If you've tried to access our website in the past week and couldn't, try again: it's there. The site was down for a brief time while we changed to a new Internet Service Provider. Now that we're back, we're better than ever. The site has new data for the Spring 2007 elections in Chicago, and State data should be up in the next week. The FCC is Coming to Chicago: September 20 The FCC is holding its fifth official public
hearing on media ownership issues in Chicago on Thursday, September 20th.,

be held at Operation Push National Headquarters in Dr. King's Workshop, located
at 930 East 50th Street (corner of South Drexel Blvd.) in Chicago. ICPR's Cindi Canary will be there to
testify. Start thinking now about what
your testimony might look like!
