A day in the Schafer for Congress Campaign

Today was a media blitz through the Southern Counties of the 18th District

I started in Springfield on the Jim Leach show on WMAY
(The audio is not on the web yet)

This was followed by "What's On Your Mind" on WLDS, Jacksonville, a 40 minute on-the-air debate featuring the 18th District Candidates Sheldon Schafer, Aaron Schock & DK Hirner

Following this I traveled to Virginia in Cass County, and Havanna in Mason County to interview with the Mason County Democrat (the local weekly) and campaign door-to-door, put out another dozen yard signs,

and then it was back to Peoria for a meet-and-greet with the residents of Proctor Home.

At the same time, David Pittman visited 700 homes door-to-door in Springfield.

It was quite a weekend.

We have just two more weeks in the campaign, and will be meeting tomorrow at Peoria Pizza Works to lay out our plans.

Please join us.  We could certainly use your help.

You're Greener than you think - it's time to vote that way!

Sheldon Schafer is the candidate offering common sense, common ground, consistent life-supporting solutions for today’s problems. He will close the gap between our communities and our politics and work with people across the issues to promote inclusive democracy that engages everyone and that restores civil liberties, civil rights, and sustainable freedoms.

“I am an independent voice speaking for each citizen, not for money, and not for special interests. During this time of massive corporate and special interest giveaways, and unprecedented environmental, financial and employment crises, I will change the political dynamic like no Democrat or Republican candidate can. I will return the voice of the individual to Washington.”

Each election year, Illinois voters claim to be fed up with the state's "pay to play" politics, yet they continue to vote for the parties that created the problem; the parties that have no vested interest in changing the system. And we wonder why nothing changes? Illinois voters need to discover that on these and other issues, they’re “Greener” than they think! It’s time to vote for real, sustainable change!
