July the Fourth Voting


“In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
George Orwell
July the Fourth Voting!

Allow an entire week for people to vote on the first week of July the forth.

Allowing people to vote on the first week of July the fourth; thus ensure citizens the time to vote that current voting practices do not.

The fourth of July is a day off for so many people; students and workers alike. Often public transportation is free and readily available in so many cities, townships and the like. Friends and neighbors can carpool. The benefits are endless!

The weather is warmer, sunnier and agreeable for the elderly, handicapped and the young; instead of being bone chilling cold, wet and snowy like February or November.

In these challenging, uncertain and difficult economic times so many people are working two or three or more jobs to merely survive. So many people cannot vote on a singe Tuesday because either they’re too tired, or cannot afford the time and energy of transportation that a single day of voting demands while getting off from work.

We should all celebrate the Fourth of July by being able to vote! What greater why to remember and honor the brave women and men who have given their fullest measure.

We the people must now decide the future of our elected officials. Not a selected few. Secret balloting, voting fraud and irregularities! For a fair, accountable and transparent voting for all Americans, we the people now must demand, that elected officials from alderman to mayors from congressmen to presidents be elected on the first week of July the forth!

Case Study - Skokie 2009 April Election:
  1. Why did Skokie have an election in April?
  2. Was it to have as little turnout as possible?
  3. During religious holidays!
  4. College Exams!
  5. Spring Break
  6. Or to confuse Skokie residents who are accustomed to voting in February and November ?
If approximately 68,423 residents (see Green above in charts) live in a township and an elected official won by 1,749 votes (see Orange above in charts) was that a transparent & publicly known election?

If an election was taking place about a year (2009) before regular Cook County voting (2010) was this in the public best interest of being transparent, open & faire elections?

Was the public informed in 2009 of the time & place to vote in multiple languages with various informational brochures like regular Cook County 2010 election season?

Would the public be more or less informed of where, when & how to vote if the Village of Skokie elections had taken place during regular Cook County February 2010 election season instead of April 2009?
