Lake County Tea Party

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.
