Lake County Tea Party

Have you voted yet? If you have not, do you think Washington on Springfield are working just fine? If you think they are broken then we must fix it at the ballot box. No excuses, get out an vote NOW! Polls are open until 7 PM tonight. Take a friend with you. Voter turnout is reported as very low today, so it is time to make the Tea Party votes count. Show them we will vote and they had better listen. Today is the day to flex our muscles.

Candidates we are officially supporting at Lake County Tea Party:

* Governor - Adam Andrzejewski
* US Senate - John Arrington
* 8th Congressional District - Joe Walsh
* 62nd State Rep - Paul Mitchell

With under 48 hours left until voting begins, it is becoming clear many people do not want Adam to win this race. They are stooping to old political tricks. They are now spreading rumors that Adam has dropped out of the race. This is a lie and a dirty political trick, Adam has NOT dropped out of the race and is IN THE RACE TO WIN. It is spreading mostly in Lake County right now. Please pass along to your friends and neighbors. He has the momentum with the support of the former President of Poland, Lech Walesa, the Tea Party and many other conservative groups in Illinois and across the country. Don’t let political tricks go unpunished.

In most elections, you find the same type of people running for office. These are the incumbents, the egotists, the newbie, the idealist, and the corrupt. Usually, each of the candidates fit into several of these categories. Once in while, a truly great candidate comes along, that is a true self-less leader that really understands and typifies what made this country what it is today. This year, in the State of Illinois no less, there are 3 such candidates. I’ve written about 2 already, Paul Mitchell running for State Rep in the 62nd District and Adam Andrzejewski for Governor.

The third truly exceptional candidate is John Arrington, who is running for US Senate. He has been working in the Pro-Life community for years. He is a former City Councilman from Harvey, where he was instrumental in bringing in jobs. He also had to fight the corruption and patronage that was rampant in the city government at that time. John also has another unique experience with Barack Obama that no other candidate in this race has. John was also a Community Organizer, the difference is he was fighting for personal empowerment and personal responsibility of the individual while Obama was trying to empower the organizer. John had it right then and he has it right now. He knew the ingenuity and persistence of the individual is what drives this great country. He has stood up to the self serving and corrupt politicians trained in the Chicago Way. John’s unique experience of service, strength and stamina to fight for our founding principles provides the confidence and proof that John will always stand on principles and not bow to the pressure from Harry Reid, President Obama, the Republican establishment or to lobbyist. John has the strength of character that we need in Washington today. If you agree with me that Washington is broken, then vote for John Arrington.

This is the time for all Illinois citizens who seek the return of honor, integrity and justice to bring the best possible gubernatorial candidate through the primary while knocking out the mediocre. Be you Independent, Green, Libertarian, Republican, Democrat, Whig or Constitution party, if you are sick of being scammed and fed up with corrupt politics in Illinois, we must join together on the common groung of meaningful reform! I have done the analysis and I ask you to take a bold step, short circuit the mediocre republican machine in Illinois and vote for Adam Andrzejewski for governor on Feb. 2nd.

Why Andrzejewski, because he is the only outsider, he’s not part of the political machine, not connected to questionable actions, ethics investigations, criminal friends, long time politicians and/or a long time politician himself and finally, he is sincere.

Keep an open mind and go to www.reclaimillinois.com to review my conclusions for yourself if need be but this is not the time to be divided or selfish about your own party. Though you may be fielding a candidate of your own in the general election, we must take a collective stand for the Feb. 2nd primary as one voice, as patriotic citizens of Illinois and send the message that we seek virtuous choices for the general election in November and new, bold leadership in the days to come.

Ask for a republican ballot when you get to your voting location and let’s change our destiny.

Please consider my proposal, spread the word and take action NOW!!! Call friends, send e-mail, rally the troops, text, Facebook, donate and/or go door to door!!

Thanks,

Patrick Beaird

Adam Andrzejewski is the Best Choice for Governor. Yes, he is new to politics and has not run for office before. That is a very good thing this year and especially here in Illinois. The political environment here is corrupt and self-serving as demonstrated by former Gov Ryan (R) in jail and former Gov Blagojevich (D) indicted and probably heading to jail. We have been for years now dealing with pay-to-play politics by both parties. It is time for a clean break from the past and Adam is a breath of fresh air undisturbed by the stench of corruption filling this state.

Many other Tea Party groups in the state have joined the fight and are working to elect Adam. In a recent straw poll of tea party leaders, Adam won 97% of the vote: http://www.illinoistea.org/.

From another Tea Party Group

TEA party members all over the state have worked hard to help Adam only to meet with some NASTY press from local radio, state newspapers, TV and now massive campaign sign stealing. http://www.examiner.com/x-17412-Macon-County-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m1d26-RINOs-mount-underhanded-campaign-against-Andrzejewski

Please go over to Cao’s Blog and take a look at her post on the Sandy Cole mailer attacking her opponent Paul Mitchell.

The cartoons are really well done and shows Sandy really can’t handle the truth about her actual voting record.

Paul Mitchell is the best candidate for State Representative in the 62nd District. We wholeheartedly suport his campaign and beliefs. He is Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-Individual, Pro-Freedom. He supports the Republican platform and does not run away from him it like his opponent. He understands the state has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

If you want to find out more about Paul Mitchell, visit his Website at http://paulfor62.com, on Twitter or Facebook.

You can also listen to Paul this afternoon on the Sandy Rios Show on WYLL.

The following statement was just posted to Twitter and Facebook by the Patrick Hughes campaign and he is claiming his first campaign contribution check in 2010 will be to a Big Government Democrat:

No, seriously, my first check of 2010 is going to Bart Stupak who may have just declared open war. http://is.gd/5ueUt Balls. Of. Steel.

For those of you who do not know who Rep. Stupak is, he is the author of the amendment not allowing tax payer dollars to be used for abortion. That amendment allowed HR 3962 (Obamacare) to pass the House. This bill still contained the Public Option and the government takeover of our healthcare system. Stupak is a big government Democrat who also voted for the Stimulus Bill that only stimulated government growth.

Why would Patrick Hughes think it is a good idea to give money to a Big Government Democrat that supports the government takeover of our healthcare system? How can he claim to even be a conservative? What real principles does Patrick Hughes stand for? Why should anyone support a candidate who wants to help keep big government politicians in office?

It is time for a Contract With Illinois. Pledge to vote only for those candidates who stand up for the Constitution. Ask your friends, neighbors and other candidates throughout the state to do the same. It is time we stop electing fake conservatives.

UPDATE: The Hughes campaign has now posted the following apologies on twitter and facebook.

Explanation posted on his website: http://www.patrickhughesforsenate.com/site/Viewer.aspx?iid=25411&mname=Article&rpid=6794

Tweet 1:

That last tweet was not from me. It was placed in my Twitter stream by accident. I do not intend to give money to any Democrats!

Tweet 2:

@davesmith3 Sorry. Lines got crossed somewhere and a tweet was placed into my stream from another account. I oppose Obamacare. All of it.

Tweet 3:

Again, I want to say that somehow my account feed crossed with a different account last night. Bart Stupak will not get a check from me ever

Tweet 4:

I’ve posted a longer explanation about our mix up last night on my blog, http://tiny.cc/KKzyF I hope this helps clear things up
