CHICAGO – NTUI Tax Villain of the Month Bill Brady called off some of his dogs late last week, allowing the Libertarian Party of Illinois to be on the ballot November 2, 2010. Although this is reason to celebrate, it is important to note that the Constitution Party is still being kept off the ballot by Republicans who do not want the additional competition.

There are five candidates for Governor on the November 2 ballot. They are Independent Scott Lee Cohen, Libertarian Lex Green, and the three major party candidates Brady (R), Quinn (D), and Whitney (G).

Drawing on data collected through its Current Population Survey, the Bureau of Labor Statistics every month publishes the rate of unemployment by age, gender, race, class of worker, disability status, industry, veteran status, educational attainment, occupation, and marital status. In addition, it publishes the rate for native-born workers along with the rate for foreign-born workers. Much of this information is available in seasonally-adjusted and not seasonally-adjusted form.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Brady has enlisted members of his family in his effort to knock the Libertarian party of Illinois off the November ballot, thereby wasting taxpayer dollars and reducing voter choice. According to a published report, Bill Brady’s niece Brittany is working for Andrew Heffernan, the person that signed the official objection to the petition signatures of the Libertarian Party slate of candidates along with many others. All of the work related to those petition challenges is being done on Heffernan’s behalf, according to Illinois election laws.

Bill Brady and the Illinois Republican Party are behind the petition challenges to several legitimate candidates who have filed to run for office in Illinois. The “binder check” process has revealed countless examples of completely bogus objections to petition signatures. Election office employees threw out tens of thousands of those bogus objections from Brady and the Republicans because the signatures were obviously valid.
