You need to hear this Public Comment by Rosanna Pulido Tuesday night in Springfield. She is a long time anti-illegal immigration activist – and American Hispanic.

For Immediate Release: Contact: Rosanna Pulido April 14, 2014 Rick Biesada tel. 773-771-3927 Chicago, IL – The head of the Illinois Minuteman Project and former Republican candidate for Congress, Rosanna Pulido, announced that her group, along with The Chicago MInutemen Project group and grassroots organizations, is holding a “SAVE THE AMERICAN WORKER RALLY” at 1:00 pm Tuesday, April 22, at the corner of Michigan and Van Buren Streets in downtown Chicago.

Chicago, IL - On a day when congressional candidate Mike Quigley made the fundraising rounds of Washington, DC, the Pulido campaign was notified by the League of Women Voters that he has declined their invitation to debate Rosanna Pulido, his opponent in the April 7 Special Election to fill the vacant 5th District congressional seat. When asked about the day's events, Rosanna Pulido raised questions about Quigley's priorities. "I find it amazing that he's doing a victory lap in Washington before the voters have even expressed their will," she said. "He's meeting with K Street lobbyists and their checkbooks and...

Voters May Go In Early Through April 2 For 5th Congressional District Race CHICAGO (CBS) ― Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley topped a field of a dozen Democrats in the 5th Congressional District primary on March 3. He faces Illinois Minuteman Project founder Rosanna Pulido, who won the Republican nomination, and peace activist Matthew Reichel, who won for the Green Party. Early voting runs through April 2, and the special election is on April 7. The district includes much of the north lakefront and Northwest Side, as well as a handful of western suburbs – among them all or parts...

On Saturday afternoon, in the midst of Chicago's famous St. Patrick's Day celebration with its tradition of turning of the Chicago River green, a cadre of concerned Republicans met to plan a way to capture the Congressional seat of Chicago's 5th District, the one being vacated by Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. The candidate charged with this task is Rosanna Pulido and she only has about three weeks to do it. The special election for Emanuel's seat is to be held as soon as April 7th. Her supporters and other interested parties (me included) met at the top of...

Shame on Andy McKenna, Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party. Shame on the entire party, which seems hellbent on continuing its dismal record of losing elections. Although the Illinois GOP has won more "games" than the Chicago Cubs have over the past 100 years, at least the Cubs can honestly say they've been trying. The Illinois Republican Party seems content to roll over and play dead. Rosanna Pulido won the Republican special primary election in the Illinois 5th Congressional District on Tuesday, March 3. The election is being held to fill the seat vacated by Rahm Emanuel. You might not...

GOP Not Fully Embracing Their Candidate for Congress Rosanna Pulido is the GOP's candidate in the race to replace Rahm Emanuel in Congress, but her own party hasn't given their full support. I will have to call RUSH LIMBAUGH!

CHICAGO - Whoever ends up winning former Rep. Rahm Emanuel's congressional seat in a special election has some catching up to do. Congress is already in session and key legislation has been passed, chiefly a massive $787 billion stimulus package that will mean a cash infusion for states like Illinois strapped by the recession.

Rosanna Pulido is proud of her Mexican heritage. So proud that she has committed herself to championing the rights of Mexicans and other immigrants who, like her own parents, came to this country to live the American dream. Legally, that is. Pulido actively fights illegal immigration -- she founded the Illinois Minuteman Project, a civilian group that works against illegal immigration, in 2005 -- and believes illegal immigrants dilute opportunities for those who arrive legally. For that, she has been painted a traitor to her own people, bombarded with nasty e-mail and threatened with bodily harm. But that hasn't dissuaded...

Rosanna Pulido is not a heartless person. She has spent the last few years entrenched in senior citizen advocacy – she started her own senior citizens’ radio program and works tirelessly at her small senior transportation company. She isn’t making much money, but does it because she sees it as ministry work. This isn’t the first time she has taken on ministry work. In the late 1980s she spent a year in Mexico working at a Bible school, living among the poor and teaching people how to speak English. She considers that one of the best times in her life,...

Meet Rosanna Pulido, the face of the Minuteman Project in Illinois. On January 29 a dozen members of the Illinois Minuteman Project marched in the drizzling rain down Keller Road in Waukegan toward a grassy area the police had cordoned off for them across the street from Holy Family Parish. Two weeks earlier members of the church had met with village officials to protest a crackdown on drivers who didn’t have licenses, many of whom were Hispanic. Now the Minutemen were holding a counterprotest. They carried signs that read COME LEGALLY , WORK LEGALLY , DRIVE LEGALLY , and AMERICANS...
