About Rosanna
Posted by admin On March - 19 - 2009
Rosanna Pulido was born in Chicago in 1956, and was raised on the North Side in Wrigleyville. She was educated in Catholic grammar schools and high school and attended Prairie State College.
Rosanna is a small businesswoman and an advocate for senior citizens. She produced and hosted Caregivers Radio, a program dedicated to the concerns and needs of senior citizens and their families.
She is also a staunch advocate for our veterans and for those who serve in law enforcement. She has worked extensively with sheriffs across the country in addressing the many problems created by illegal immigration.
Rosanna loves Chicago, her home state of Illinois, and America, and has a deep concern for what she sees as the ongoing erosion of freedom and constitutional government. Her extensive political involvement has always centered on the protection of the people’s rights, particularly our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves, our families, and the nation.
In April of 2005, as concerned citizens gathered in Arizona to express their dissatisfaction with the federal government’s failure to secure our borders, our national sovereignty, and the rule of law, Rosanna felt compelled to join them. Inspired by this historic citizen activism, she came home to found the Illinois Minutemen organization.
Known for her honesty, Rosanna has earned a reputation as an expert on the effects of illegal immigration, particularly in the area of the loss of jobs and the huge burden it places on taxpayers. She has testified before the Illinois legislature and in May of 2007 was invited to Washington, DC to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. She has been a guest on countless radio and television programs throughout Illinois, and has appeared nationally on shows such as Lou Dobbs, Neil Cavuto, and CNN’s American Morning.
While many people in politics talk about “reform” and fighting corruption, she’s actually done something about it. While she may bear the Republican label, she’s hardly a darling of the leaders of either the Republican or the Democratic parties. Hers is a truly independent conservative voice. When asked to describe the purpose of her political activism in one sentence, she replied, “Let’s give this government back to the people.”
On March 3,, 2009, Rosanna Pulido won the Republican nomination for Congress in Illinois’ Fifth District, earning a spot on the ballot to fill Rahm Emanuel’s vacant seat in the special election which will be held on April 7, 2009. In keeping with her view that we need citizen legislators, not more career politicians, she has promised, if elected, to be a champion for term limits.
