Calling All Artists - Time To Lead

Our governor was arrested at his home yesterday morning on corruption charges (I live in Chicago). The federal prosecutor accused the governor of embarking on a "political crime spree." This is a new low, even for Illinois. Do we need further proof that it's time to cultivate and harvest a new crop of leaders with new values who come from another place in our civic landscape?

If you're reading this - I'm talking to you. Please consider seeking leadership opportunities in your community and region. Please consider getting involved in local politics - helping candidates who share your values run and win - then stay involved to keep them honest. There's so much we can do to change the political scene from the bottom up.
