NO OLYMPICS

The quick loss represents an embarrassment of international and local dimensions for a mayor who has dominated the city landscape and is used to getting what he wants.

My gosh, SCS, new threads here every day...change of management, perhaps? Whatever the reason, it is certainly REFRESHING.

To those of you that were so convinced that shortshanks would rule once again, HA HA HA! There is only one more piece of business to be carried out & that is him indicted. Shame on that worm. Now give the coppers the raise they deserve out of all the money that you stashed for the olympics.

Now is the time to strike hard!

We need to march on City Hall while the media is hungry and the Mayor is weak. The FOP/PBPA will not stand for us, we must stand for ourselves.

The next City Council Meeting with Mayor Richard M. Daley present will be this Wednesday.

Lets march on Wednesday October 7, 2009 @ 10:00AM

Please pass the word and circulate flyers,emails,text messages,phone calls,additional web posts,etc. Bring your friends, neighbors, relatives, coworkers. Retirees please step up and back your brothers and sisters in blue. We need your help now.

The international and the national press are still focused upon Chicago and will pick this up. It is going to be cold soon, now is the time.

Now is the time! Please pass the word and lets welcome the Mayor home.

The Mayor has declared war upon us, so be it. Lets show Duggan that we are truly warriors!!!

And just who should be leading the charge against city hall??

FOP? Fat Chance. Nice fantasies for the rabble rousers.

How about finding a suitable candidate, Hoffman, Chiampas, or whomever the consensus decides, then BACK that candidate to the hilt, $, precinct work, to counter the Machine.

WORK, not talk will be the only thing to save our city.

(Would't hurt to make sure ACORN is no part of the process)

ACORN will be everywhere. I guarantee it.

It's been a good run.

But it looks like this is the end of Chalkie 2016.

We've been able to donate over $1,250.00 to The Hundred Club. That's way way beyond our wildest dreams. Chalkie is a very popular guy.

Thanks to SCC, Shaved and Second City Sarge for their support.

We will be taking orders for one last printing.

THANK YOU
Chalkie

Wednesday's City Hall March

I expect to see Cook County Board President Candidate, Lt. John Garrido, to be upfront and leading the troops if he expects a single police vote.

Mike Shields was elected by us to represent us, he had better be upfront leading. Mike loves to tell the story about how his brother led the troops into the Mayor's office during the last contract march. Talk is cheap, lets see you lead us now. No more talk about taking Daley out. Talk is cheap, we demand action.

Jimmy Maurer can now lead us too, now that he got a taste of City Hall. Jimmy it's time to ante up and lead the mean and women like a real General would do.

I also expect to see all of the FOP & PBPA officers leading from the front. If you expect us to vote for any of you, LEAD!

The time is now, the media is keenly focused on Chicago and the Mayor is weak.

Lets saddle up and get er done!

Come support the Men & Women of the Chicago Police Department and the Chicago Fire Department.

FIGHT FOR A FAIR CONTRACT!

Are you sick of taxation without representation, Dictator Daley, skyrocketing crime, children killed in the streets daily, the worst schools and mass transit in the USA and no contract?

Lets Welcome the Mayor Home

Wednesday October 7th 2009 at 10:00am at City Hall, 121 N La Salle St
Assemble at the Daley Center at 9:45am in front of the Picasso Sculpture

All Labor Unions & concerned citizens are Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring friends, neighbors, relatives, children and anyone and everyone who has had enough of the Chicago Corruption Machine.

Please dress accordingly, anticipated weather 60°F with sun

Bring tastefully worded signs and let your voice be heard!

It is encouraged to travel via the CTA

It is time for change in Chicago!

YES WE CAN!

Spread the word, now is the time. The national and international media are still focused on the folly of the 2016 Olympic bid.

The Olympics has nothing to do with our contract. The City does not give a shit about CPD. There will be no money, no hiring, no promotions. And even bigger, the general public does not give a shit about CPD and our alleged woes. get out and talk to more than just your police friends. I have a job, and I thank God every day.

Fellow Officers,

The event will take place in the Venue, a separate room from the casino, which is on the 2nd Fl. There will be blackjack, craps and roulette tables set up to play. There is also a Texas Hold Em poker tournament with a 1st place prize being a 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Seat, as well as prizes to anyone who makes the final table. Only 500 poker tickets will be available. The Chicago Bears will be playing the 49ers on Thursday night football with the game being shown on multiple large screen TV's to enjoy as well. The entry fee into the Venue will be $25 which includes food and refreshments. The entry fee into the poker tourney is $100 which includes the $25 entry fee into the venue. $20 raffle tickets are also being sold with multiple trips to Las Vegas being raffled off. 2 trips for every 500 tickets sold will be awarded. Please come out and support this event. All proceeds made will DIRECTLY benefit his son Alex Jr. Any questions regarding this event can be directed to:

___________________________________

Just a reminder to people who have changed the term Korshak Settlement to Korshak Decision. Decision Vs. Settlement. Two different but very real meanings and implications.

Decision implies it was out of the parties' hands and in the hands of a judge. Settlement is what it was. An agreement by all parties that was accepted by the plaintiffs.

It wasn't a decision by a judge. It was a settlement agreed to by all parties which was not good for the active members.

It was and always will be the Korshak SETTLEMENT. They believed that 2013 date was a good deal for them because they would all be on medicare by then. They only looked out for number one.

The Korshak SETTLEMENT

Please keep in mind that this is an open blog
that can and is read by people other than Chicago Police Officers.
