At this stage the long struggle against what’s wrong in American politics, our grassroots volunteer efforts could not match the raw power of the third most powerful politician in the country when he endorsed our opponent who spent $3,000,000 (!) on top of $8,000,000 in earlier losing campaigns to say or do anything to get elected…no matter how personally destructive and untrue.
After 15 years of sacrifice and honest, competent public service and raising our family in broad public view, Sarah and I didn’t realize how bad we were until the last five months of our lives. The only condition that changed was that we chose to run for Congress against an overly ambitious man ($11M) backed by the insder establishment status quo (Hastert, lobbyists, and highly-paid out-of-state political hatchet men). Oberweis says he’ll fix all of Washington, but it looks like all the same players to me!
Please sue someone, pretty please….
