Many questions are unanswered about Peter Roskam's brief record in the Illinois sixth district. His failure to debate, to defend or explain his record to the people of the district is disturbing.
His extremely negative campaign currently running on TV and Radio is despicable and cowardly, besides being filled with untruths and distortions. We don't think that this kind of politics is in line with the needs or ethics of the 6th district. His positions are extreme and out of sync with the district.
Fact: he votes with Bush over 90% of the time. Fact: he votes in favor of tax breaks for Big Oil. Fact: he voted against veterans benefits. Fact: he is co-sponsoring a bill that will censor literature sold on military bases. Fact: he is against abortion even if the health of the mother is at risk. Fact: he voted against the bailout, twice.
The fact is that Peter Roskam doesn't deserve another term as our congressman. We need Jill Morgenthaler.
