History made in IL
Posted on | July 22, 2010 | No Comments
One month ago, For the Good of Illinois returned to
promote self-governance in Illinois by engaging,
educating, and empowering citizens to demand limited,
accountable, and transparent government of, by, and for
the people.
As part of this mission, we launched For the Good of
Illinois PAC to allow our members to support viable
candidates at the state level who believe in the principles
of limited, accountable, and transparent government.
One of our first candidates, Cedra Crenshaw, quickly
became the target of the Chicago Machine. Cedra’s
opponent, Sen. A.J. Wilhelmi (IL-43rd), unleashed top
election lawyer, Michael Kasper, to unjustly knock Cedra
off the ballot on a 2-1 party line vote by the Will County
Board of Elections.
For the Good of Illinois and our members quickly took
action…
* Protests were held outside Sen. Wilhelmi’s office.
* Gov. Quinn and Sen. Wilhelmi were confronted
face-to-face.
* Supporters stood by Cedra during court
appearances.
* Article after article appeared in the Tribune and
local papers.
* Several blogs appeared on Red State and Big
Government.
* During an appearance on Hannity, Andrew
Breitbart discussed Cedra’s race.
* Cedra made several radio appearances including
WLS and WIND.
* Cedra also appeared on WGN and Fox & Friends.
We are pleased to announce that your hard work paid off.
On July 21, 2010, a Will County judge overturned the Will
County Electoral Board – placing Cedra back on the
ballot. You took on the Chicago Machine and won.
Together, we’ve made a commitment to end the culture
of corruption, which is fueled by failed political parties,
patronage armies, and gerrymandered political fiefdoms.
Illinois’ transformation will not happen over night, and it
won’t happen by the hand of any one man or one woman
– but by the united actions of all of us. Cedra stepped
forward when no one else would. She dared to be a hero
for her children and the people of Illinois. You stood with
her to take on the Machine. In the end, the good guys
won.
Hear Cedra tell her story….
It is now time to send a message by ensuring that Cedra
wins in November. Ending Sen Wilhelmi’s political career
and the careers of his Democrat cronies is the first step
to taking back our state.
The need has never been greater. The people of Illinois
have never been more willing.
Are you ready for a new day in Illinois?
Will you stand with Cedra? Will you stand with For the
Good of Illinois?
Together, we’re making history.
