Need less negative campaigning in 6th

Posted October 23, 2008 11:00 pm

I don't know about the other folks who live in the 6th Congressional District, but I am getting sick of receiving all of these mailings about Congressman Peter Roskam being too extreme. The mailings are all exactly the same, and on the back, it says "Paid for by Jill Morgenthaler." Other than her bashing Peter Roskam, I haven't heard one thing about Jill Morgenthaler up until today when I saw a commercial about her. The commercial talked about the work she has done for Rezko and Blagojevich. While I know the commercial was paid for by Roskam, the information in the ad is much more pertinent to voters than hearing Jill's nonsense about Roskam's social views. I don't encourage negative campaigning. I would rather hear about the candidate's stance on issues dealing with our troubled economy, the war in Iraq and improving our health care system.
