A writer must “know and have an ever-present consciousness that this world is a world of fools and rogues… tormented with envy, consumed with vanity; selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions… He should free himself of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, politics…” —Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). “The nobility of the writer's occupation lies in resisting oppression, thus in accepting isolation” —Albert Camus (1913-1960). “What are you gonna do” —Bertha Brown (1895-1987).

I received the IEA’s (IPACE) recommended candidates for the Nov. 8 General Election Today

Let us not forget that the following "IEA recommended" candidates had voted to diminish public employees’ constitutionally-guaranteed pensions not too long ago:

Illinois Senate:

Mattie Hunter, Patricia Van Pelt, John Cullerton, Heather Steans, John Mulroe, Kwame Raoul, Bill Cunningham, Iris Martinez, Michael Connelly, Laura Murphy, Julie Morrison, Pamela Althoff, Steve Stadelman, Don Harmon, Christine Radogno, Pat McGuire.

There are also 20 IEA “No recommendations” from various districts. Keep in mind we might assume many of these unnamed candidates voted to diminish public pensions as well (consider unnamed Daniel Biss, for example).

Illinois House:

Cynthia Soto, Chris Welch, Arthur Turner, Ann Williams, Sara Feigenholtz, Kell Cassidy, Lou Lang, Laura Fine, Robyn Gabel, MICHAEL MADIGAN, Michael Zalewski, Christian Mitchell, Monique Davis, Thaddeus Jones, Mary Flowers, Andre Thapedi, Marcus Evans, Fran Hurley, Kelly Burke, Fred Crespo, Deb Conroy, Martin Moylan, Michelle Mussman, ELAINE NEKRITZ, Scott Drury, Carol Sente, Sam Yingling, Kathleen Willis, Linda Chapa LaVita, Stephanie Kifowit, Emily McAsey, Natalie Manley, John Bradley.

There are also 35 IEA “No recommendations” from various districts. Keep in mind we might assume many of these unnamed candidates voted to diminish public pensions as well.

Any questions about not voting for these IEA recommendations?
