Candidate Rap Sheets
Check here frequently as Rap Sheet development continues.

The Rap Sheets will contain an increasing amount of information, links and analysis. Given the level of corruption and inept representation in Illinois govt, a good start may be to reject all incumbents flat out but our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make the most informed decisions yourself for the Nov. 2nd, 2010 general election.

Integrity, a desire for Justice, Servant Leadership and a strong commitment to fight against the culture of corruption to achieve real change must be the foundation of new leadership in Illinois. Without these attributes in a candidate there is NO reason citizens should trust anything else they say no matter how many big promises they make.

We should question the value of supporting those candidates who are political party operatives including members of the failed and corrupt state legislature. They have had opportunities to fight tooth and nail for real change in their current elected positions without success, its time to support those candidates outside the political cesspool in Illinois.

Primary Candidate Questionnaire provided to Gov and Lt. Governor Candidates

Note: Reclaim Illinois is non-partisan and will be providing information on ALL candidates in play for the general election in November with the goal of electing the BEST candidate regardless of party. However, the key focus now is on the primary and making sure that we end up with the best possible republican and democrat candidates.

General Election - Candidates for Governor

Pat Quinn, Current Governor
While Mr. Quinn seems to be a friend to veterans, he falls far short in critical areas including not fumigating Blagojevich leftovers who shortchanged veterans. Mr. Quinn had his chance to show himself as the type of strong reform minded servant leader Illinois needs NOW by being decisive and doing the right thing for the citizens of Illinois and yet has blown it through his lack of meaningful action...
