Honesty in our Government

When someone asks, why McCain? Our answer is we want honesty in our White House.

T.R. and the New Century

Monday October 27th is the 150th birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt. The Bull Moose Club will celebrate the event with a morning presentation on T.R. and the New Century. Please contact Nancy Pease at 847-54-9330 for details. Question, which candidates today most remind you of the maverick T.R. and his policies for America?

At the Debate

At Dock's Bar & Grill in Wauconda Steve Greenberg hosted a Watch the Debate party. We all had a good time watching John McCain explain his vision for America. It is the opinion of T.R. that McCain won the debate.

After the debate Steve Greenberg turned the event into a Town Hall Meeting. Steve proved to be his own man, even disagreeing with some of John McCain's points. One point that came out of the Town Hall Meeting was that Bean has received large sums from the same people that have caused the current problems on Wall Street and Mainstreet. It might seem the people with the golden parachutes like having Bean in Congress. That would seem to be a good reason not to return her to Congress.

SCHAUMBURG 10/11/08 – Republican nominee Steve Greenberg shared a stage with Democrat Melissa Bean today for the first time, and emerged the clear winner. The forum, hosted by the League of Women Voters, was held at the Friendship Village in Schaumburg.

Said Greenberg, "I'm running for Congress because I believe that Washington has forgotten who the customer is. Both parties have failed the American people. Washington needs to set the example and cut back before asking the American people to sacrifice."

As Greenberg outlined his stances, Melissa Bean had no answer for why during this economic crisis she has taken $801,000 from the financial sector, the very sector she was supposed to be overseeing as a member of the Financial Services Committee. She also had no answer for why she had become the sixth largest benefactor from special interests in Washington.

"Are you better off than you were four years ago, when my opponent was elected?" asked Greenberg. He continued later, "I believe our better days are ahead of us. With your vote, I will be a voice for you in Congress."

"It's clear why Melissa Bean is afraid to publicly debate Steve Greenberg," said Collin Corbett, Greenberg's Campaign Manager. "Steve Greenberg has a clear vision for leadership and reform in Washington, which he showed today. He is a voice for the struggling families and small businesses here at home, unlike Congresswoman Bean who has proved to be a mouthpiece for the special interests."

Steve Greenberg is the Republican Nominee for Congress in the 8th Congressional District of Illinois. A successful businessman from Long Grove, IL, Steve will reform Washington by giving the power back to the people, allowing them to make decisions for their own family. He will cut taxes, eliminate government waste, fight for lower gas prices and work to ensure the safety of our families.

Lake County GOP Calls For Coroner to Resign

Lake County GOP Criticizes Coroner for His Role As Paid Defense Witness For A Child Molester Lake County Coroner Richard Keller has used his office to defend a child molester. Predatory sexual assault of a child is one of the most horrific crimes imaginable. In this case, the victim was a five-year-old child, and the defendant, Montel Branch, was convicted of this crime by a Lake County jury. Branch had a long criminal history. On Friday, September 19, 2008, Branch was sentenced to 19 years in prison. Although Montel Branch thankfully was convicted, what was outrageous about his trial was that the paid expert witness for Branch was Lake County Coroner Richard Keller. The Coroner is the second highest law enforcement agent in the County. In fact, the only person that could arrest the sheriff is the coroner. It is astonishing that Richard Keller would use that position to be a paid defense expert witness for a convicted felon in a child molestation case. Lake County Chairman Daniel Venturi condemned Keller's actions and called for his resignation. "The office of Coroner is a full-time obligation, and is not something that you can put on hold to take a side job in a position that compromises the integrity of the office," said Venturi. "In addition, it has the potential to cause confusion to a jury when the second-highest law enforcement officer in the county appears as a paid witness for the defendant," Venturi continued. Almost as offensive is the fact that Richard Keller hired himself out at $100 per hour to work as a defense expert while being paid a six figure income as Lake County Coroner. "Ironically, even though Richard Keller testified on behalf of the defense, the jury obviously disregarded his testimony and the individual was still convicted of the horrific crime," said Venturi. "The citizens of Lake County deserve better; they deserve law enforcement officials who will honor their oath of office and advocate for the victims of crime, and not the predators. There is no excuse for Richard Keller's action and he should immediately resign as Lake County Coroner." Keller is being opposed in the November election by emergency room physician Dr. Michael Oster, of Gurnee.

I believe we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.
