From the Residents'
Journal, the newpaper written by and for CHA residents...

Dear Friends,

I am thrilled to inform you that Residents' Journal's
unique bus tours of the inner city were featured in
the Los Angeles Times yesterday. I have pasted the
link as well as the text of the article below [deleted article, follow link].

There are still a few seats available for We The
People Media’s next open enrollment Bus Tour Thursday, July 12, from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Our bus leaves from the
Charles A. Hayes Family Investment Center, 4859 S.
Wabash Ave.

Your host for the bus tour, Residents’ Journal’s
national-award-winning Assistant Editor Beauty Turner, will take you to historic sites, provide you with data
and details about low-income families, and introduce
you to people who have been relocated from Robert
Taylor Homes, Stateway Gardens, Madden Park Homes and the city’s other, now-demolished high rise public
housing developments. We have provided similar tours
for Northwestern University's Freshman Urban Program,
the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, Cardinal Francis George and others.

Our last tour was almost at capacity, so I strongly
recommend contacting Beauty at (312) 745 2686 or
beauty@wethepeoplemedia.org ASAP to reserve your seat.
Tickets are $20 each. Plan on arriving no later than
12:45 p.m. The bus will leave promptly at 1:00 p.m.
I have attached a flier with some additional
information about We The People Media's bus tours. In addition to the open enrollment tours, we do schedule group tours as well. Call Beauty for rates and availability. Thank you for your interest and
attention.

As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with
any questions or concerns.

Story: A drive through Chicago's public housing past

--- Some CPS and mainstream media folk should sign up for this tour, imho.

[Gutierrez has Munoz and Maldonaldo wrapped around his finger.]

Don't get confused with this.

Gutierrez is the congressman.

Roberto Maldonaldo is the 26th Ward, Democratic Committeeman and he is the former brother in law to Gutierrez.

Gutierrez is the head of the 26th Ward organization on the North side.

Rick Munoz, is part of this same click.
Munoz owes Gutierrez, because it was Gutierrez who asked Daley to handpick Munoz to succeed Jesus Garcia when he became a State Senator.

Munoz and Maldonaldo are not enemies, they are with the same independent group.

So by Maldonaldo and Munoz in the ring. Don't be fooled, whoever if Gutierrez doesn't run, Gutierrez will win with a Munoz or Maldonaldo.

Why, because they owe Gutierrez and both are from the North and South sides.

Figure it out. Its a fact. Gutierrez thinks he is a Victor Reyes *HDO" Brain but he is not.
