Support for Illinois Health Care Referendum 2006

Many have asked about the Health Care referendum on the ballot so here is my response.  The Democratic Party of the 49th Ward has been working with the folks organizing the Illinois Health Care Referendum 2006 for some time now.  We are supportive of the idea.  We have made posts here and have spoken with others to insure that this initative will get on the ballot for November . . . yes November.   That continues the timeline set by the leaders of the referendum. 

In order to avoid confussion we will not be list it on our materials for the March 21, 2006 election because it is not going to be on that ballot.  In April, a representative will be featured at our monthly meeting and they will be sharing information about the initative.  They will also be asking us to circulate petitions to get it on the ballot.  I would hearily encourage you to support this initative and to do the work it requires to get on the ballot. 

Lets also be careful though and take our elections one election at a time.
