Innocent until proven guilty

Today is Tuesday January 6, 2009 Time 4:53

I can not see why they want to impeach or take away Blagojevich's power without charging him with a crime.They could have had a special election for the Senate seat. I don't want favors for any politicians, But impeachment without charges seams like putting the cart before the horse.If he is proven guilty of something send him to jail. I love to see criminal go to jail.

It seams every one is trying to get Blagojevich out of office before he goes to trial. I know there much be something else behind this move .

The governor has the right to pick Roland Burris and I don't think Mr. Burris would have taken that appointment if there was any impropriety on his part.

If he did nothing wrong why shouldn't he take the appointment? And he is qualified. I will be glade to see Blagojevich charged so all this mess can come out in court. In Chicago there is one scandal after another because most politician are crooks. That's sad.

I'm sure this trial will be interesting.

Thank You

Tuesday August 5, 2008 9:20 PM: Daley should take Governor's help

Governor Blagojevich, told Mayor Daley that the violence in Chicago is out of control, He would send in the national guard, if needed. The Mayor said , We don't need any help. If you watch the news in Chicago they talk about gun violence every day. Kids get killed sitting on their front porch, riding the bus, walking down the street. I see people on the South and west side marching against gang violence. I have a poster in my window that says please don't shoot me i want to grow up .

The Mayor lives here, why is he letting this go on in his City?

I was talking to a store owner yesterday. He told me some gangs were on the street fighting and he called the police. They never showed up. Hours later, after the fighting was over, he called back, and was told he could file a complaint. He did.

We need your help to stop the violence. Please vote if you don't fell safe in Chicago.

Thank You
Carmen
