I'm supporting Steve Rauschenberger. I posted on the Illinois board the reasons why. But some how, my posting got pushed off the edge in lieu of more relevant topics.
I've been represented by Rauschenberger in Springfield. He has a solid track record, and I am especially happy with his pro-life and pro-Second Amendment and concealed carry voting records.
Most importantly, Steve is endorsed by the Family Taxpayers Network, The Illinois Leader, Kane County Conservative Coalition and the National Rifle Association.
I regret that he voted for giving in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, which every single senator except one voted for. So, Steve may not be the perfect candidate, but then again I’m not running in this election.

What does it tell YOU when a small-time state senator in a SAFE conservative district makes the EASY calls on gun rights and abortion but when deciding to run for U.S. Senator casts his vote in with the pro-Illegal Alien Lobby to get newspaper endorsements?
It tells me that he is the KIND of politician whose vote is always up for sale. This guy is an aspiring professional politician Barnacle. Undifferentiated from everyone in the field EXCEPT Jim Oberweis, who has shown courage and leadership in taking on critical issues like Illegal Immigration when the others run and hide. What kind of Senator do you want representing YOU? Party Hacks for the GOP?
I've always adored Peter Fitzgerald, and continue to grieve that he won't be in the senate next term. But he voted against drilling in ANWAR, which appalled me. Nobody's perfect.
