Let’s Celebrate Our Accomplishments

I hate to be too hard the people who say our efforts for Adam Andrzejewski were misdirected or futile.  There were not.  The people who scoff at what we accomplished are simply too lazy to think. 

Adam Andrzejewski received 40 percent of the vote in Madison County.  Madison is home to River Bend 9-12 and the Alton Tea Party. It’s directly across the river from St. Louis and St. Charles Counties.  Many folks from Madison and St. Clair are on the St. Louis Tea Party email list.  Many more follow our tweets and facebook walls. 

These grassroots conservatives poured on the heat in the last 8 days to give Andrzejewski his decisive win in Madison.  Conservatives did well all around the Metro East, as we call the part of Illinois adjacent to St. Louis and St. Louis County.

So let’s not catch anyone hanging their heads.  Backed a good man in a state where corruption is  king.  Chicago media refused to even mention that Lech Walesa, former President of Poland and Nobel laureate, was in their town.  Fox 2 News (KTVI) in St. Louis failed to mention Andrzejewski in its election day profiles of the other GOP candidates for governor.   (BTW, it’s almost time picket KTVI’s sponsors.)  And GOP party insiders or wannabe insiders hired a phony to pretend to be the tea party candidate in order to damage Andrzejewski.  Those are some might tall obstacles to overcome.

In the end, Adam got an 11 point surge in the final 8 days of the campaign. With 16 days, he might well have won.  With 2 weeks, it might have been a landslide. Our eye is on the prize: come November, we’re cleaning house in Washington.  Don’t let anything curb your enthusiasm.
