Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, Residents and Citizens of Franklin Park Illinois.

The election came to its conclusion at 7pm April 17, 2007. I did my best with the tools that were at hand to bring you important issues. I was not victorious in this election. The victories that were won are the issues that I brought to the campaign table.

Many voters cast their ballots for the candidates of their choice. Thank you to the voters who became aware of the issues through my videos and cast a vote in my favor. I also want to thank the many election judges that ran the polling in the precincts. Many of you stood to shake my hand. I am honored by both your courtesy and kindness. I felt a common bond with you, the bond of being an American and a bond of humanity.

My congratulations to the three elected trustees, Cheryl L. McLean, Paul D. Bellendir and Juan C. Acevedo. I will be watching for potentially good changes that you are capable of making to our village.

Thank You & Best Always,
Ben E. Kotowicz
