Congratulations -well done!
I was puzzled at first, but then I remember you once mentioned that Montgomery's board meets in the morning for some strange reason.
It also looks like there will be three more full board votes today in Coles, JoDaviess, and Washington.

Marion county is red on the map, [url="http://www.pro2aresolution.com/id12.html"]http://www.pro2aresolution.com/id12.html[/url] ,claims it failed in committee?
[/quote]
According to post #812, they were just postponing consideration. In my personal opinion, I think the Pro2A website is a bit too liberal with the red ink. The resolution hasn't failed in any of those counties; the boards/committees are either dragging their feet or ignoring the issue. If anything, changing them back to white in those cases is probably most appropriate.
[/quote]
We are all working toward the same goal and I think how we color our maps is a non-issue. We may differ in our assessment of counties that do not put the resolution on their agenda for approval but the main thing is the number of counties that pass the resolution. Stop in at the blog section on their website and you will get a clearer picture of why and how they decide to designate the counties. [url="http://www.pro2aresolution.com"]http://www.pro2aresolution.com[/url]
[/quote]
Those posts to which you directed me were very informative; thank you. I also agree, the nuances of the red color-coding are irrelevant - especially since those counties will be green before long.

You mean we could be up to 50 counties after today? And Edgar tomorrow would make 51, or 50% of the counties of Illinois!

I just hit one of those age plateaus where your eyesight starts to degrade. Coach you had me thinking I just degraded a few more notches! How about twice normal size!

This is just a very wild guess, and probably doesn't have anything to do with reality, but is it possible that the forum software imposes a limit (for each member) on the total amount of memory (among all posts) that can be used by attached files? In other words, I know you've posted a lot of these maps--could it be that you're bumping up against the limit, and so it automatically reduced the size, to keep you within the limits?
Again, that's almost certainly not it--I was just wonderin'.

It has to do with the photo softare. It has reduced it to tha size on the page, and no matter how much I magnify it, or change the pixel count, the map size on the page doesn't get any larger. I'll find out what's goin' on. Please bear with me!

A bit of coverage on the Coles County vote. Still no word about Jo Daviess and Washington Counties, I take it? Does anyone know what time the Edgar County board meets?

May want to check the comments later. Seems to be one anti quick to post. I've posted a little rebuttal, will take a while for it to show. We'll see who else chimes in.

ATTENTION Ford county residents, I recieved this in an e-mail today..........
Hi Matt
The board has not mentioned anything about the Second Amendment Resolution. I have given a copy of your information to the board chairman. Thank you.
Linda Kellerhals
Ford County Clerk
I suggest if you live in Ford county that you get ahold of your county board members and bolster some support for this. They are aware of it now!

Coach, do you happen to have old versions of that map from each stage? I thought once this project was completed, it might be neat to make one of those animations - like with the right-to-carry map of the United States.

Smersh...
Unfortunately, I saved only the first and most recent, unless the others may be on "My BooK" backup HD. I'll check.
On another topic, I'm attaching a spreadsheet file I did shortly after the '06 gubanotorial election.
I think it has some value as to WHY we have the 2A county-by-county grassroots movement going.
Check the percentages! Where does that leave us country folk?
