A report from the 6th Congressional District, Bloomingdale, Illinois:
“Last night, during the coffee for the taping of the Today Show segment, a woman in the crowd started asking Tammy a question about the troops in Iraq and then told us about her brother, who is there as a bomb diffuser, for his fourth […]
Third in the nation on any given day is pretty impressive. Just not a smart comment by Peter - it’s not like Tammy Duckworth’s patriotic service to our country, and the injury she sustained was a secret.
The “Pottery Barn Rule” of foreign policy - “you break it, you own it,” applies to the Democratic Party solution to getting out of Iraq. It’s not our mess, it’s the Bush Administration’s and, while Democrats will likely have to clean it up, they’re not responsible for a “good” outcome no matter what David […]
Democrat Joe Shannon asked where his opponent has been all these years on energy policy in today’s Daily Herald.
śWe should have the greenest economy on earth,ť the Daily Herald quoted Joe Shannon saying. “[Republicans in office] have done nothing.ť
Leadership means something other than constantly falling behind. Isn’t it time we voted for leadership […]

śMs. Chaplin has been a strong champion for the families of Downers Grove who […]
…and only options.
Yes, the only real option for the vast majority in this economy is to be extremely wealthy to begin with (or else lucky). Otherwise, in a Bush economy, Americans face wage stagnation or pay cuts. Make the economy work for most Americans - get rid of the Republicans who support President […]
Just when you think you’ve been so shell-shocked by what the Bush Administration is turning this country into that you believe you can’t be surprised any more, they surprise you again. I’ll second that “wow.” Things have gotten pretty bad when the American government sees and treats the American people as the enemy. […]
You can see it here. Senator Bob Kerrey narrates and highlights Tammy Duckworth’s compelling story, from Iraq through the campaign, ending with a compelling fundraising “ask.” I think it might have been more effective if it had a viral component, asking people to send the video to friends and making the process as […]
