Out yesterday, potty humor kept them at bay–in order of the way I received them:

Wilmette- Dan Seals released the following statement regarding the resignation of United States Attorney General Alberto Gonzales:

 

“For too long, Bush and his allies have held court in Washington DC where they have continually put politics before policy and the American people.    We need a lawyer for the people, not the Bush Administration.  This is good news for Justice.”

 

Dan Seals is running for Congress in the Tenth District of Illinois to expand opportunity for all Americans and to help get government working again.   As the 2006 Democratic nominee, he raised nearly $2 million and earned 47% of the vote against incumbent Republican Congressman Mark Kirk.    A former Director of Marketing at GE Commercial Finance, he is currently a business consultant.  Dan and his wife Mia live in Wilmette with their three young daughters.

KIRK & BUSH STAND BY GONZALES TIL THE END 

Statement from 10th District Democratic Candidate Jay K. Footlik:

“The resignation of Alberto Gonzales, perhaps the worst Attorney General in U.S. history, is welcome news that is long overdue. While Gonzales is finally gone, the failure of Mark Kirk and other House Republicans to demand his resignation remains an outrage. Mark Kirk’s support for Alberto Gonzales until the bitter end is further evidence that our community needs a new voice in Congress, not a rubberstamp for the failed policies of George W. Bush and the Republicans.”

“The Gonzales legacy will serve as a black cloud over the Justice Department for decades to come.  On his watch, the American people saw their personal liberties encroached upon time and again.  Alberto Gonzales cared more about obeying President Bush than he did the law and his departure is a victory for the American people.”
