We need more (genuine) Republican judges of election in the 43rd Ward. The deadline is fast approaching. After February 6, the Board of Elections will start filling any empty slots with whoever applies, including Democrats.

While Americans suffer from a stagnant economy, high unemployment, and a record $15 trillion debt,  President Obama, in Tuesday's State of the Union Address, advocated more of the same: trillions in spending, higher taxes, and more aggressive regulations.

He called for more government-based solutions and redistributive wealth policies, all while ignoring unpopular signature legislation like the Stimulus, the Frank-Dodd Act, and Obamacare.
