"We have made great strides in cutting the murder rate, thanks to the hard and innovative work by the Chicago Police Department and vigorous prosecutions by our assistant state's attorneys. A key part of the strategy in reducing violent crime has been Project Safe Neighborhoods."
"We are sending the wrong signal to our community when a successful program to take guns out of the hands of criminals and severely punish the ex-convicts caught with them must be dismantled for lack of funding. This is not the time to cut funds for this important program. If anything, we should increase the support for Project Safe Neighborhoods." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
