Into The Lions Den

Several citizens in the 8th District will be meeting with a representative from Congresswoman Melissa Bean's office to discuss her position on the issues.

MFSO-Chicago will be there to challenge her stance on the war, her reasons for continuing to issue a virtual "blank check" in the twice yearly "emergency" funding bills that she has signed and give her an election year message: Support our Troops: Bring Them Home Now and Take Care of Them When They Get Here. Ms. Bean has relied upon the fact that since she is a Freshman rep in the district that she was not in Congress when the war began. However, a review of her record shows that she favors a "stay the course" platform - that nearly 60% of the voters have rejected. We hope to change some minds here or perhaps find a candidate who votes for what the voters support.
