Dear Friends:?
I’m writing to ask for your help in obtaining the?16,000 signatures necessary to place David’s name on the ballot for the March Primary election.
As a long-time friend of David’s, you know that he has been a steady, consistent voice for progressive politics within the Democratic Party.? As Cook County Clerk, David has been at the forefront of voting rights, helping to make voter registration more accessible and voting easier.? He has been diligent in making the County Clerk’s office more efficient, saving Cook County taxpayers millions of dollars.? For more information on all?David has accomplished visit www.DavidOrr.org.
Below is?the link?that will get you started on circulating petitions among your friends, fellow workers, family members and other registered voters in Chicago and the Cook County suburbs.? Before downloading the petition I ask that you please complete the information form in full, even if you?have previously signed up for our?alert list.?
Once downloaded, be sure to print the petition?on plain white 8.5″ x 11″ paper.? Have registered voters sign – not print – their names and addresses on the lines provided.??Remember, this information must appear as it does on their voter registration card.?

Here’s a shot of the “petition table” in Evanson. Off the top of my head you could pick up petitions for Shakowsky, Suffredin, Debra Shore, Orr, etc. They’d sticker you up and you’d be on your way. A lot of us did downtown Evanston. Adam and maybe one or two others headed over to the Northwestern Stadium where there was a big game today.
In the words of Alex Amour, “in 6 months, we’ll have the primaries!”
