For those of you who do not know me, here are a couple of links to give you a general idea...

First of all the announcement of Rahm.

Emanuel delivered the news in an automated call to constituents on Monday.

Is there some payola in it for you?

[HiJinx]

I’ll ping the list when I get to my other ‘puter...
You’re going to have an uphill battle with the traditional media.
I hope you can get the alternative media behind you in a big way.

[raybbr]

If I could vote for you I would. I will try to send cash for your campaign if you announce.

[trisham]

Good heavens, with that resume, I think you owe it to us to run! :)

Emanuel, in Africa on a long planned vacation with his family, sent out the official news of his departure from the 5th congressional district seat in a robo call to his constitutients on Monday and a resignation letter to Gov. Blagojevich. Though the seat will be vacant with the new Congress is sworn in on Jan. 6, House rules allow the congressional offices in Chicago and Washington to remain open and staffed to assist any ongoing casework. A special election will be held to fill the seat, with the date to be set now that Emanuel's departure date will be established. Emanuel must decide what to do with the $1,782,189 million in his campaign warchest, of which about $400,000 is a loan he made to his campaign.

" I also want you to know, it has been a privilege and an honor to serve as your Representative for the last six years. Thank you for the opportunity and thank you for your confidence," Emanuel said in his taped call.

Eleven people have already filed papers with the Federal Election Commission declaring they are possible candidates:

Alexander Victor Forys
Mike Quigley, Cook County Board Member
Charles J. Wheelan
Sara Feigenholtz, State Representative
Reichel Matthew
Joey Vartanian
Israel Vasquez
Justin Oberman, former Transportation Safety Administration official Cary Capparelli, son of former State Representative
Debra Mell, incoming State Representative, daughter of Ald. Dick Mell who is not going to pursue the seat
Jan H. Donatelli

[Syberyenta]

Run, ‘Lady’, Run!
and thank you, Rosanna, in advance for your service!

[chicagolady]

Ping!

[I got the rope]

Go for it! You’ll have my support.

[Toki]

Wow... GO FOR IT!!!!!!
/waves flags and other fun babbles

[Salvation]

Prayers for you as you go forward with this. As things come out about Blago and Rahm, you may be in for a pleasant surprise.

On the other hand -— Chicago??

[bootless]

Go for it!!

[Lexinom]

Nah, it's hopeless. All is lost. May as well pack it in and go home...

Seriously, you've got the fire, the passion, the patriotic zeal. And you've lived in the area your whole life. Could you garner enough support in your district? Those around you - are they encouraging you to run? Could you get enough organization together in the short timeframe? And can you, your friends/allies/supporters come up with a clever strategy to overcome Chicago's notorious political "machine"?

If so - and you seem to have some name recognition already - go out there and win the thing! :-)

[Iscool]

Contact these organizations you have volunteered with...Solicit their donations and and ask them to have fund drives or fundraisers...Visit all the old people places, explain what you believe and what you are up against, ask for contributions...

Same with Youtube...Tell your grass-roots story and solicit funds...Not just one vid on You Tube...Flood the place...

Don't forget about God Tube and any other Tubes out there, LOL...

Solict all the Blogs you can find for free support on their sites...Try Drudge as well...

[EDINVA]

Go for it!

Are there any Republican party committees in Chicago? Can you count on any organizing support? It might just be a year when you’d have a shot at it.

Good luck, whatever your decision.
