Change is Good




Remember this?

     In early 2017, I blogged about my husband getting arrested while trying to attend a meeting with our Congressman, Peter Roskam - who was in our town to discuss healthcare and the Affordable Care Act.



Get this...


"Democrat Sean Casten declares victory over U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam in pivotal 6th Congressional District"
Chicago Tribune, November 6, 2018, 10:55 PM 
 
 
     Wynn and I worked hard to defeat Roskam. We attended candidate forums and "meet and greets".  We put our money where our mouths were.  We both phone banked for the Casten campaign and Wynn canvassed nearly every weekend in the months preceding election day.  Roskam voted 60 times against protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions - and we needed him out.    

'NUF SAID.
