A friend just shared a copy of a newspaper "The Illinois Democrat" that touts the Democratic bonifides of Rep. Bobby Schilling of IL-17. Bobby as a union member. Bobby at a NAACP meeting. Bobby as keynote speaker at Black History month. Protector of Social Security, and on and on. The paper was delivered to predominantly African American and blue collar white precincts on Rockford. It wasn't delivered to Dems in R precincts on the east side of the city.
The real Democrat is Cheri Bustos. A recent poll shows her lagging with Democrats in the district. Clearly the Schilling is trying to exploit this by creating the false image that he is a Democrat. This is a targeted Tier one race. Bainport is in the district. The president is up big in the district and Cheri needs help getting her message out. Give her some help at cheribustos.com.
