Bean Campaign Money

The majority of Congresswoman Bean's campaign comes from Political Action Committees not from the people of the 8th District. She has not really started her quest for campaign money, how much more will the PACs spend to keep their candidate in office. The 8th District needs a candidate from the community. This November we have the opportunity to vote in someone that will represent the people, Joe Walsh.

Joe Walsh Promise

From Joe Walsh for Congress:

I will lead by example and act as a Citizen Legislator - the type of person our Founding Fathers envisioned. My pledge to you is as follows:

1. I will not serve more than 3 terms in the House (6 years), if so privileged.
2. I will not receive any health plans or retirement benefits that only congressmen get and that aren’t available to all Americans.
3. I will not vote for any legislation which increases the size of government or isn’t supported by the Constitution.
4. I will never add an earmark to any bill.
5. I will always speak my mind and tell my constituents the truth.
6. I will always be accessible to my constituents and hold town halls on a regular basis, in good times or bad

We need to get Americans to feel good about their government again.

Congressman Walsh

Joe Walsh is the Tea Party, Conservative, Republican candidate for the 8th District seat in Congress. He will take back the seat for the people of our community and represent the people and not the Cook County Democratic Party.

VOTE

Now is the time for all good citizens to come to the aid of their country by voting. Our country is at a cross road between the Liberty left to us by our Forefathers and the path to socialism that Obama, Pelosi, and Bean want to lead us to. Stand up and be counted, VOTE.

The People Speak

SCOTT BROWN WINS MASSACHUSETTS SENATE SEAT

In the race that will change the direction of the United States and put the breaks on the Obama agenda. This is only the start, now that the far left wing of the Democratic Party has awakened the citizens of this country. The Ronald Reagan "Silent Majority" has once again decided that this is the time for patriots to come to the aid of their country.

The people of the 8th District have also wakened to the danger of BIG GOVERNMENT and TRILLION dollar budget defects. Our Country, State, and the 8th District needs to put an end to taxation without representation. A good start is to have a Representative in Congress that will live in our community. We need someone that will represent us and not the Chicago Democratic Party.

No Representation in the 8th

The 8^th Congressional District for the last six years has been represented by a member of Congress that has shown no intention of ever moving into the district she represents. The 8^th District is home to several large pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and many other smaller health care facilities, in spite of this Melisa Bean votes for a government takeover of health care. Average hard working people and thousands of small businesses live in the 8^th District, yet Bean votes for “Cap & Trade”, which would increase the cost of electricity to all of us.

It is time that our community the 8^th District, is represented by someone that really understands what we need and not what others think we need. BIG GOVERNMENT is the problem, not the solution to our problems.
