Kirk has served Illinois, nation

Posted October 26, 2010 11:00 pm

I enthusiastically will cast my vote for Rep. Mark Kirk for the office of the U.S. Senate.

Living, as I do, in the 10th Congressional District, I believe that Mark Kirk has served his constituents well, listening to our concerns and taking those concerns into consideration before voting and/or acting on a particular issue. I am especially proud of Mark that be, unlike other congressmen, does not add earmarks to any bill leaving the floor of Congress. He was, and is, instrumental in keeping the North Chicago VA facility functioning and consolidating it with the Naval Hospital.

Unlike his opponent, he has proudly served our country both in the military and as a congressman, and will if elected always work to keep our country safe and put us back on a fiscally stable road to recovery.
