Welcome Jill Morgenthaler

On October 25th, Col. Jill Morgenthaler of Des Plaines, a 30-year Army veteran and the Illinois Homeland Security Director, announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination to unseat Peter Roskam in the 6th Congressional District. We don’t know Jill well yet but wish her luck in her efforts to provide a viable alternative to Roskam’s “rubber stamp” complicity in George Bush’s miserable Presidency and the Republican Party’s nightmarish vision of endless war abroad, and the end of civil liberties and a return us to the days of robber barrons and sweatshops at home.
