Writing this makes me pissed off.
I can't believe that we have this congressman. Did our district go crazy? We lost over 75,000 people. Did all the democrats leave?
How in the hell did we lose this district? WE have to take it back. This is our district. It belongs to us and we're coming for Bobby Schilling!
We have just one endorsement for 2012...anyone but Bobby! We are going to be following the top candidates for the 17th district congressional seat.
Right now we have excellent candidate and below are our preferences:
1. Phil Hare---he did a great job representing us, has the most experience and is a lockstep vote with work class people.
2. Mark Schwiebert----was an excellent mayor and did wonders for the city of Rock Island. He won all of his elections in landslides and will fight until the end.
3. Mike Jacobs----Who doesn't love Mike? He's got a great personality and has gotten a lot done for Rock Island county. He also has a lot of experience. The only thing going against him could be charges of nepotism, but with Schilling's son running his campaign, I don't forsee that as a problem.
4. John Sullivan---not from RICO. He's from the mod-squad so he will easily avoid charges of extremism. Nice guy, very charismatic.
5. Mike Boland---the only guy that I don't really care for at all. He actually told the QCTimes that he wanted to run, but that if Phil Hare got into the race that he wouldn't run any more. What kind of leadership is that? Either way he's better than Schilling.
We will keep watch and keep readers updated about this race.
