Bianchi has earned re-election to office

At one time, I looked forward to starting my day with a glance at the morning paper -- not any more. The 2007 headlines of local papers shocked us with murders, rapes, assaults, drugs, abuse and teens out of control.

The good news is that State's Attorney Lou Bianchi, has put together a staff of hardworking professionals, who put in the long hours to prosecute these offenders, and send a message that there's a consequence for violence and threats.

Under the Bianchi administration, bad behavior is now rewarded with a conviction, not a free pass to go out and escalate criminal behavior that threatens our families. Bianchi has honored his promise to return the state's attorney's office to the people.

In spite of adversities and the malicious slop that has been fabricated by his opposition, Lou continues to take the high road and let his record speak for itself. Lou is motivated by doing what he believes is right. His re-election is important to all of us. Please be sure to ask for a Republican ballot on Feb. 5 and vote for Lou Bianchi for McHenry County state's attorney.
