Let us celebrate our new arrangement with the adding of chocolate to milk.
So Henry is retiring after this term. As much as I would have liked seeing Christine Cegelis deposing the guy after 32 years, this is definitely a terrific opportunity for CD6, Democrats & progressives in Illinois, and the nation in general.
Meanwhile, her likely opponent, Peter Roskam, publicizes on his Web site an award he received from Peter LaBarbara's Illinois Family Institute. The dude is anti-gay, anti-choice, and best of all, a former aide to Hyde and (drumroll please) Tom DeLay! Nationalizing this race, linking Roskam to DeLay and the corrupt, out of control, and unpopular Congress we now have is crucial. And there's no doubt the national GOP is going to pour money into this race now.
This is THE critical in Illinois in 2006, with regard to national politics.
The blogosphere is going to play a key role in this race. Stay tuned to this space for opportunities for YOU to help make change a reality.
Go Christine! Seeya Henry!
