		<description>Sir, I criticized the amendment with substance and provided alternatives that you have not addressed. If you can point out where I criticized this man personally, please point it out. Good luck with that. The closest one could come is to point out what I had to say about a letter to the editor he wrote, notice please, that what I said was true.  
 
You say that all you know about me is what you have read here, yet earlier you went so far s to tell me what world I live in, not to mention that on the one hand you tell what I am doing while at the same time admitting that you don&#039;t know at all what I do or do not do.  Interesting....  
 
 You say you laid out the problem and how to fix it.  I did, and will continue doing, the same thing.  I will vote no and I will encourage everyone I know to do the same thing, while being fully willing and very able to explain why. 
 
Fair enough?   
 
 
 
Let me ask you this, Should something be supported just because it will &quot;survive a court challenge&quot;?  Judicial activism is a major player in he problems that exist in this country, much less this state, today. Many gun laws have &quot;survived court challenges&quot;  for a long time. This doesn&#039;t mean that those laws were right and proper, much less that they were due support.  
 
Let me ask you this as well, are the problems with our federal legislature solved by replacing it with a unicameral legislature?    </description>

		<description>Ashrak,

lead whatever movement you want to lead and fix the system how you want.

What I do know is that Bambenek is a doer. He&#039;s created an amendment, he&#039;s gathering the signatures, and he&#039;s working with lawyers to make sure it withstands all challenges. You have come on this site to criticize him. That&#039;s all I know about you so far. So false premise, no false premise, I have laid out what is the problem and how this amendment would attempt to fix them. If you don&#039;t like it, vote no. So far, all I know is that you&#039;ve criticized his amendment. What you&#039;re doing to fix the problem is still anyone&#039;s guess.</description>

		<description>Does anyone remember when Pat Quinn led the grassroot effort to cut the IL House by a third?  They accomplished the effort and the gov&#039;t we now have in IL is the result of it.  It&#039;s never a good thing to take away representation of the people - it leads to corrupt control.  Thanks... </description>
