I hope that you will take this very important opportunity to exercise one of your most basic rights as a citizen.<br /><br />In order to <span style="font-weight:bold;">Facilitate Your Right to Vote<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span>, I am bringing you both a series of questionnaires from various candidates running in jurisdictions in and around the Central Area of Chicago, as well as a very special forum/political information exchange to be held on Saturday, January 30 at the Hotel Blake where you can meet the various candidates and find out where they stand on the issues.<br /><br />The questionnaires should be ready shortly and a flyer for the forum is posted below that you can print and distribute. I should have more information and a list/schedule of the candidates confirmed for the January 30 forum very soon.<br /><br />If you have any questions, please email me at <a href="perezeg@aol.com">perezeg@aol.com</a>. I look forward to seeing you at the Hotel Blake.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">E<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span><br /><br />P.S. I am still looking for event volunteers.
