CHICAGO: In a gargantuan move, Dr. Chrinjeev Kathuria and Geoff Sheerin of Canadian Arrow have joined hands to form a new corporation, PLANETSPACE to fulfill their dreams of taking passengers to space on a commercial basis. The company targets, according to Kathuria, to fly around 2000 astronauts in the first five years and generate USD $200 million. Space trotting would cost a miniscule of what it costs now as fares will start at USD $250,000 for a suborbital flight that would also cover a 14-day training. Geoff Sheerin, who would serve as the President and CEO of the new company...

He's broken out of the pack. In his bid for the Senate seat that is being vacated by Republican Peter G. Fitzgerald, educator and investment banker Jack Ryan has established himself as the undisputed front-runner for the GOP nomination. Ryan is ahead of the crowded GOP field in polls sponsored by news organizations, led his primary rivals in a DuPage Republican straw poll, and is first among senatorial hopefuls in his own state telephone poll of likely Republican voters, which showed that he is the first or second choice of 42 percent of likely GOP primary voters. The poll of...

CHICAGO - Goldman Sachs' partner-turned-teacher Jack Ryan's most recent investment in early campaign television ads and mailings appears to be paying off.

Ryan was supported by 35% of those polled, followed by Jim Oberweis with 11%.

If Republican U.S. Senate candidate Chirinjeev Kathuria makes it to the March primary ballot, the one vote he may not be able to count on is his own. The 38-year-old Oak Brook business promoter isn't registered to vote. According to election officials in DuPage County, where he grew up and still lives with his parents, he never has been. ... snip ...

Heads up, Freepers!! I just received an email informing me that RINOs and party country-clubbers are trying to rig the GOPUSA Senate poll for Jack Ryan in Illinois. He's the most "moderate" candidate in the race and is pretty evasive on 2nd amendment, pro-life, etc. John Borling, the only unabashed pro "choice" candidate, is also doing great in the GOP USA poll. Let's FREEP this poll for a conservative! Dr. Kathuria is the only candidate so far who's come out in favor of conceal-carry, and is also solidly conservative on the rest of the issues like ANWR, judicial nominees, pro-life,...

In the United States, any Tom, Dick or Chirinjeev can run for public office, but Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria knows his name may be a challenge for some voters. Kathuria hopes to become the first native of India elected to the U.S. Senate. Although he was born in India, Kathuria has lived in Illinois since he was 8 months old. Although the president must be born in the United States, the Constitution does not require a person to be a U.S. native in order to run for Congress. He has attended the Sikh Religious Society Temple in Palatine since he was...

The 38-year-old Kathuria's campaign manager says his candidacy holds the potential of expanding the Republican Party base and attracting younger voters to the polls. "The significance of this event is that all the Indian/South Asian communities got together and endorsed my candidacy. It's very historic because Indians have tended to vote Democratic," Kathuria said, referring to Thursday's event at Chicago where several Indian American community leaders endorsed...
