You Illinoisans are insane!

Where do I begin?

I plead the people of Illinois to open up their eyes and ears to years of continued financial woes through extreme taxation, outlandish litigation that well outweighs reality, and lack of true representation. Come on guys and dolls!

I lived in O’Fallon for years.

Remember when you could go to a doctor when they lived in your area?

Remember when you could call your representative and actually talk to them?

You have chance to bring in a new direction for Illinois and counties like Madison and St Clair.

Haven't you had enough of the same rhetoric?

We have fresh new faces with fresh new ideas and dreams for you. Why not make a change for you and yours?

I love this country and what it stands for and we are running doctors out of town. Heck, Illinois tried to tax me while I was in Missouri.

Please check out the options before you just lay down and give it up to the same old fat cats running things now.

Sharp candidates like Keith Asselmeier (St. Clair County Clerk of Courts), Erin Zweigart (U.S. Congress) and Steve Reeb (St. Clair County Board Chairman) are worth supporting.

The "definition of insanity" is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Decide to vote differently this time around and give Southern Illinois a chance. You deserve it!
