This meetup is one that I sincerely hope every single member RSVPs yes for. Don't hesitate to bring a friend!!! Oh, and remember that passing out political material, wearing political clothing, etc.. in other words, campaigning in the polling place or very near the polling place is usually prohibited.

This is what we have been working toward, so be sure to make today a day to remember and VOTE, please :).

    Regardless of the outcome, most important we as America's new age of reason have awakened from a slumber of hopeless apathy, and that is all we really need!!!! So as long as you all can see it is not about Republican or Democrat it is about principle of our great founding ideas, a true free nation.

    Vote early, vote often. (Just kidding) Winning Illinois would be great. But I know that we have already won because the promise of liberty is a tide which cannot be restrained.

    So how far can we campaign from the polling place without getting into any trouble? Does anyone know specifically?

       I told the guy who collects the votes that I would rather have a paper ballot with an X in the box, done with good Ink, he said perhaps blood would be better! I said thats an interesting thought---perhaps the DNA of say a Chicken, and when the polls close the chickens are cooked and eaten by the vote counters! Without the DNA of that Chicken on the ballot, anyone can replace the ballots, but no one can reproduce the DNA of any single organism! Got the idea? 
    •  my signs that I had around the polling place had been removed. Thats pretty low.. 
    •  It was great to get out and vote. I wish Ron Paul would have done better. Ron Paul has definitely got me thinking about the political process more. I'm researching the constiution party that I've just discovered. I don't think we can expect very many more people like RP to come out of the republican party. 
    •  As I headed to my St. Patricks voting location, I stopped about a block and a half away and placed a small Ron Paul sign in the ground at the intersection of Raynor and Marion Sts. I went to vote-maybe a total of 15 minutes- and then placed a larger, 2'x4' sign at Marion & Willow(maybe 1 minute) and then another smaller sign(that's all I had left) at McDonough and Raynor Sts(maybe 5 minutes)-all major avenues for voters to get to St.Pats and then went back to the Marion & Raynor intersection to go home and that first sign was gone already. Don't get discouraged-keep fighting for what's right! 
    •  Well it is our civic duty to vote and keep the power!!!
