CHICAGO - A citizens group is calling on Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. to resign.
Citizens of Illinois for Better Government members will gathered at noon Saturday in front of Jackson's Chicago office and called for his resignation.
Jackson's name has come up in the federal corruption investigation of Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
He's identified as Senate candidate five. Allegedly someone promised to raise money for Blagojevich if Jackson was appointed to President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat.
Jackson denies any wrongdoing.
