WE WON -- WE WON -- WE WON !!!
Vermilion County was the top-performing county for the state slate of candidates in this legislative district! Congratulate Don Dunavan and the crew of precinct committeemen and volunteers from the various campaigns!
Don Crist was returned to office, Lynn Foster had no competition, so we will still have those friendly offices to help the people of Vermilion County.
NANCY FAHEY won for circuit judge despite an onslaught of attacks by her opponent, the present State's Attorney. Be sure to congratulate Nancy when you see her. And I think her husband deserves some congratulations, too! He never tried to upstage her and all choices were hers!
And despite a really desperate campaign featuring stunning lies by his opponent, Michael Frerichs won the election as state Senator!
The Illinois state candidates were all returned to office, and nationally the Democrats won enough seats to give them control of the House, and barely, the Senate. And, Dr. Gill -- NEXT TIME ! ! !
It is 179 days until we can elect a new
President in 2008
Notice: Gerry's beautiful new calendar we were using is currently disabled because we have not had time to track down a "bug" in it. We are sorry about that. So Kevin Jessup's great efforts have not made it to the web page.
The abuse of power by the Executive branch of
government is no longer going on unmentioned. People are beginning to
realize that they must call a fascist a fascist, or at least comment on the
current administration's disdain for the Constitution. The trend of using
paramilitary personnel to take the place of local police is especially
worrisome. Even the Cato Institute, a very conservative think tank, has
recently spoken out against the use of paramilitary SWAT teams in
Overkill: The Rise
of Paramilitary Police Raids in America.

The
Democratic National Committee gets tough!
The miscreants controlling the Republican party now are NOT traditional Republicans, but NeoConservatives united by a long term plan to control the world and create a "New World Order." They want US to be an imperialist nation, are opposed to virtually all programs to give ordinary people anything at all from their government and think that a huge deficit is just fine. There are many Republicans who are as upset as we are at these people, who operate in great secrecy and demand absolute loyalty over competence in making their appointments. We can only hope that true Republicans will stop voting in lock step with their national leadership. |

Republicans in the white house are also afraid of the Republican party. They are trying to stop primaries from being held and have already succeeded in several states. Many Republicans are concerned about the changes in their party. Neoconservative: 15-letter word for fascist! Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate
power. The liberty of a democracy
is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to the
point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That
in its essence is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by
a group or any controlling private power. And finally, from a Republican general who became President: In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the
military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
Some Bush joke finds GEORGE BUSH IN LIBRARY
And here is another: I just read that Bush filed
with the Federal Election Com. to run for president again - why change
strategy now ? Why didn't he just apply to the SUPREME COURT ? Wouldn't
that save HUGE bunches of money ??
