Olympic Games in Chicago?

How close is Chicago to getting the 2016 Olympics?

Urban Insurance Agency is based in Chicago and we would find it quite exciting to see the eyes of the world focused on Chicago. The additional attention will help bring more tourists as well as additional investment. Chicago would likely obtain an improved mass transit system and other basic infrastructure upgrades.
Below is a copy of a petition that seems to be working it's way across the internet.

Right now, the eyes of the world are on the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. But eight years from now, the world could be watching Chicago -- one of the last 4 cities still in the running to host the 2016 Olympics. So as we celebrate the Olympic spirit and watch athletes from around the world compete in Beijing, please join me in helping to bring the Games back to the U.S.A. and ensuring the Olympic flame burns brightly over the city of Chicago in 2016.

Chicago's beautiful parks, spectacular lakefront, top-notch sports venues, and wonderful people make it a world-class city that has what it takes to host the 2016 Olympics. That's why I've signed an online petition, spear headed by Senator Dick Durbin, to show the International Olympic the support for hosting the games here in Chicago is strong and enthusiastic -- and that thousands of people from all across America are speaking out.
Please join me by signing the petition as well!

Thank you for helping to make Chicago's dream of hosting the 2016 Games a reality!
