Primary Election February 2nd, 2010

Here is a quote from Abraham Lincoln concerning voting:
"Elections belong to the people.
It is their decision.
If they decide to turn their back
on the fire and burn their behinds,
then they will just have to sit on their blisters."

I think we saw this in the last election. Let's not let it happen again.

The election is coming up quickly as they moved the primaries to February 2nd in Illinois this year. The Homer Lockport Tea Party is backing these conservative candidates; Patrick Hughes for US Senate, Proft for Governor, McAloon in Debbie Halvorson's District and Jim Dodge as Comptroller. I encourage you to get out and vote.

Go to http://homerlockportteaparty.com/Feb%202-Election.html to view the voter guide and see what each candidate actually stands for. The Tea Party has selected these candidates so we feel it is wise to stick with their choices as the vote could be split too much otherwise.

Below is an e-mail we sent out to friends and family regarding the upcoming election:

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and listening to Patrick Hughes. He is a Traditional Conservative Republican candidate who is on the ballot for the office of US Senator. I was very uplifted by his message but most importantly about his belief on certain issues that are important to me.

He is:
- Pro Life
- Believes in the traditional definition of marriage
- Supports the 2nd Amendment and the individual right to bear arms
- Believes in "Peace Through Strength", a strong national defense

He is married with three children and lives in Hinsdale.

I ask you to vote on February 2nd for Republican candidate Patrick Hughes for the US Senate.

I believe we need politicians like Patrick Hughes to represent Illinois in Washington.
