ADAM KINZINGER CELEBRATES HIS VICTORY WITH SOME TEA PARTY FRIENDS!!!

Grundy Township Tea Party hosted the 11th District Congressional Candidates Forum.
All four Republican candidates (Adam Kinzinger, Henry Meers, Daryl Miller, David McAloon) participated in the event. The candidates spoke for over two hours, giving the audience a well rounded understanding as to where each of them stand on a multiple of issues from abortion to national security.
The event was also live streamed over the Internet to provide those who could not attend the opportunity to see each of the candidates before election day. You can also see a recorded version of the event by clicking on http://www.ustream.tv/channel/homer-lockport-tea-party and selecting the Grundy Tea Party Forum.
The candidates agreed on most of the major issues, taking primarily conservative stances. Watch the video and decide which one of theses candidates you believe can carry your message. Adam Kinzinger stated that any of the four would be far more acceptable than the liberal incumbent, Debbie Halvorson. The candidates take the stage at approximately 28:48 of the video.

Five of the seven GOP governor hopefuls got in some debate prep Wednesday night at a forum in southwest suburban Homer Glen that drew what we estimated at more than 1,000 people. It was put on by the tea party groups in Will County, so it was a conservative crowd. As a result, a lot of political red meat was thrown out there. State Sen. Bill Brady of Bloomington offered fiery opening remarks and said he served with Democratic President Barack Obama in the Illinois Senate, but did not support him. That was a reference to opponent state Sen. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale, who found himself explaining his appearance in an Obama campaign ad to the crowd. Dillard also touted his work for former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, while Brady drew some puzzled looks when he said he'd accept campaign contributions from unions.
Transparency advocate Adam Andrzejewski of Hinsdale, a first-time candidate, was asked how he would take on Springfield when he "seems a little green." He said his business experience should count more than political experience and pledged to deal with Springfield "the way Ronald Reagan dealt with Washington, D.C."
Political pundit Dan Proft drew applause for his series of one-liners, telling fellow conservative Andrzejewski that he "no more invented (government) transparency than Al Gore invented the Internet." Proft was asked about his public relation firm's big-dollar contract with Cicero, a town not historically known for clean government. He blasted two of his opponents for "playing the guilt by association game."
DuPage County Board Chairman Bob Schillerstrom of Naperville scored points with the crowd when he talked about his fiscal stewardship, but then had to answer first on the question "Where do our rights come from?" Schillerstrom answered "from the people," and was the only candidate who didn't mention God.
Former Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan and former Illinois Republican Chairman Andy McKenna did not attend.
