But some of my fellow pro-lifers are waiting to see how things go, it seems, here it is again:I'm looking for contributions of just $10. We're asking our on-line pro-life friends to help make a difference. And believe me, $10 right now can really make a difference. If you can't afford $10 comfortably, make it $5.
We're getting some positive attention, like this NY blogger who interviewed me over the weekend. He asked how people around the country could help my campaign, and here's what I told him:
Buy me a beer. Go to http://www.paulfor62.com, and contribute the price of a beer to my campaign. Do I seem like a guy you'd like to sit down over a beer with? Buy me a beer. Or two. Or a case. The point is, I'm a regular guy with no experience, no organization, no money, and no name ID and I'm up against a well-funded incumbent with the party organization on her side. I know that regular Joe's are hard-pressed, because I am one, and we don't have large amounts of cash to donate to far-away political longshots. But if anyone reading thinks, "I wouldn't mind having a beer and talking to this guy," then donate the price of a beer to my campaign. And tell your friends to do the same.For those who have already contributed, you have my sincerest thanks. You really are making a difference in this campaign. But I still need more to be able to print some campaign materials for the upcoming events and door-to-door campaigning I have coming up.
So here's the donation button (if you can't see it, click the logo above to go to the campaign website and you'll see it there. Or send a check to: Committee to Elect Paul Mitchell, P.O. Box 153, Grayslake, IL 60030):

Good luck!
I think You know where I stand on this side of the Mississippi!
In case you haven't heard the good news, a higher court has cleared the way for the Illinois parental notification law to FINALLY be properly enforced!

And now for the bad news: our, ahem, esteemed legislators skipped town today after being in session all of 20 minutes (actually, less than 2 minutes in the House), leaving the state budget in limbo, and leaving me and thousands of other state employees with no paycheck tomorrow -- reportedly so some of them could get to the All Star Game and rub elbows with The One.
Needless to say lots of people who work for the state (and lots who don't) think this is the height of arrogance and are vowing, at least on the blogs, to vote out all incumbents if stunts like this keep up.
Well, actually I should clarify that the legislators are coming back into session tomorrow afternoon.
Still, if they scheduled this session for today just as an excuse to go to the game (and get paid for their hotel room in Springfield along with a good chunk of their travel), that would be pretty low IMHO.
