[Peace] WCIA has posted a petition re resignation of Mayor Schweighart

[Jenifer Cartwright]

I just watched the Ch 3 News. The lead story was about Schweighart and titled, "Caught On Tape." The story ended w/ an online petition re the Mayor's resignation. Here's the link
to the story http://illinoishomepage.net/fulltext/?nxd_id=143655&watch=1 and the petition  http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/schweighartresign/
They played the YouTube video a couple of times, and took statements afterwards in which he reaffirmed his opinion that Obama isn't an American because he wasn't born in the US, tho' he conceded he's become a citizen since then. They interviewed the grad student John O'Connor, the guy who taped Schweighart. He said he went public w/ the tape because "it's the right of all citizens to know that he believes this and to make judgments based on this. He is a private citizen, but the fact is, he is also the mayor... and if he believes a fringe, frankly loony conspiracy theory, that directly impacts his ability to do his job." The report said that the mayor said his office has received several phone calls, some asking for his resignation, but that that's "something that won't happen anytime soon." County Board member Alan Kurtz said that the mayor should resign as he represents the city... and "How do you run a city when you don't have the facts?"
Jennifer Roscoe said that 3 cases re Obama's Citizenship had been filed w/ the IL Supreme Court and all had been dismissed. 
She also said that there is an online petition and that Channel 3 wants to know what we think. Again, here's that link http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/schweighartresign/ --Jenifer
