On Monday, Oct. 28, GPAD is holding a public meeting at Palatine Library so we can all learn about the "Restoring Our Democracy" bill. In January the new Congress introduced the Bill,  H.R. 1. This Bill (yes now it's only a Bill) has another name: "For the People Act of 2019." And it is full of delightful measures to expand voter registration, improve election security and government ethics. And expand the ban on foreign nationals contributing money to influence our elections. Because sometimes, there oughta be a law.

Join your Dem and Progressive friends THIS TUESDAY AT 7 P.M. to watch the fourth Democratic Presidential Debate--one night only! At the Northwest Suburban Office, 1310 W. Northwest Highway, Arlington Heights. Pizza! Politics! Who'll be on the stage:

We elected more local Democratic officials last year, and they came to GPAD's fundraiser last week to talk about how they are making government better! But before we get into that: THANK YOU! to all the supporters, volunteers, elected officials and candidates who came out last Thursday to hear U.S. Rep. Sean Casten and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle at Greater Palatine Area Democrats' Fall Fundraiser at Arlington Lakes Golf Club in Arlington Heights. THANK YOU! to all the donors who gave generously to support both GPAD and Wheeling Township Democrats. Photo: left, the Hon. Toni Preckwinkle and the Hon. Matt Flamm at the Oct. 10 Fall Fundraiser.
