Last week, a report emerged here on the Democrats who were sitting on substantial re-election war chests with little or no competition and who were, to date, fairly stingy with their money. Sure, they'd given to the DCCC what they were required as far as their dues, but some had neglected to step up to the plate for various reasons (planning a Senate run, etc.).
One of those sitting Congressmen who is unchallenged is down in IL-12, Jerry Costello. More below the fold...
According to his end of quarter FEC filing, Costello has on hand in cash $1,516,242.54. I haven't seen anywhere that he's going to be giving that up to the DCCC or any of the other candidates.
Anybody flying that low below the radar needs to be lit up and loosened up.
The telephone number for his campaign office is (618) 397-9599. Make your voice heard. Let Congressman Costello know that we're giving, his peers are giving and gosh darn it, he should be giving, too!
