VOTE BROWN ON FEB. 27TH,PUNCH 3

On Feb.27 it is time for a change and it starts all the way at the top. We need to elect Dorothy Brown mayor of the City of Chicago. I am so tired of hearing from people that she has no chance. It is those type of people who keep corruption going whether they vote for corruption or they refuse to vote altogether. People always want to complain about services that are supposed to be provided by the city and yet vote for the people who are supposed to be held responsible. Dorothy brown is a viable candidate for mayor, she is an attorney,she has an MBA and a CPA. She also has a masters in business. It's time for a change and that change starts now.
