Kirk is fiscal conservative

As a lifelong Illinoisan, it is disheartening, and embarrassing to see national news stories about the insolvency of our state. We cannot afford to have candidates like Alexi Giannoulias, who want to increase income tax rates, as well as out-of-control government spending. Especially with his disastrous financial background of driving his family bank into the ground, and losing millions of state dollars to the "Bright Start" program. Mark Kirk's record of voting to cut taxes and wasteful spending could not contrast more with Giannoulias'. We need to elect fiscal conservative Mark Kirk to the U.S. Senate.
