   Hi Mike, Jake Witmer here. I met you a few years ago at UIC, when I was helping to put Skinner on the ballot. …We talked about how you liked “We the Living” more than “Atlas Shrugged”, and are the descendant of east-european refugees from communism, like me. (We’ll have to fight the same battle our grandparents fought!)

   I’m back in IL, but likely out of IL politics from now on. I view IL as a good example of socialism becoming communism, for the rest of the USA, and the “leadership” of the CLP / ILP is unwilling to listen to any intelligent ideas on how to make us politically effective (strategy, game plan, etc…), so, screw ‘em. ..And therefore, heartland and NTUI will be the only pro-freedom games in town, and neither of them have the teeth of electoral politics done right. (They’re both great, but just not political parties.)

   I’m sorry I missed the vigil in AH. I like everything Bludorn has done, since he effectively plays politics. By the time I got there, 8:30, everyone was gone. I guess protests here don’t last as long as they do in Anchorage. I’ve been associated with http://www.stomptheban.com there for the last few months…

   Before the protest I was on Eric Dondero’s new internet readio show. I can’t be everywhere at once, man!

   Keep up the great site, look forward to seeing you again. I don’t go to the CLP meetings, but I will sometime, if you will. (I’ll be at the one on Feb 13th) I don’t get along too well with the old leadership though, so if you go, you might get to see some frowny-faces and cold stares.

   Anyway, rock on Mike!
