I'll kick it off: Mayor Walls, "It's not over till it's over."

Mayor Hanson !

The Guy Who Rahm's Connections At The Chicago Board Of Elections LOST His "Statement Of Financial Interest" !

He Was The Notable WRITE-IN Candidate For MAYOR Of CHICAGO !

Of Course, I'm The NOTABLE WRITE-IN CANDIDATE For CITY TREASURER:

Oh, By The Way, TODAY Is My Birthday; As I Was Physically Born On February 22th !

My Birthday Wish Is That YOU'LL Vote For Me; That Is, WRITE-IN "TONY CISNEROS" FOR CHICAGO CITY TREASURER TODAY !

As, When ELECTED CHICAGO CITY TREASURER, I Advocate Three (3) Measures:

#1.That The Office Of THE TREASURER Runs/Operates/Administers Itself INDEPENDENTLY From The Office Of The MAYOR.

#2.That A FORENSIC AUDIT Of The City Of CHICAGO'S Finances Be Conducted For The Last DECADE--PREFERABLY THE LAST TWO (2) DECADES.

#3.That The Office Of THE TREASURER Solely Accounts/Answers/Exists To Respond To:

a.The Citizens & People Of The CITY OF CHICAGO.

b.The Representatives In The CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL (ALDERMEN) For The Citizens & People Of The CITY OF CHICAGO.

c.The MAYOR, As The Chief Executive Of The CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL, For The Citizens & People Of THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

This Being Fulfilled; NOT BY EMPTY WORDS--BUT BY SOLID, CONCRETE & IMMEDIATE ACTION:

FORTHWITH !

*SO IT IS SAID--THUS WILL IT BE DONE ! ! !

TONY CISNEROS / February 22, 2011 11:29 AM

Please Let Me "Rephrase" My LAST DECLARATION "*SO IT IS SAID--THUS WILL IT BE DONE ! ! !"

With:

**SO IT IS SAID--

THUS IT IS DONE ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Thank You Very Much,

GOD Bless All Those Of Good Will & Grace;

And ALMIGHTY GOD Help, Deliver & SAVE CHICAGO

FINANCIALLY,

FISCALLY,

ECONOMICALLY !

(AS I PRAY TO ALMIGHTY GOD, ABOVE ALL ELSE, THAT CHICAGO & ITS CITIZENS & PEOPLE PROSPER, BE IN GOOD HEALTH; AND, PERPETUALLY SAVED & DELIVERED:

BOTH SPIRITUALLY,

PSYCHOLOGICALLY,

PHYSICALLY)

ALL BE WELL.

You've got Watkins on Carol's poster and Carol on Watkins'. One or both of them may be offended. Might want to fix that.
