying to get the "black" vote? Neither of these characters do anything for their constituents that have real meaning.

I had a similar incident with the Village of South Holland Illinois and their Police Department. Do you think Governor Blagojevich and Senator Meeks had me on television reporting how they are "fixing" my problem. They have not even contacted me about the issues I have raised, let alone broadcast it over a national television program. Please, don't believe the hype.

I have written numerous letters to both, Governor Blagojevich and Senator Meeks about the Village of South Holland Illinois and their Police Department's harassment, discrimination and intimidation to me and my family. It seems I am not as powerful or "connected" as they are to each other to get any assistance. I guess you have to be a politician to get assistance from those you vote into office. Governor Blagojevich is only trying to get the black vote.

I voted for Senator Meeks. I voted for Governor Blagojevich. I believed them when they reported they would work for all the people. It appears they only work for each other's interest. We, their constituents are superficial actors. They use us to get into office. They need our vote.

Of course, they get a few things done for us as long as we do not ask them for anything or to address issues brought against their "buddies." When it comes to reporting a contributor or "partner" of theirs or one of the "good Ole boys", they seem to forget us, the common voter. I guess you have to be a good close friend of Governor Blagojevich or Senator Meeks to get help or assistance from those you vote into office.

We, the voters, learn lessons the hard way. Go to your Internet sites and type in South Holland Illinois, Senator James Meeks, or Governor Blagojevich. You will see C.L.I.C.K. for Justice and Equality. Check out the issues I have written and noticed Governor Blagojevich and Senator Meeks about. Neither of them have responded. I guess I am not important enough to contact or to give assistance too. They certainly are not going to put me on a national television program and resolve my issues. I am one of the "small" people. I don't count.

The questions may be: Are you important enough for them to assist you? Do you count? Let them hear from you at the voting polls.
