This is not my first posting I have written on behalf of my friend Alexi Giannoulias, and it will not be my last. Alexi Giannoulias has a bright political future in Illinois and on the national scene.
Alexi Giannoulias' star shines brightly.
President Barack Obama with his friend, Alexi Giannoulias.
I could list all the things that are wrong with Mark Kirk, but who has that kind of time.
So I will simply summarize what is wrong with Mark Kirk.
Everything.
And I will summarize what is right about Alexi Giannoulias.
Everything.
I could spend my time talking about all the Mark Kirk pro-Bush votes and talk about the Mark Kirk military "misremembering." But what would I post tomorrow. So stay tuned about why you shouldn't supprt Mark Kirk and let me tell you why you should vote for Alexi Giannoulias and why you should donate to his campaign.
Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and the next Senator from the state of Illinois.
So allow me to list just a few things about Alexi. First and very important to me and my progressive friends. Alexi Giannoulias is a strong supporter of health care reform. And would have voted for the health care bill. Mark Kirk did not.
Alexi supports a reduction in out dependency on foreign oil. Alexi opposes the "drill baby drill" concept of energy reform. As we have seen, that is not working out so well. It is the failed policies of the Bush administration that has led to this disaster in the Gulf. And it was Mark Kirk that consistently supported the Bush Energy policy and voted for it again and again.
We need leadership in Washington. We need people elected that have a vision for the future. Leadership and vision are two words that describe Alexi Giannoulias.
Supporting Alexi Giannoulias will advance the Obama agenda and make this country a better place for all of us.
