"The American Dream is Worth Fighting For"
Ilya Sheyman, Democratic candidate for the 113th Congress from the Illinois 10th Congressional District
Do you want a cure for those Anti-Obama/Pro-Obama Blues infecting the discourse around here lately? Then find yourself a progressive fighting for a seat in the 113th Congress and a) Give money; or b) Volunteer; or c) Both a) and b) [Hint: Best Answer]. I found mine, and, suddenly, I no longer care what anyone thinks about President Obama's performance. I just care about helping get my candidate elected. I know that if I succeed, the Presidential election will take care of itself.
My candidate is Ilya Sheyman [Click link. Big red button on the right hand side shouts "DONATE NOW". Click it. Do it. Please.] You can help me support my bold progressive
Today's call to action is meant for everyone but particularly focused on folks in areas that are around the periphery of the 10th CD, but not in the district. This is a plea for both donations, but even more importantly, your time. Do you live in or around one of the communities listed below the flourish? Then come to campaign headquarters in Waukegan and volunteer. Many of you live closer than I do.
If you live in one of the communities named below, then your present Congressman is Republican, Randy Hultgren, who may be primaried by Rep. Joe Walsh, R-McHenry, whom the Club for Growth is encouraging to run. I'm guessing whichever one it is will will re-election because so far as I can tell from news reports, no Democrat has announced for the seat.
Do you live in or around Wadsworth, Gurnee, Gages Lake, Park City, Beach Park, Antioch, Foxlake Hills, Grandwood Park, Pistakee Highlands, Fox Lake, Spring Grove, Lakemoor, Spring Grove, Richmond, Holiday Hills, Mundelein, Long Grove, Hawthorn Woods, Oakwood Hills or Holliday Hills? If you do and are also progressive in your thinking and politics, you can sit on your hands in the Congressional election and spend your time on Daily Kos pie fighting about Obama's record, or you can help Ilya Sheyman, a true progressive fighter scramble his way into the next Congress. Like I said, click the linky to "DONATE NOW". Or you can support Ilya or other fine progressives outside your own district through the Progressive Change Campaign Committee or Blue America or Howard Dean's (he has endorsed Ilya, you know) Democracy for America. All of these paths lead to the same worthy goal, election of more and better Democrats to the 113th Congress.
Come on Illini. Let's fight.
