NoMoreHacks in Illinois

Illinois Democrats have forced our hand.  As shocked as we all were last week by the brazen corruption charges against Governor Rod Blagojevich, it took only a few days for the Chicago Machine to kick back into craven gear.

After virtually every Democrat in Illinois, including Barack Obama, opined last week that a special election to fill Obama’s senate seat was necessary to remove the taint of a selection by Blagojevich or his chief enabler, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, today, they all reversed course.

One by one, Quinn, Obama, Blagojevich campaign co-chairman and House Speaker Mike Madigan, Senate President Emil Jones, all shut the people down.  In essence they said the hacks had regrouped and will select one of them to give the state of Illinois another dose of astoundingly bad government.

We’ve had enough.  We are going to take a stand, at ground zero of Democratic corruption in the USA, headquarters of Obama’s make believe Office of the President Elect, against the real time looting of one of our largest states.  Just remember, Obama is importing the operation to the federal government, led by his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who, it was reported today, might be on tape 15 or more times talking to the Blagojevich administration about the senate seat.

We are forming NoMoreHacks, a grass roots movement that demands a special election now in Illinois.

Our call to action:

1.  Send any donation you can to the Illinois Republican Party, which has taken the lead against the hackery in Illinois with a great TV ad and a website, FriendsofBlago.com, that explains the connections of Illinois Democrats to the Blagojevich scandal.  The state party has never had the funding to run such an ad before and needs cash to keep it going.  Let’s keep the TV ads coming so we can pressure state lawmakers to do the right thing.

2.  Spread the word far and wide about NoMoreHacks so we can demonstrate the power and reach of those who believe government should not be for sale in America.

3.  We’ve started a Twitter hashtag #nmh.

Here is the latest ad that needs to be  keept on the air so pressure is applied to Illinois Democrats and remind voters of how spinless the Democratic Party leaders are in Illinois……..

I can only assign political motive for the Governor and our Senior Senator Dick Durbin for saying that George Ryan should be let out of prison early. It is quite clear that they would be more than happy to open up a new set of headlines to remind votes in Illinois of the corrupt deeds that the vile "Republican" Govenor Ryan was involved in. More here and here.

As casualities continue to drop in Iraq, as pointed out here by the Chicago Daily Observer, the media seems to find stranger and stranger angles to blame the war for death and hardship.

Headline from my Feedreader…...

War hogs night vision goggles; EMS pilots crash

Actual Headline after you click through to CNN’s site…….Board: Lives lost ‘needlessly’ in medical helicopter crashes

The night vision googles and the war are finally mentioned in paragraph fourteen. I’m sure that some liberal blogger is taking this article as proof of some war crime and going to demand some Congressional hearing. I’m positive that Congressmen from both parties will be more than happen to have millions of new earmarks to pay for the needed goggles to local EMS. Hey… drop it into the Homeland Defense budget. They are first responders after all. Man I gotta stop giving them ideas. Read the CNN article here.
