Demonstrated At Chicago City Hall

Late last night I was relaxing and thought of something to write down. So, as I began to write this down, I began to realize this should either be posted on here or be posted on a sign. I checked out the phone book and pin pointed the Chicago City Hall.

I do have a political science degree from a Illinois university, and yet nobody seems to want to hire me for political work. I thought well I could start with a peaceful demonstration. Maybe I could get some fame, or be featured in a article.

My sign was about two Immigration Plans. I wanted to give a prospective of the realities of wants really going on. I wrote on both sides of my sign, and used some red and black markers with a tall pole.

On the front side which I generally held for people to see walking towards me said:

U.S. Conservative
Immigration Plan:
Pro-Central Americans
Anti-OverSea Stranger

On the reverse side I featured the liberal approach:

Liberal Media
Immigration Plan:
Pro-OverSea Strangers
Anti-Central American

So on this first demonstration voyage I went solo. As I walked towards downtown I began to notice nearly everybody was looking at my sign. Then I arrived at Chicago City Hall by 7:00 A.M. I wanted to put my message in all the City and State workers going into for their shifts. It didn't take long until four guys appeared outside the city hall. They were chatting between themselves smiling at me, so I showed them both sides of the sign, and then they smiled at me and rushed inside. Then I wondered if they were informants for Mayor Daley. Later I saw somebody that closely resemembled Mayor Daley, except it looked like he had a white wig on.

I stood next to the American Flag pole facing westward on 121 LaSalle Drive. City workers walking up to the building were all reading my sign. I paced back and forth in front of the main entrance to the Chicago City Hall. Then I noticed a squad car drive past and turned on their lights when they stopped at the stop light. They did a U-Turn then I was nervous... It was a couple of black cops and I just smiled and started to walk to the corner.

Upon reaching the corner their was a guy selling newspapers, and he told me to walk around the block, and pointed to two corners people stand at giving out fliers.
I walked around the City Hall block, Then I walked around the Thompson building block. I stood at the corner were all the state workers walked up to the building. They of course all snubbed my sign, and nobody said anything. Some smiled, some shook their heads, etc. I saw several Latino's smiling at me, and one Latino lady stood nearby and seemed like she was going to talk to me.

Anyways, eventually a state trooper from the Thompson state building walked up to me, and inquired about the sign. I told him I am just trying to give a perspective of what is going on. He said he just needed to write down what it was about. Thankfully he didn't want to know my name.

I told him I am neither from over sea or central America. I mentioned I was a state citizen from down south, and I am a tenth generation Illinosian. He smiled warmly to me, and asked if I would only be walking around for another hour? I told him, "I was embarrassed because I've never done anthing like this, and I was getting tired, So I would leave soon." He politely received me, and then he departed with notes about my sign that probably reached some high office in the Illinois State Thompson building.

The word in the Chicago Tribune is that Mayor Daley might hire a Latino as the new City Clerk of Chicago...
