A Message from Joseph Shannon:
Friends,
I am running for Congress because I believe our government should serve the citizens of our country - our families, the communities we choose to raise our kids- not political parties, elected officials or corporate interests. One of the first things Judy Biggert did when she was elected to Congress was break her term-limits promise to the people of the 13th District. And since then, she has consistently put the needs of her party, the needs of her contributors, and the needs of staying in office over the needs of the people of the 13th District.
During her tenure in office, we have gone from budget surpluses to record deficits. The national debt has gone up nearly $3 trillion from $5.5 Trillion to $8.5 Trillion since the incumbent was elected. Nearly 25% of all of our personal federal tax dollars go to pay INTEREST on the debt. Our troops have gone into battle without adequate body armor, resulting in inexcusable deaths and injuries. Yet Congress has appropriated hundreds of millions to fund bridges to nowhere. More illegal immigrants have entered our country than in any other period of our history. The shipping of our manufacturing jobs overseas has decimated families and communities across our country.
We need to replace career politicians in Washington with people who will work hard for our families and communities here.
My family and I are humbled by your support this year. We have made significant progress in this election. We’ve had hundreds of volunteers work together for a better future for our children. At the campaign, we are on the go morning and night. But understand this. Our commitment is small compared to the sacrifices made by our parents in this great nation and the over 140,000 servicemen and women abroad in foreign lands who are on call 24 hours a day.
We are proud to walk shoulder to shoulder with you in this election.
I need your help in restoring the people's voice to our House of Representatives. We need your financial support. You can contribute on-line at www.josephshannonforcongress.com. Please reach out to your friends who want a change in Congress.
Let’s make it happen.
