What a brilliantly written article, you seem to grasp what some of us have known for a while. Kudos to you for the attempted neutrality here, and welcome to the new awareness of the Chicago taxpayer!

They're telling the IOC and the world press that all the corruption in Chicago began and ended with Governor Blago and that there is NO corruption in Chicago. So you can imagine the surprise from IOC members and media people when they started looking through our 160+ page "Book of Evidence" which were adding to right up to the hour it was printed in Lausanne this past Monday. Folks, we've been on this for over six months and it's been a LONELY fight as NO civic organization in the city would touch the Olympic isse - it was radioactive. So go to http://www.nogameschicago.com and -- (1) sign up for our email newsletter (2) make a donation via PayPal (not deductible) so we can pay off the debts incurred to go to Switzerland and so we can do more going forward (3) email us at nogameschicago@gmail.com and offer to HELP US If you are still angry and you don't jump in now, then you are burdening our small group of volunteers with the job of saving the city from financial ruin by ourselves. It's not fair and we may not win on our own - it's MUCH too big a fight for us to handle without some serious help.
