Cook County Commissioner Timothy Schneider, Update

From the office of Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider (15th District)…

Schneider Votes No On Red Light Cameras:

This Tuesday, the Cook County Board voted to authorize the use of red light cameras at 30 different intersections in Cook County (9 of which will be located in Schaumburg and Elk Grove). Sadly, this is just another way for Cook County to fleece it’s taxpayers, and is exactly why I voted no. Red light cameras are all about revenue for the county and less about public safety for it’s citizens.

From the Dold for Congress campaign (10th District)…

Washington, D.C., June 7, 2010 — The National Federation of Independent Business, America’s leading small business association, announced its endorsement of Bob Dold in the race for the open seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from Illinois’ 10th District.

The endorsement comes from NFIB’s Save America’s Free Enterprise Trust, the association’s political action committee, and is based on positions on key small business issues.

Video: Let ME Stir ‘Em UP, Baby

-By Warner Todd Huston

Illinois Congressman Peter Roskam held a townhall last week after which he had video stations set up for folks to add their own ideas to the mix. He called it “Speaking Out” and I sure did.

the good congressman may not have been all so happy with my speaking out… but, hey, he ASKED for it! Ha ha.

Congressman Roskam has a YouTube channel (HERE) where you can see the other voters speaking out, too.


Ill. Congressman Hare: Puffing Military Record and Intimidating Voters

-By Warner Todd Huston

Congressman Phil Hare (IL, 17th District) is the perfect example of the sort of congressman no one should want. He’s arrogant. He’s dismissive. He’s self-important. He’s easy to anger. And worst of all he has disdain for his own voters. The man is simply a creep.

In April we had video of this arrogant cuss saying that he didn’t care about the U.S. Constitution in the Obamacare fight. Apparently that darned old rag of paper is meaningless to this powermad pol.

This time we have Congressman Hare intimidating a voter and demanding that this Vietnam vet supply the congressman with his home address so that he, the congressman, can track the constituent down and further threaten him.

ShoreBank Rally on Wednesday at Noon‏

From Tea Party Patriots Chicago…

We’re holding a rally against the ShoreBank bailout on Wednesday, June 9 at noon outside the downtown location of ShoreBank at 134 N. LaSalle Street, across the street from City Hall. Joel Pollak, candidate for U.S. Congress (IL-9), and Isaac Hayes, candidate for U.S. Congress (IL-2), are scheduled to speak at the rally. We will be handing out fliers to educate the public on the corrupt, politically connected bailout of ShoreBank.

ShoreBank has received $35 million in stimulus funds, $75 million from companies that have received bailout money (Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, GE), and now they’re hoping to receive another $75 million in taxpayer money. ShoreBank provided Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Trinity United Church with a $10 million line of credit – now they need a bailout. We hope this rally can bring attention to this issue and help prevent this looting of our treasury. ShoreBank is attempting to cash-in on their connections with Barack Obama, Jan Schakowsky, Robert Creamer, Dick Durbin, Van Jones and more. At the very least, no taxpayer money should go to ShoreBank until there is a forensic audit of their finances.

Steve Rauschenberger Officially Launches Bid for 22nd District State Senate Seat

-By Warner Todd Huston

Steve Rauschengerger held the State Senate seat of the 22nd District for many years until he bowed out to make a run for Governor in 2006. Since that time Rauschenberger imagined that he had hung up his political hat, never to run again. That was until the current General Assembly retired for the Summer without a final budget. It was then that he knew he had to run again.

“This is the worst situation in Springfield I can ever imagine,” Rauschenberger said after his kickoff address to a crowd of about 75 people in his Elgin campaign office on Douglas Avenue. The Chicago-based leadership “felt politics were more important” than coming up with a balanced budget, Rauschenberger said.

“There are 48 other states that have a balanced budget,” Rauschenberger said, noting that the only other state in as dire a situation as Illinois is California, which has a $16 billion budget deficit.

Good luck to Mr. Rauschenberger.

Rep. Peter Roskam’s Townhall (IL 6th District)

-By Warner Todd Huston

U.S. Representative Peter Roskam held a townhall back home in his 6th Congressional District in Illinois this weekend in Roselle, Illinois. This was a sort of dual purpose event, part one meant to advertise the GOP leadership’s new website project AmericaSpeakingOut, and part two being an open forum for anyone to ask the congressman a question.

I must say, it was refreshing to see a townhall where both left and right leaning questioners were able to interact with a congressman without yelling and screaming. The left was well represented in this right-leaning district by an email blast from MoveOn.org that alerted the lefties in the area to attend. It seemed that about 1/3 of the questions were from the left perspective.

First up Roskam discussed AmericaSpeakingOut.com.

Bill Brady for Illinois: With Quinn at Helm 218,000 Illinois Jobs Lost

From Brady for Illinois Governor…

As usual, Governor Pat Quinn is attempting to distract from the real issues and his failure to lead. This time, he has help from the Democrat Governor’s Association.

On Friday, Governor Quinn was criticized for taking $75,000 in campaign contributions from the Teamsters – just before using his power to change McCormick Place reforms in order to specifically benefit the union. If not overruled by the General Assembly, Governor Quinn’s actions could have cost Chicago 66,000 jobs in the convention and tourism industry.

Thanks for Not Reading the Bill Bean

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – The Democrats were in such a rush to pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) before they wrote it, they did not notice it was missing the ‘severability’ clause. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it best, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

Investopedia defines a ‘severability’ clause as, “a contract with a severability clause is essentially one contract divided into many different parts: default on one component of the contract does not prevent the rest of the contract from being fulfilled. If a sentence, clause or term in a contract is deemed invalid by a court, then this problem area of the contract will most often be rewritten to fit both the contract’s original intent and the requirements of the court”.

If a court rules any part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as unconstitutional it will likely mean the entire law will be thrown out.

If Melissa Bean read the 2,400 page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act then why did a 3 term congresswoman not notice the missing ‘severability’ clause?

Hispanic Pandering Cook County Commish Attacks Commish Peraica, Son of Immigrants

-By Warner Todd Huston

This is how hatemongers like Cook County Eddie Reyes play their little games, isn’t it? In Tuesday’s Cook County Board meeting a resolution to boycott Arizona-based companies to exclude them from being patronized by Cook County government was discussed and the pandering Reyes as much as called Commissioner Tony Peraica, himself a son of immigrants, a racist because he voted against the boycott of Arizona companies.

During the debate, Reyes told Peraica, “and Tony, honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself for being a son of immigrants and going thru the process and not having the heart to support this issue.”

Like many of his pandering ilk, Reyes imagines that the Arizona law is merely some race card issue he can throw out. Peraica did not take kindly to being called a racist, however.

Gay Blogger Claims Mark Kirk (R, IL) Told Him He’s Gay

-By Warner Todd Huston

Michael Rogers has made an unsavory name for himself “outing” gay politicians. Today he has targeted for his next “outing” operation GOP Illinois Senate candidate Congressman Mark Kirk. It’s something Rogers says he’s known since 2004.

Why has Rogers waited some six years to “out” Kirk? Because, Rogers says, Kirk recently announced his support for the Pentagon’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy that keeps gay members of the military serving under a cloud of silence about their sexual preferences. Kirk has said that he does not want DADT repealed and Rogers thinks that is an affront to Kirk’s supposed gay compatriots.

Melissa Bean’s – “The Hill” Ratings

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – For the last 5+ years Rep. Melissa Bean has touted government accountability, fiscal responsibility and tax relief. But does her record live up to her rhetoric? What has Rep. Bean been doing on our behalf? For starters, ignoring and avoiding her more conservative constituents. So much for accountability. She also voted for all major deficit laden, big government legislation such as bailouts, stimulus and health care. So much for fiscal responsibility. And has anyone noticed any tax relief in the last 5 years?

So what else should we know about Rep. Bean before the November election? If she’s reelected will her conduct and votes reflect our principles and values?

Ill. Gov. Who Says ‘I Always do the Right Thing,’ Said the Same thing About Blago

-By Warner Todd Huston

Sometimes words come back to haunt you, ya know? Ask Illinois Governor Pat Quinn who has just said something that is as bad as when a husband tells his wife she really does look fat in that dress. It’s something that just can’t be forgotten.

Last week Governor Pat “I’m For the Little Guy” Quinn took some guff for his pay-to-play union payoff when he signed an amendatory veto that benefited the Teamsters Union. As soon as Quinn issued the veto that would help the Teamsters his opponents highlighted the fact that Gov. Quinn only last month received $750,000 in political contributions from the union.

Quinn scoffed at the idea that he was handing his union pals a big payoff.

Kirk Bio Wrongly IDs Military Award, is That Worse Than ‘Mob Banker’ Alexi’s Financial Failures?

-By Warner Todd Huston

Representative Mark Kirk (R,IL) has admitted that the bio on his webpage has had to be altered to reflect a change in the identification of a military award it had previously accredited to him.

Kirk’s bio page originally claimed that he had been awarded the U.S. Navy’s Intelligence Officer of the Year award. This, however, was in error. It appears that his unit received this award, he did not individually receive the citation.

Kirk told the press, “upon a recent review of my records, I found that an award listed in my official biography was misidentified.” According to Navy records the Vice Admiral Rufus L. Taylor Award was issued to the entirety of the Intelligence Division Electronic Attack Wing at Aviano.

Kirk’s opponent, Alexi “the mob banker” Giannoulias has played this up as a major transgression, of course. Amusingly, Giannoulias comes from the same leftist wing of the Party that is currently excusing Connecticut Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal who didn’t just goof up a particular award he was given but completely lied about his service as a Marine in Vietnam… as in he never served in Vietnam.

Ill. Policy Institute: Laughable‏

“Unlike the United States, New Jersey Can’t Print Money”

With Illinois legislators continuing with “business as usual”—see below for our update on the latest Springfield budget snafu—Governor Chris Christie has been shaking things up in New Jersey. After a series of budget cuts, Christie is now proposing a property tax cap and a state spending limit. He’s also having some colorful interchanges with his constituents, which you can watch by clicking the video above.

It Would Be Laughable…
…If it weren’t so sad. This week’s brilliant budget solution from legislators in Springfield? You got it—borrow, to the tune of almost four billion dollars, while refusing to touch the root causes of our state’s budget crisis. Meanwhile, multiple austerity measures aimed at legislators themselves were shelved. You can watch the Institute’s take on the borrowing package in this Fox television clip here, read our statement on the budget here, and check out a roundup from the State Journal Register here.

Mayor Daley Must Want an 80-Year-Old to be Shot to Death?

-By Warner Todd Huston

It’s no coincidence when Mayor Richard “King” Daley is all over the news sternly scolding 2nd Amendment supporters over their interest in upholding the U.S. Constitution after one of the gang thugs that lives in his city kills a kid or two (or 50 or more). He revels in these deaths like some grim reaper lawmaker. But when the story turns into an 80-year-old man saving his own life with a firearm, “King” Daley’s morbid anti-gun rants suddenly go quiet.

After Mr. Grant, an 80-year-old Korean War vet, heard the sounds of a break-in, he went to investigate the noise and was fired upon by the criminal when he did so. Fortunately, Mr. Grant was not hit by the assailant’s bullet. The, however, crook was not so lucky as Mr. Grant’s return fire hit home killing the intruder on the spot.

Legislative Shell Game Continues: Illinois House Says No to Forensic Audit‏

From Adam Andrzejewski of For the Good of Illinois

“No”

“Non-vote”

That’s how Democrat state reps Keith Farnham and Jack Franks “voted” on the forensic audit resolution they sponsored. In spite of their supercilious backing of the resolution, Farnham voted against it and Franks “went to the bathroom”. Michael Madigan and Illinois Democrats voted down a measure that would have meant accountability in Illinois’ spending and would have gone a long way to preventing Governor Quinn’s proposed 33% tax hike.

Where is the Fiscal Responsibility?

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – Our public National Debt has passed $13,000,000,000,000* for the first time in our history. That is a debt per citizen of $42,030* and a debt per taxpayer of $117,992*.

It is even worse when the unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Prescription Drug, and Medicare are included which will add an additional $108,775,000,000,000+*.

In addition, just this month the CBO stated that the legislation will cost an additional $115 Billion more than originally assumed. This puts the total cost of Obamacare well OVER $1 Trillion.

Rep. Biggins Votes for Illinois Pension Bailout, Should he be Thrown out of GOP Caucus?

-By Warner Todd Huston

State Representative Bob Biggins (R, Elmhurst) was one of two Republicans to vote yes on a bill to borrow $3.7 billion to shore up state pension funds this week. The vote caused tongues to wag that the retiring representative was offered a job or some other goodies by the Illinois Democrats through Governor Quinn’s offices to change his previous vote to side with Quinn.

It isn’t that Biggins sided with Democrats and against the Republican leadership, but that he ducked a meeting with his own caucus in order to hide away in Governor Quinn’s office with chief of staff Jerry Stemer raises eyebrows.

For his part Biggins claims he was offered no incentive to change his “no” vote to a “yes.”

Shame: Nine GOP Reps Supporting Union Bailout

-By Warner Todd Huston

For decades unions have mishandled their pension funds. These funds have been embezzled into the pockets of union chiefs, they have been wasted on needless expenses, and have been spent away on left-wing political causes not to mention simple mismanagement and bad investing. It has gotten so bad that few union pension funds for the rank and file members are adequately funded and retirement money for millions of union member’s is now at risk — naturally the separate pension funds for union bosses are almost universally in the black.

So, what’s the solution? What will befall the retirement funds of these poor rank and file union schlubs? As far as Illinois Representatives Aaron Schock and Peter Roskam and seven other Republicans are concerned you and I should bailout out these union thugs that have filled their pockets with their member’s retirement funds by giving them our tax dollars in a bailout plan supported by the Obama administration.

Apparently union crooks and neer-do-wells are too big to fail and Reps. Schock and Roskam think that our taxes should go to reward the criminal behavior and neglect by union bosses.

Did You Get a 42% Increase in 2009?

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – Melissa Bean must believe people got a 42% increase in their 2009 paychecks, because she is spending as if people have. Bean sponsored or co-sponsored the following 17 Earmark projects in 2009 totaling $38,314,314* which represents a 42% increase from her 2008 Earmarks projects totaling which totaled $26,842,300*.

With record deficits in 2009 of over one trillion dollars and unemployment near 10% we can see why people are angry with members of Congress and “Voter unhappiness with Congress has reached the highest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports as 71% now say the legislature is doing a poor job. That’s up ten points from the previous high of 61% reached.”

AmericaSpeakingOut.com: Listen, Learn and Lead

-By Representative Peter Roskam (R, IL)

If you’ve noticed the uproar around the country over the direction America is heading, you are one step ahead of the Democratic Majority. It appears everyone from Nancy Pelosi to the intern answering the phones has their fingers in their ears and their eyes clamped shut when it comes to responding to the will of the people. Unfortunately, their mouths are still working overtime.

Alexander Hamilton stated the fact best: “Here, Sir, the people govern.” Congress would be wise to listen to the American people. Thankfully, in our social media age, it’s possible for Congress to be wise in ways almost unimaginable a few years ago.

Today/On Tuesday, May 25th, I joined my colleague Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), in a major national announcement unveiling an exciting new project we are spearheading called “America Speaking Out.” This effort will equip men and women all across America to dramatically affect the direction of our country by offering solutions to the tough challenges we face. This initiative draws on first-of-its kind technology to enable a meaningful two-way conversation about the policies our nation needs to pursue to get back on the right track.

Active, enthused participation is perhaps the hallmark of successful democracies. Through AmericaSpeakingOut.com, and through in-person town halls in congressional districts across the country, House Republicans can now engage the American people in the process of governing like never before.

Rep. Jesse Jackson Endorsing Republican Mark Kirk?

-By Warner Todd Huston

The final answer is, “no,” Chicago-based Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. is not endorsing a Republican to take Barack Obama’s old Illinois U.S. Senate seat. But Jackson is making news by seeming to be toying with the idea of abandoning the troubled Democrat candidate, Alexi Giannoulias.

And, in the end, that’s all this is. It’s Jesse Jackson, Jr. employing the ages old Chicago Democrat game of fishing for payoffs.

The game goes like this: Long-time Democrat strong-man wants a pay off of one kind or another so he pretends he might support someone surprising, someone that isn’t the expected pick. Party bigwigs rush to payoff said strong-man so that he will support the usual suspect. Strong-man gets big rewards and ends up supporting the usual suspect anyway.
