Civil Multilog about Civil Unions, Inviting IL Legislature District 47 Candidates. Illinois, like every other state, is examining civil rights questions: Who may marry? What rights should gay partners have? Probing these issues tonight is a recently filmed panel of four notables representing 1) National Organization of Women / NOW, 2) Gay Liberation Front, 3) Greens, and 4) Log Cabin Republicans. Invited to view and critique the film with us are all candidates vying to serve in the Illinois General Assembly from the 47th District: the encumbent Representative Patricia Bellock (Republican), Bob Mueller (Green), and Jim Speta (Democrat).
