Get ready for Chicago's 2007 municipal elections

Elections in 2 weeks. While I have your attention...

Mark your calendars for February 27, 2007. That's the date for Chicago's General Election for Mayor, City Clerk, Treasurer, and Alderman. Besides brain-dead Mayor and Alderman who want to spy on everyone everywhere all-the-time, it's an opportunity to run candidates against machine politicians who probably haven't had an electoral aerobic workout (i.e. running a campaign against another candidate) in years if ever.

Some key dates to note follow.

First day to circulate for signature candidate nominating petitions for the offices of Mayor, Clerk, Treasurer and Alderman.
December 11, 2006
First day to file candidate nomination papers for the offices of Mayor, Clerk, Treasurer and Alderman with the Board of Election Commissioners.
