Despite that I hadn’t mentioned his bill (or perhaps because) Jeff Trigg has placed a new ad supporting his initiative to reduce the barriers to non-established parties in the State of Illinois. His initiative would reduce signatures required to get on the ballot amonst other things. I was planning to voice support before, so by buying an ad, he puts me in the awkward stance of announcing my support as he buys the ad, but it’s still a good bill.
Allowing more parties on the ballot only increases potential participation in democracy and that is a good thing. Help Jeff out. Click on the ad in the upper right.
