See you at the picnic
On Sunday, July 23, my eldest sister turns 22. Wish Elaine M. Anderson a Happy Birthday.
Also, on that day the 8th Ward Regular Democratic Organization will host it's annual picnic. This picnic will be the most important of my brief political career. All eyes will be on Todd Stroger, I am sure he will do well. But I encourage you all to come. There will not be a lot of pomp and circumstance, the sole purpose of this picnic is to have fun. There will be lots of food, games for kids, horse rides and other activities. So, I will see you there.

I think I am an internet whore :-(
Guess who has a Myspace.com account? I haven't created an unique url but you can find me via my e-mail,
kristopherandersonyd@hotmail.com, my display name, KJ or my full name.
I hope they do not creat a new internet community!
Todd Stroger is the man!
Please support Ald. Stroger and his bid to be the Democratic nominee for the Cook County Board. 80 Committeeman/ Ward Bosses will meet this Tuesday to decide who will be the nominee. Todd Stroger is more than qualified and his advancement bodes well for the South Side, people of color and young people. Soon I will post his accomplishments and resume.
If you have an event in the months of Sept., Oct. or Nov. please let me know. Todd needs to introduce himself to the public at large and will be glad to meet you and your group.

Go to a museum!
What did I do over my Spring Break? I got educated. I visited the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum and I encourage all of my friends to do the same.
The feature exhibit is "
The African Presence in Mexico", From Yanga to the Present. I never knew there was an African presence in Mexico. This is untrue. Similar to Puerto Rico some slave ship landed in Mexico and shortly thereafter a new people came forth. I'll provide you with some teasers...
* The song Llabamba made famous by Richie Valens is an African-Mexican folk song.
** The resort city of Aculpoco is next to a state within Mexico that has a large population of African-Mexicans. Most people assume these people are dark because of exposure to the sun,
UNTRUE.
Well I hope you visit.

Young Democrats Downstate
Downstate YD's are participating in this election cycle in full force. Ty Bates of County is campaigning to be a member of the Marion County Board. As a member of the County Board Ty will help establish a budget and oversee county government. This is an awesome responsibility and Ty Bates is an awesome candidate. He is bright, educated and a hard-worker. He is a correctional officer and wants to do much to stop young people from entering prison system. Also, he is a family man, he and his wife, Carrie are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl. (Like a good Democrat he named his daughter Kennedy).
I ask all my readers and supporters to donate to Ty. A few dollars go a long way, especially in Southern Illinois :-). A $10. or $25. check will help Ty greatly. Be a good Democrat and help a Young Democrat.
