Voting my values

I think there are stark moral and positional differences between the two candidates running for US Congress in the 14th District. I am a Christian and a conservative. I'm voting my values; I'm voting Oberweis:

I am pro-life; Mr. Oberweis is pro-life.

I support law and order; Mr. Oberweis does as well.

I believe Nancy Pelosi is extreme and out-of-touch with conservative values.

I believe Mike Madigan and the Illinois "Democratic machine" are corrupt.

I do not support taxpayer-funded benefits and health care for illegal immigrants.

I have not met Ms. Underwood, but I assume she is a sincere and decent individual. The problem is that Ms. Underwood is 100% aligned with Nancy Pelosi and the extreme policies of the Democratic Party.

I have met and talked with Jim Oberweis. I judge him to be a sensible, fair and open-minded person who cares about our district and will vote on issues that reflect the hardworking families who live here.

Peaceful protest is lawful; rioting and burning down businesses is wrong. I believe we do need common sense law enforcement reform, but the idea of defunding police is a mistake.

Underwood has not condemned the rioting and looting destroying our cities. Jim Oberweis has.

Underwood has voted 100% in lockstep with Nancy Pelosi. It seems to me that Underwood's voting record aligns with the Democratic Party, much more than with her constituents.

Jim Oberweis is moderate, and I believe he will represent all the residents in our district.

Jim Oberweis has denounced the Madigan corruption; Ms. Underwood has not. Instead, she has taken thousands from Madigan to aid her campaign.

For me, the choice is simple. Jim Oberweis has my vote.
