The New-Gazette is to be lauded for its decision to support a "Yes" vote for a Constitutional Convention.
The entire analysis in this article is accurate, and it is now incumbent upon the citizens of Illinois to do the hard work, organizing, phone calling, and lobbying their groups and organizations to support a "Yes" vote.

The Constitution of this State most definately does need changing, as the article said, these groups in general like the status quo, so of course they fear changes in the States Constition. That status quo is what needs to change because as it is the citizens of this State suffer more then these groups do.
