When I think of his campaign and what he said at CREW -I think it is a campaign based on revenge. For what happened to his relative and other members of the community. I do not feel he would bring us all together and spend the majority of his time for economic growth and better schools. The interview speaks for itself; he would go after the police department, rescind 287g application and cut out any effectiveness the code compliance department has.
Get everyone you can to get out and vote during this primary. Do research about the son as well. Is he still on the ballot for 2nd alderman? I've heard him speak numerous times and was equally turned off by his aggressiveness and one-sided support for certain people.
We know how his organizational skills went during the boycotts.... Again the threats.... :roll:
Proposal leads to boycott threat

Activists in Waukegan who oppose a program that would empower police to
enforce federal immigration law ratcheted up the rhetoric this week,
threatening to boycott businesses that support the measure.
Jose Guzman, head of the Waukegan branch of the Labor Council for Latin
American Advancement, said the city's Latino residents are fed up with
mistreatment at the hands of police. The city's unwillingness to back
off pursuing federal immigration training is a line in the sand, Guzman
said, and another example of what he called Waukegan's "anti-immigrant"
policies.
"We can finish this tomorrow, we can do this today; all they have to do
is pull out [of the program]," Guzman said. "We don't want to [boycott],
but they forced us to do it."
He said many details of the boycott, being organized by his group and
the Chicago-based immigrant-rights group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, have yet
to be determined. Organizers will attempt to determine which local
businesses support the federal program and broadcast the information via
Spanish-language radio and meetings, asking residents not to patronize
those establishments.
