For those who think that Disclosure has nothing to do but sit around all day trying to “ruin peoples’” lives and “sling mud,” they need to learn a little re-definition…and understand what it is we really DO.
We expose corruption. It doesn’t matter who’s being corrupt. It doesn’t matter if you’ve “known the guy all your life and he’s a good guy!” It doesn’t matter if he (or she) goes to your church. It doesn’t matter if he or she goes and reads the luminaria list at the Relay for Life every year, coaches your kids’ soccer team, volunteers at a local animal shelter, what have you. If he or she is abusing we the taxpayers, he or she is CORRUPT…and it will be exposed.
And we’re not the only ones doing it.
Statewide, there’s a movement on to uncover, expose, and remove, if possible, the corrupt from our government, and restore Illinois to a modicum of respect instead of allowing it to languish in the mire of the reputation as one of the most corrupt states in the nation. And now, we’re getting big exposure from it.
Adam Andrzejewski, who operates For the Good of Illinois, a non-profit group dedicated to restoring the state, has posted this today in an email blast that went out to hundreds of thousands:
