Republican Jim Oberweis hoped to ride a wave of anti-immigration sentiment to higher office the last four years (pick an office, U.S. Senate or Governor). That he failed in the GOP primaries hopefully says […]
Go out on weekend Dem dates with progressives - and become a part of the family.

I know this is pretty late - but if you were wondering where (or better yet have a chance to go) here they are:
6th Congressional Democratic Candidates
Christine Cegelis will be at the Holiday Inn, 1250 Roosevelt Rd., Glen Ellyn (east of I-355 and west of S. Finley Rd.) as of 7:30 PM.
Tammy Duckworth will be […]
I have to admit I did not immediately jump on board with Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold’s resolution to censure President George W. Bush for illegal domestic wiretapping. It was, for me, not the question of principle, where I agreed, but rather a question of tactics. What would the effect of a censure resolution […]
