Congratulations to @JPCarlin on getting married.
The long serving politicians got us here and voters have no one to blame but themselves. In Chicago and Cook County we need a two party system. Not just the Democrat Party. People need to get more involved with politics and not just sports. Chicago can do better! Thanks Chicago Way for informing everyone!!
