Historic.

Congratulations to Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Joe Biden, our nominees for President and Vice-President. Their task will be diffucult, but by highlighting our shared values - a fair shot wherever you start in life; the belief in the common decency of people; respect for the Constitution and individual rights of citizens - they will show our country, and the world, we can regain our status as that "shining city on a hill".

Now that the convention is over, the hard work begins. Whether it’s volunteering with a campaign, knocking on doors to meet new voters, or making a call to a neighbor to discuss local topics, we’ll need all of you to help with our endeavor.

We are at a crossroads in our country’s history – whether to go back to the failed policies of the past, or to go forward, and meet our destiny head-on.

Elgin and South Elgin have already made strides – electing a Sheriff, a State Senator, and a Congressmen. But it can’t stop there – tasks are left to be completed. Whether it is a Judge, a County Clerk, State Representative, County Board member, Senator, or even President, change always starts with you and your power of the vote.

We look forward to meeting you over the coming months. We will share our ideas, and we need to hear your concerns. We will prove to you that we are the change you are looking for. Visit us at our office located at 17 North Grove Street, Elgin, Il 60120. Our phone number is 847-214-9019, or you can fax us at 847-214-9025.

The Elgin Township Democrats would like to congratulate Hal Cattron on his recent appointment as a trustee of the Fox River Water Reclamation District.

Our best wishes go to Hal, who will make a valued addition to the district.


Remember that some returning veterans face a number of challenges - including a place in our society. Take time to visit The Midwest Shelter for Homeless Vets website. They are trying to improve the lives of our noble protectors, and they could use your help.
