Lauzen Celebrates Hastert Endorsement of Oberweis

Thursday, 12/13/2007

It’s not about money, power, or insider clout – it’s about the people. Former Congressman Hastert’s decision crystallizes what this campaign is all about. . . big money and big Insider Establishment clout versus the rest of us in the grassroots. Pro-life, pro-Constitution, including the 2nd Amendment, pro-family, and pro-taxpayer groups have already endorsed me based on my 15-year voting record of independence and traditional, conservative values. The Hastert endorsement may be good for Oberweis (who has lost all 3 campaigns he’s ever run, including the 2002 U.S. Senate Race, also with Hastert’s endorsement), but it’s bad for the people and bad for unity in the Republican Party. Hastert has resigned; Oberweis is running against me; let the people decide. I recognize that the endorsement that matters is the people’s. And, the people have consistently said “yes” to me and consistently said “no” to Oberweis.                                            ###
