Political Districting Update

I would like to thank everyone that has helped out over the past several weeks in getting signatures for the petition to district Winfield into six separate neighborhood voting areas.

Up until this point the petition has been brought door-to-door by people that have been selected because of their leadership rolls in their neighborhoods. We have one month to get as many signatures as possible and we need help. I would like to ask you, the concerned citizen of Winfield and reader of Winfield411.com to download the petition to your computer, print out a copy Winfield Ballot Initiative and walk around your neighborhood and get as many signatures as you possibly can.

Not only would additional signatures help our movement to bring FAIR REPRESENTATION to all parts of our village but it would also help the cause by starting very important dialogs and conversations about the desperate need for local representation among your neighbors. If you don’t feel comfortable in asking your neighbors for their signatures on their petitions, then please, just have a conversation with them if you see them out cutting their grass or tending their gardens. At the end of this month we are going to have a Barbeque and Ice Cream Social where you can turn in your signatures and have them notarized. Keep reading Winfield411.com for details.

Districting is probably the most important political change that can happen to this town. It will make for more accountable politicians and give you and your neighborhood a voice in village government.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved with a group that is walking the streets for signatures, please contact Tim Allen @ 630.344.9354 or email me at TimAllen57@gmail.com
