Odds long for constitutional convention - Chicago Sun-Times

Blagojevich hates Madigan. Madigan hates him back. And despises Senate President Emil Jones, who despises Madigan back.

All Democrats, all dysfunctional, all the time.

Meanwhile, citizens, fed up with being bystanders in this car wreck of a government, are stuck with skyrocketing gas prices, a faltering economy and a growing fear for their and their children’s futures.

David Axelrod, Barack Obama’s Chicago version of Karl Rove, is getting $2 million to convince Illinois voters to leave the powers that be alone. Barack Obama is silent on the issue that is important to the state of Illinois because whether to try for a new constitution will be on the ballot in Illinois.

Illinois government is broken, as Carol Marin says. A Constitutional Convention is one way to try to fix some of it. Barack Obama merrily runs along for President ignoring the people he represents and the damage his party is doing to future generations.

Do you want Barack Obama to ignore the people he represents by staying silent about the best avenues for change the neglected voters will have this generation in Washington D.C., like he is doing right now in Illinois?
