Daley brushes off blame and puts it on families, Sun Nov. 9, 2008

Today is Sunday November 9, 2008 Time 12:43

I heard a speech on T.V.

That every one wants to blame the police and the Mayor for the violence in Chicago but they are not blaming themselves. Well part of that I agreed with.

We are all to blame. We want the City to do every thing about the violence in Chicago. But we don't want the police to arrest our kids when they are caught doing wrong.When they get our of hand at home we want the City to take them. We want the teachers to teach them discipline. and take care of their problems.

But you know what? those are your kids and that is your job.

If the mayor the teachers and the police do every thing,then what are you going to do.

The City and the parents should be working together. because we need each other.

You know the old saying it takes a village to raise a child.

If you are unhappy about the way things are going speak out let me hear your opinion.

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
