To the Business Owners Who Keep Rogers Park Alive
You open early. You stay late. You pour your time, your money, and your heart into serving this neighborhood — and I see you.
I’ve watched small business owners in Rogers Park fight to survive in a system that doesn’t always listen, one that too often favors the big and well-connected. You deserve better.
Over the years, I’ve tried to do my part — promoting local shops, organizing events, and connecting neighbors to the businesses that make our community unique. I’ve sat across from many of you, listening to your stories and frustrations.
That’s why, when people ask me if I’m thinking about running for Alderman, I don’t dismiss it. I think about you.
I think about how much more we could do with real support from City Hall. With someone who’s already here, who already knows your names — and who’s already stood with you when times were tough.
If I ever take that step, it won’t be to become someone new. It’ll be to better serve the people I’ve already been standing beside — the ones building something real, one customer at a time.
Thank you for everything you do for Rogers Park. I’m here for you — now, and always.

Tom Westgard threatens to sue Rogers Park in 1,000 Words for runoff election prediction
Former attorney Thomas J. Westgard contacted Rogers Park in 1,000 Words early this morning with the threat of a lawsuit because of a public election prediction that did not favor longtime 49th Ward incumbent alderman Joseph A. Moore.
A copy of the twitter.com link to prediction is as follows:

Bold #49thWard #Alderman #race #prediction from #RogersPark in 1,000 Words http://rp1000.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-49th-ward-prediction.html
Westgard, recently being linked to the James Ginderske aldermanic campaign-fold-for Alderman Joe Moore, stated that "Rogers Park in 1,000 Words is a participant of a growing effort to overthrow Alderman Joe Moore in the coming 2011 Aldermanic election".
Additionally linked to the former The Urban Coaster newspaper with James Ginderske, Westgard's Mountain of Evidence blog has also been utilized in a pro-Moore fashion, bashing those whom are not under the direct control or direction of the incumbent 49th Ward alderman, including the former Don Gordon aldermanic campaign, the current Brian White aldermanic campaign, the current Blane Roberts aldermanic write-in campaign, the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce (note: not the Rogers Park Business Alliance), Lorraine Swanson's Lake Effect News and members of the Park Advisory Councils (located North of Howard Street).
Bill Morton of Rogers Park in 1,000 Words stated that " rather than just a prediction of a run-off in the upcoming 2011 election... After all of these threats and injustices, I am now dedicated to making the run-off a reality. Someone has to take a stand for the our community, and apparently my bold prediction for a 2011 run-off election was not enough".
