Arch1GLK Posted February 12, 2012 at 08:09 PM Share Posted February 12, 2012 at 08:09 PM Oh for sure I and some neighbors will attend.This district overlaps "CHICAGO WAY" with BOB RITA's district which I have the misfortune of being represented. The area is already showing signs of brute crime, and our voices will be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglebob Posted February 14, 2012 at 06:47 PM Share Posted February 14, 2012 at 06:47 PM What state reps district is Alsip in? Does the state rep support HB148? It would be good to know who it is so those of us who can't attend can send an email. State senator as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted February 14, 2012 at 08:20 PM Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 at 08:20 PM What state reps district is Alsip in? Does the state rep support HB148? It would be good to know who it is so those of us who can't attend can send an email. State senator as well.This is House Dist. 27, Rep. Monique Davis. She is the one who stood on the House floor and trashed the Right toCarry bill and betrayed her whole district by denying them the right to protect themselves.Corresponding senator is Emil Jones III. They both have opponents running against them in the primary. Davis' opponent, Preston Brown, Jr. supports right to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmHand357 Posted February 15, 2012 at 02:14 AM Share Posted February 15, 2012 at 02:14 AM Molly, do you believe that Preston Brown has a fighting chance? If not, I hate to waste my hard-earned bucks but, if Monique Davis--with the advantages that come with being an incumbent--is beatable, would it not be very beneficial for as many of us as possible to contribute to Mr. Brown's campaign? Thanks in advance to any further insights... His web page: http://www.prestonbrownjr.com/about.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted February 15, 2012 at 03:38 AM Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 at 03:38 AM IllinoisCarry cannot endorse individual candidates but I always think it is in our best interest to supportcandidates who support our Constitutional rights.

FarmHand357 Posted February 16, 2012 at 04:43 AM Share Posted February 16, 2012 at 04:43 AM Molly, I appreciate the info. I do want to point out that I couldn't find anywhere on Mr. Brown's web site his position on right to carry. If that was all I had to go by, I would have no idea that he's a good candidate for 2nd Amendment supporters. But, thanks to your information, I made a personal decision to make a significant (for me) contribution to his election campaign... Thanks.

boomersand Posted February 24, 2012 at 08:51 PM Share Posted February 24, 2012 at 08:51 PM I emailed Preston Brown, and he will be attending. he said he spoke to Otis McDonald last week. I'm going to make it since I live in Oak Forest. also I emailed Will Davis, the dist Rep 30 and haven't heard back from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Federal Farmer Posted February 25, 2012 at 02:11 AM Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 02:11 AM I'm at the Alsip meeting, please excuse cell phone typing. Just want to tel you it is full of attendees. People still coming in,tooAudience is a surprisingly balanced mix of young, old, male, female, black, white. I'd say could be 50/50 of all the above.Also many families, children included. State Rep Monique Davis is not here. She did not choose to attend. Preston Brown, the candidate who wants torepresent Monique's constituents is here. The audience appears perhaps 2/3 unfamiliar with much of second amendment laws and info, and overwhelmingly eager and interested in what they'reLearning. I'm judging this by the hand raising or lack when question s are asked. Just wanted to share, cause it's really exciting to be here with this type of reception and interaction Colleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vezpa Posted February 25, 2012 at 04:18 AM Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 04:18 AM Just wanted to share, cause it's really exciting to be here with this type of reception and interaction Colleen Be careful. It can be a real handful when a room filled with people learn the truth and have the web of lies they have been told for years unravel before them. :Drunk emoticon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly B. Posted February 25, 2012 at 04:35 AM Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 04:35 AM Fantastic meeting!! Nearly a packed room, very intense crowd eager to learn what they can do to help get a law passed in Illinois. It was great to see Preston Brown, candidate running against Monique Davis in the primary and Ricardo Fernandezwho is running in the 18th senate district primary with hopes of running against Cunningham who is anti-carry in the fall.

Yas Posted February 25, 2012 at 05:06 AM Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 05:06 AM There was a group filming with Camera at back of meeting. A young gentleman was kind enough to supply me with Starplanettv.com and W. L. Lillard as to who was filming. We'll have to keep an eye open to see if anything gets broadcast or posted on the web.

Buzzard Posted February 25, 2012 at 05:11 AM Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 05:11 AM Great news!! And isn't it telling how the politicians that vote against concealed carry don't/won't show up at these meetings? Could it be that they can't explain why 48 states are wrong and Illinois is right in denying it's citizens the ability to defend themselves?

Could it be that they can't explain why 48 states are wrong and Illinois is right in denying it's citizens the ability to defend themselves? Just 48? Uh . . . is it 57? Sorry. I was just telling someone the other night about Sen. Dave Syverson setting Sen. Silverstein straight about comparing state law. Sen. Silverstein was trying to get a children's bicycle helmet bill out of committee and he said, "17 states have a bicycle helmet law - why shouldn't Illinois? Sen. Dave Syverson quickly spoke up and said, "well 48 states have concealed carry! Why then doesn't Illinois??" Of course, that was before Wisconsin became a free state and made it 49. I guess I had that number stuck in my head. Good catch, Drlok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yas Posted February 25, 2012 at 02:01 PM Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 02:01 PM Last night was also a glowing example of Chicagoans and suburbanites packing a room together. Most all whom own firearms or are interested in owing them and the wild west didn't happen and not one darn shot was fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prestonbrownjr Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:32 PM Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 01:32 PM It was a pleasure meeting everyone on Friday evening. I am committed to ensuring the safety of the citizens of the 27th District and the citizens of the State of Illinois. We are fighting hard to secure a win on the evening of March 20th. I appreciate the pledged support from all of the individuals to whom I had an opportunity to speak with. If you live in the district please give me a call at 773-850-0043. I would love to place a sign in your yard. The time is now for change. Rep. Davis was hit in the Sun-Times today with another allegation of impropriety.http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/10853659-418/whos-getting-her-legislative-scholarships.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
