John McCain - Lost in Space

Presidential Candidate Barack Obama has been accused of flip-flopping and being "dangerously inexperienced to be President." In a climate where lies and fear have been cornerstones of this administration scrutinizing their words and information are more important than ever.

To Our Leaders: Give Us 100% Clean Electricity in 10 Years

Gas is approaching $4.50/gal yet we aren't getting any more gas milage for our money. Gas vehicles are getting similar milage as they did in 1985. Something is wrong. How can you say we need change yet do nothing? Take a stand HERE on the CHICAGO JEDI BLOG.

Don't be fooled!

As the days move into months and we vastly approach the crucial November deadline to elect our next President, I cannot help but think of how we are going to accomplish that. I mean it's as simple as going into the secret booth and casting the ballot, right? But, is it? Recent studies have shown history has a real chance of repeating itself this November and the overall favorite could loose. Polls are closer than ever. In a time where racial tolerance is becoming more profound, an atmosphere hosting the "appearance of tolerance" is ever-present.

Something called the "Bradley effect" has been tossed around recently. Without going into a huge history lesson, Tom Bradley lost a stunning defeat in the California Governor's race in 1982 after he was largely picked to be the winner by a landslide. David Dinkins had a similar experience in '89 where the polls showed him to be ahead of his competitor by as much as 15 or so points only to loose the election in the Virginia Governor's race. "So, Chicago Jedi, what's your point?" Well it's simple, we cannot sit back and assume CHANGE will come mystically. We have to work just as hard to CHANGE the General Election as we did to change the primary.

For those of us who are tired of being held under the thumb of a lying government and a President who imposes his will blindly without the thought of the people, CHANGE is as important as AIR. Speaking of air, we also could use a President who is concerned about its cleanliness.

IF we are to ensure that CHANGE in November, we have to work hard, we have to be determined, we cannot be fooled by the tricknology. THE CHICAGO JEDI encourages you all to host a party and watch both the DNC & the RNC. Pass the hat and donate it to who YOU consider to be the CHANGE candidate or MOVEON.ORG (you can find BOTH websites on this site).

In the prophetic words of Bill Cosby, "Come on, people!" Let's get involved, get into it.
Peace,
