Democratic Lieutenant Governor Nomination

This sample application has already been submitted to the Illinois Democrats on behalf of Ms Princess Nudelman. Your LakeCountyEye assisted with her form because Ms Nudelman lacks opposable thumbs. (Operatives may recall your LakeCountyEye assisted in seeing Ms Nudelman was properly registered to vote in Lake County for the 2008 election.)

Operatives are asked not to submit the sample, but to please complete their own applications. Operatives are also asked not to solicit assistance from your LakeCountyEye. Even those Operatives lacking opposable thumbs. Operatives are instead encouraged to submit application forms on their own behalf, and on behalf of their friends, neighbors, relatives and co-workers. Remember, the more you play the more chances you have to win!
