Illinois 6th

We have a tough fight out in the Illinois 6th district. One Term Republican congressman Peter Roskam against Jill Morgenthaler.  Jill is a vet, a retired Colonel, a bronze star winner with 30 years of active and reserve military service. She did ten months in Iraq and has served in a bunch of other hot spots in her career.  She has worked at the Argonne National Laboratory and as the Illinois Homeland Security Advisor.

The fight has suddenly gotten very loud and very dirty, at least on the RED side. It must be that they fear the coat tails effect of the Obama wave. The Roskam campaign is hitting hard with an extremely negative campaign that is full of slurs and lies.

In the last election, Tammy Duckworth was also very unfairly maligned by Roskam. She is also an Iraqi War Hero, a triple amputee Helicopter Pilot and would have been good for Vets and the middle class in Illinois. She almost won, but was a victim of another Republican dirty smear campaign. John McCain chose to come out and campaign against this fellow vet, to fight against her while supporting a rich trial lawyer. I for one will not forgive him for that.

The best thing that anyone interested can do is contribute to Jill's campaign. http://www.jillmorgenthaler.com/

The Obama campaign is not sharing the riches with senate and congressional races, and considering the tough fight that he is in I do not blame them. The only other thing that can be done, is to circulate this campaign ad that we have created on Jill's behalf. We will have more later this week.

The Republicans are playing dirty. Honesty is getting thrown out the window. We have to fight back with the facts.

More is available, mostly McCain videos, at www.hadnuf.com

Thanks for listening.
