Below, release from Kirk....
McCain to Endorse Kirk at Veterans Gathering in Glenview
McCain: "The people of Illinois deserve a Senator who will restore honest government, strengthen our national security, fight for veterans and bring fiscal discipline to Washington. Mark Kirk has my strongest endorsement."
Who: Congressman Mark Kirk Senator John McCain
When: 4:00 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30
Where: Glenview Park Center, Lakeview A Room 2400 Chestnut Ave. Glenview, IL
What: Senator John McCain will endorse Congressman Mark Kirk for U.S. Senate at a veterans gathering in Glenview on Sunday afternoon. Kirk, an early supporter of McCain's presidential bid during the 2008 primary election, will stress his commitment to fiscal discipline, national security, and veterans care.
Kirk and McCain, both Navy veterans, developed a close relationship in 2000 when the Senator twice came to Chicago to stump for then-candidate Kirk in one of the nation's most competitive open seat congressional elections. In 2001, Kirk backed McCain's campaign finance reform legislation, and Kirk remains the only member of the House Appropriations Committee to swear off earmark spending projects - an issue long championed by McCain. The two have also travelled together to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Following the veterans meeting, McCain will headline a North Shore fundraiser expected to raise nearly half a million dollars for Kirk's Senate bid.

Sick.
From Google: Representative Mark Kirk has voted in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens.
Time for Palin to cut all ties with McNut...
BTTT
Kirk voted for Cap and Trade. Defeat him at all costs.
The death kiss!
=================================
Freepmail me to get ON or OFF this list.
McLame is aiding and abetting the Enemy.
Add me to that list, eh. I hate RINOs.
McCain *is* the enemy.
McCain and anybody he endorses is just part of what ails America. McCain and his sickening herd of RINOs need to be put to pasture.
The people hate you, all of you freaking dems and RINOs.
you know, at this point I am sooo sick of McCain using his totally mediocre or less military history as brownie points that I wish someone would do an honest poll of Veterans only regarding their opinions of him. A simple question phrased around the Constitution and Military/Congressional Oaths of office with a 1 - 10 scale for the answer would be sufficient.
Yes, I know quite well that he was a POW, but I also know that very many of the others were tortured to a greater degree than he was, and gave up zero military information in accordance with the Code of Conduct - name rank and serial # only.......and I am unaware of other Vn POW’s who made it out alive who encouraged and assisted Jimmuh Carter in rewriting/weakening the Code.
Amazing. McCain just does not care. I really think he hates his fellow American citizens. Illegal Immigrants, begone!
He also voted for Cap & Trade, voted against drilling for our own oil on our own shores, and has his own "Obama-lite" health care reform plan.
I live in Illinois and it's simply depressing that once again there isn't a true Conservative to vote for in ANY state wide race in 2010.
There's no way in hell that Mark Kirk is getting my vote. I know a sniveling, snot-nosed, moderate liberal Republican when I see one.
What do you think of Matt Murphy for Governor?
All in favor of this. I hope Maverick spends every waking moment by Kirk’s side rather than screwing us in the Senate. Than I hope they are both defeated.
Sarah Palin needs to endorse a REAL Conservative and slap McCain’s guy down.
RINO ALERT
