Last night, I introduced the first Republican amendment to the Democrats' massive health care bill aimed at overhauling how Americans receive health care. My amendment will send the bill back to the Finance Committee to force Democrats to pay for the bill without cutting Medicare coverage for our seniors. I urge you to immediately send a message to your Senator by adding your name as a supporter to this amendment so that we can prevent Medicare cuts and government rationing of health care. The Democrats' bill as it is written would gut Medicare as we know it, and that's just not right. The Democrats call this bill "deficit-neutral," but they are using Bernie Madoff, Enron-style accounting to pay for their takeover of health care. Buried in this 2,000-page legislative monstrosity is a half-a- trillion dollars in "unspecified" cuts to Medicare that will directly affect our seniors and result in a tax increase for hard-working Americans. My friend, Congressional Democrats are spending at an unprecedented rate. Our country now has the highest deficit in history and the Democrats want to pass an additional $2.5 trillion in spending for their government-run health care plan. If we do not continue to fight, this bill will pass and put much of the cost of "health care reform" on the backs of our senior citizens. Your involvement in this fight is urgently needed. Please let your Senator know you support my amendment by following this link right away. While President Obama has held hundreds of meetings behind closed doors with health care lobbyists and special interests, he has not included one Republican in these meetings that have resulted in a bill that will destroy the quality and availability of our health care system. The more we read what this legislation will do, the more outraged we become. Democrats are counting on Americans to go unaware of the details of this legislation, but they cannot ignore the voices of millions of Americans across the country opposed to their flawed legislation. Today, I'm asking for your help. Will you support my amendment today by following this link and adding your name as an online "co-sponsor?" And after adding your name, I ask that you make a contribution to my reelection effort, so that I can continue fighting for real health care reform. My friend, our fight is long from over -- in fact its just beginning. We must continue to make our voices heard. We cannot afford a multi- trillion dollar price tag to implement a government program that will destroy the free marketplace and remove the ability of millions of Americans to choose their own health care provider and insurer. The men and women who have attended the town halls and signed petitions want real reform; not just another government take-over of health care. Please join the fight against the Democrats' health care bill by following this link to support the Republicans' first amendment to this bill preventing cuts to Medicare. Thank you, John McCain P.S. Don't allow the Democrats to pay for their government takeover of health care with cuts to Medicare for our seniors and tax increases on hard-working Americans. Please send a message to your Senator today by following this link to add your name to the list of supporters for my health care bill amendment. Thank you. |

Endoresment of Proft for Illinois Gov.

| MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2009 Honest Andy Dear Conservatives, Republicans and Independents Looking for Reform,
Enter Andy McKenna. If incantations of poll-tested buzzwords is what you're in the market for then, friends, look no further than Andy McKenna. McKenna is the former Illinois Republican Party Chairman who despite having the top party post in the state for the past five years has cast himself as the, ahem, fresh-faced "outsider" ready to shake up Springfield. How's he going to do that? Why with the support of Springfield insiders like longtime House Minority Leader Tom Cross, who endorsed McKenna's candidacy. Enough politics. Are you ready for Andy McKenna on policy? When asked on the Roe Conn Show (WLS-AM 890) for a specific spending cut he would make, McKenna offered the $2.5 million budgeted for the Lieutenant Governor's office this fiscal year because we don't currently have a Lt. Gov. $2.5 million. We have a budget deficit north of $10 billion. What else you got, Andy? When asked on the Don Wade & Roma Morning Show (WLS-AM 890) what he would do about the state's moratorium on the death penalty, McKenna decisively offered that he would "review it" and then perhaps think about doing something one way or the other. Take a listen. When asked about K-12 reform at the gubernatorial debate sponsored by the Illinois GOP earlier this month, McKenna confidently suggested that we should do "whatever it takes" to improve education in Illinois. No word yet on what specifically that "whatever" may include. To be fair, McKenna is hardly the only candidate running a policy-free campaign. There are others who similarly offer strings of words that when combined have no substantive meaning. But in his recent barrage of TV and radio ads, McKenna is decidedly out-slithering the field by declaring that he is, "…the one honest, outsider businessman…" First, the passive aggressive implication that Honest Andy makes is that others in the field are not honest. Every other candidate in this race is a businessman in their chosen field. While I disagree with them on certain policies or certain judgment calls, I have found my opponents, perhaps now with the exception of Honest Andy, to be honest. If Honest Andy knows otherwise, he should come right out and say it rather than engaging in gutless innuendo. Second, according to several of my opponents, it was Honest Andy who whistled certain gubernatorial candidates into his office while he was State Party Chairman and had them lay out their campaign plans even as he was apparently plotting his own campaign for Governor, something he did not disclose. If that is not dishonest it is at minimum disingenuous. The great irony is that Honest Andy, like the kid on the playground who nicknames himself, is none of the things he professes to be. There will be some who say this is "negative" campaigning. But I am no more going to abide Honest Andy's extreme political makeover which threatens to debilitate our party than I am the scams run by Chicago Democrats whose policy choices have destroyed our state. Sincerely,
Dan Proft |

One of the value propositions of our campaign is to peel back the curtain and show folks who know they have been gamed by a system they finance just how the scams work—and who is running them, be they Republicans or Democrats. It is part of the knowledge I have acquired after 15 years working in Illinois politics and government. And I chose to run for governor because I knew, absent my candidacy, the same Chicago money men would attempt to put up another establishment cipher.
