Don’t know why, but when Google’s Blogger hosting system went into its second version, folks started finding it difficult to post comments.

My article on the second $25 Melissa Bean not-at-all a Town Hall meeting at the McHenry Country Club elicited the following comments:

From Blogger Liberty Watchman:

“Bean’s a real profile in courage, isn’t she? Sure she likes pod-casts; voters can’t give feedback via a pod cast.

I’ve written on her (Lake Zurich) Town Hall cowardice.

From Jes:

“Bean, Durbin and the rest of those ‘representatives’ of WE THE PEOPLE, the PEOPLE who voted them into office, deserve some answers from them. They are COWARDS, plain and simple.

“Keep contacting them. Fax them, call them, and most of all walk into their office. [Do not send mail. Bean told one constituent it takes 90 or more days to get through the anthrax check.]

“I’ve done that with my rep Beaubian, and got a phone call a week later from his wife! She tried to convince me that his pro-choice votes were good for the community he represents.

“I don’t think so, and I’ll campaign for anyone who runs against him, who follows the Republican Platform, or conservative values. We can’t continue being in the middle of the road .. and getting run over.

“I’m sorry I put a Beaubien sign in my yard. Never again!

“WE HAVE AWAKENED!!!”

I don’t know whether the two commenters are planning to run for Republican precinct committeeman, but they should.

Here’s how:

Filing dates are different from those in the 2007 article. October 26 – November 2, 2009, are the dates.

If you are not currently a precinct committeeman, I recommend you file during the afternoon of the November 2nd.

As I have written previously, the Establishment prefer to have as many empty precincts as possible, so they can be filled with friends who may or may not do anything during election time. Filing early gives the powers that be the opportunity to find someone to run against a newcomer.

More information, including which precincts currently have no precinct committeeman (both Republican and Democrat) and which ones have appointed committeemen, who, most likely, do not live in their precincts (making the precinct effectively an empty precinct for filing purposes because one has to live in a precinct to run in it), can be found here.

Any questions, email me. The address is way down on the right hand side of the page.
