WE won a meeting w/Moore before Council cut 6 of 12 city mental clinics and OURS. His vote upset us; he vowed he'd hear our concerns. JOIN US in ensuring so. Push to save clinics! We have personal interests: we’re clinic users, their friends, loved ones. Contact us: RogersPkMHM@aol.com. Cuts destro clients' bonds w/providers; leave many w/nowhere to turn; cost more in suffering & tax dollars as many end up in emergency rooms, police stations, jails. We stood up FIRST (& thanks, Occupiers!).
I fully support the Occupy movement, but not this sad excuse for an action. If any of you boneheads looked around that room, you would have seen some of the most progressive minded people, that have dedicated 50+ years fighting for the working class. Most of the old people in that video have been on the front lines since the 60's and go to these 49th ward meeting monthly. but instead you wanted to show up ONE TIME chant and then, "get the fuck out of here." SHAME ON YOU!
Occupy Chicago I wasnt sure if this movement ment that you would deal directly with REAL people issues. After watching you all mic check Alderman Joe Moore. I know we (my son and I) are in the RIGHT MOVEMENT!! Thank you for using your voices and standing up for the PEOPLE whos voices are not heard just like my son and I. You know the 99%. How can we get more involved and where should for these type of marches to support the 99%?? korporateraider@aol.com THANK YOU!!
Joe Moore himself said at his last election victory party that explaining what you're doing is almost as important as the job itself. Not only has Joe not explained the budget vote on his own terms, he cut a backroom deal for his own benefit, to get his wife appointed. There's no explaining that (not that he tried), it's just Todd Stroger style nepotism.
This video starting at 6:09 minutes exposes one of the main reasons we have serious budget deficits: banks and top corporations are avoiding paying taxes across the country. It also has some suggested local solutions for Chicago activists.
to be fair, joe moore is very progressive. check out the participatory budgeting he's brought to his ward over the past few years, which allows individual citizens to vote directly on how to use the majority of discretionary money given to the ward.
F*cking amazing !

@ProfessorWoland23 As long as your goals include rampant prostitution, homelessness, and gang fights then Joe Moore is def'ly your guy

As progressive as Joe Moore is (Participatory Budgeting), this economy of the elite is KILLING US.
