Last night the McHenry County Democratic Central Committee had the pleasure of caucusing in several new candidates for the 2008 General Election...

(Former MCDCC Chair) Tom Cynor- Candidate for State's Attorney, Kerry Julian- Candidate for County Auditor, Anita Harmon- Candidate for McHenry County Board District 2, Jill Mawhinney- Candidate for McHenry County Board District 2

Congratulations to all of these outstanding candidates who will definitely strengthen an already strong Democratic ticket in McHenry County.

Like St. Patrick did in Ireland...we need to drive the snakes from our country. Our snakes are the do nothings in office. On the federal and local levels we have (mostly Republicans) who believe the status quo is just fine, but this just means recession, foreclosures, an unending foreign war, skyrocketing debt, high property taxes, diminishing water, sprawl, and traffic congestion. Enough is enough. There is hope for the future, but only if we throw these bums out. Let's start the change, and use St. Pat as our inspiration. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!

Come and watch Leonardo DiCaprio's new movie The 11th Hour. This environmentally conscious movie is a must see for anyone who is following and concerned about the environmental crisis.

Congratulations to the new leadership of the McHenry County Democratic Central Committee (Party). I am sure that these new officers will be able to carry on the remarkable change in our County that will help to improve all of our lives and local government.

I would also like to extend a special congratulations to my son Bryan who was re-elected unanimously to the position of district chair for district 1. I know that Bryan's tireless efforts and energy will be able to increase the number of precinct committeemen and help to improve the strength of the Democratic Party in district 1.

I believe that these Party changes will help the Democrats to continue to take advantage of the enormous political alienation many have felt nationally and in McHenry county after years of Republican abuse and neglect.
