Patlak vs Morrison

In today’s mail I received two pieces of campaign literature. The first was a derogatory piece accusing Dan Patlak of Electioneering, Soliciting, Political Hiring and Shaking down Property Tax Attorneys. There was no indication of who sponsored this trash. The second came from the Republican Organization of Orland Township with Liz Gorman’s signature. The second was billed as; “Your Official Republican Sample Ballot”. If it was a sample ballot, why didn’t it include all of the Republicans running for: Illinois State Senate, 18th District, Illinois State Representative 35th District, and candidates for the 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts? For Cook County Board of Review 1st District it promoted Sean Morrison as ” one of our own”. This was not a sample ballot it was a deception. It was a cheap political piece sponsored by Ms. Gorman.

Every morning I have to listen to the radio ads of Sean Morrison and Dan Patlak. Who’s telling the truth? If Mr.Patlak is such a crook present the evidence and put him in jail. The man has been in office for a short time and is accused of stealing thousands upon thousands of dollars.. That’s hard to believe. On top of that I received robo calls from Liz Gorman promoting Sean Morrison. When will this nonsense end? We don’t need deceptions and accusations; we need honest solutions to real problems. If this is the way people run campaigns, can you imagine how they’ll run their political office?

If Ms. Gorman is representing herself as the Republican Party Chairperson in Orland Township she needs to be fair to all Republican candidates running for office in Orland Park. I would encourage her to show better judgment and leadersip to work for clean and honest elections.. I don’t see her representation and actions worthy of a person that might want to be Mayor of Orland Park.

TWO CONTRASTING STORIES

Last week there were two contrasting stories. The first involved the Georgetown coed who went before Congress, and the world, to profess her promiscuity. Her problem was that she was having so much sex that she couldn’t afford the contraceptives. She came to Congress to ask that they mandate that contraceptives be included, free of charge, in all health care packages. The President of the United States personally called her to praise her courage and stated her parents should be proud.



The second story ,which received little coverage, was the Pentagon’s slashing of health care benefits to the military and their families. There was no Congressional Hearing, no objections from the President. There was little or no coverage from the media.



Where’s our priorities, where’s our moral values. If Washington wanted a political issue they sure picked a poor one. My money should go to the Military not for promiscuity.
