Happy Halloween everyone - Georgia here, Director of New Media for Alexi. We're just a couple days away from Election Day, and your actions RIGHT NOW can mean the difference between "Senator Kirk" or "Senator Giannoulias."
Karl Rove and national Republicans have poured $10 million into this race, more than almost any race in the entire country. Just this weekend, the Sunlight Foundation reported that Alexi "has been the target of more attacks funded by undisclosed donors than any other candidate."
Despite the blitz of lying ads, Alexi has kept this race a dead heat. Both sides know that it could come down to just a handful of votes...and this is what the Tea Party in Chicago is saying (h/t to Rich Miller at the Capitol Fax for the catch):
What a great nation we have of God fearing people who would selfishly put their country's needs and our future's generation's welfare ahead of their own as you so often have during these past two years.
Many of you have shared your stories on why you got involved -- and I am truly a better person for knowing you.
We have won some small battles and at time, it looked as if we lost the war, but BE NOT AFRAID! WE ARE FAR FROM DONE... IN FACT, WE ONLY JUST BEGUN!
Tuesday is THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTIONS IN OUR GENERATION'S LIFETIME, but we have much more work to complete before our beloved Republic is safe from tyranny's heavy hand.
We have waited 2 very long, long years for this event... Let's spend it together!
We are a great people, blessed by our Creator, to live in the greatest country that God put on this Earth.
Get out and save the future!
VOTE WITH YOUR FAITH!
LOCK AND LOAD BECAUSE WE ARE TAKING IT BACK AND TAKING THEM OUT!
GOD BLESS THE REPUBLIC!
The leader of the Chicago Tea Party has endorsed Mark Kirk.
This is what we're up against. Not just an energized Republican Party, but a party that is determined to get their hands on this Senate seat -- and on control of the Senate.
The calls you make over the next couple of days to voters in Illinois could mean the difference between victory or defeat, between a Senator who will make us proud or a Senator who's part of a party that is determined to take America far off course.

By the way, here are some photos of President Obama's GOTV rally in Chicago last night and of Alexi and President Obama grabbing brunch and talking to voters this morning (AP/OFA/Getty):
