Running ON the Republican platform, not away from it!

Paul: The door to door campaigning went well yesterday with our group of young people from the parish – seventeen young people in all – braved to cold temperatures ito campaign in precinct 304. All the the young people were happy to help but our most enthusiastic volunteer was a 10 year old named Michael. Michael has Down Syndrome – I noticed right away expressions softening as he smiled and offered your campaign literature. With no words at all he made a stronger pro-life statement than anything I could have said!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sandy Cole Supporters attack GOP candidates for Governor, Congress, State House

When voters in the 62nd District received a late mailer from Personal PAC on behalf of Sandy Cole for State Representative, they were told ominously that her challenger in Tuesday’s Republican primary, Paul Mitchell, had a 100% rating from the Illinois Federation for Right to Life (IFRL).

The mailer, apparently sent only to female names in the district, boldly announces “Personal PAC Urges You to Vote NO ON PAUL MITCHELL.”

The Mitchell campaign hopes that Sandy’s friends aren’t painting with too broad a brush: Republican gubernatorial candidates Jim Ryan, Kirk Dillard, Bill Brady, Adam Andrejewski, and Dan Proft, as well as Republican 8th District Congressional candidates Maria Rodriguez and Joe Walsh, have all likewise been given 100% ratings from the IFRL.

No fewer than eighteen Republican candidates for statewide or legislative positions in Lake County have been rated 100% by IFRL, also including U.S. Senate candidates John Arrington and Patrick Hughes, Lt. Governor candidates Dennis Cook, Jason Plummer and Randy White, as well as Treasurer candidate Dan Rutherford, Comptroller candidate William Kelly, State Representative candidates Cynthia Hebda, Dan Sugrue, and incumbent State Representative Jo Ann Osmond.

“I’m proud to be among such honorable Republican company as these people,” says Mitchell, “and I wonder why Sandy Cole wouldn’t be. Perhaps she’d be more at home in a another party, one that doesn’t have a pro-life platform and leaders who are proud of their pro-life positions.”

Incumbent Rep. Sandy Cole, who has a perfect pro-abortion voting record, has often been the beneficiary of financial and in-kind support from Personal PAC, and local voters have seen such mailers before on behalf of 8th District Congresswoman Melissa Bean, a Democrat.

Mitchell’s campaign slogan is, “Running ON the Republican platform, and not away from it.” Said Mitchell, “I’m little hurt that they didn’t also mention that I’m recommended by Illinois Citizens for Life, and endorsed by Family-PAC, Illinois Citizens for Ethics, and Eagle Forum of Illinois, which are all also pro-life organizations. Still, I’m grateful to Personal PAC for this opportunity to highlight an important distinction between Mrs. Cole and myself. I am in step with the Republican Party, and she is not.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gurnee-IL: Eagle Forum of Illinois yesterday announced its endorsement of businessman Paul Mitchell in his race for nomination to the Illinois House in the 62nd District. “I am thrilled to receive Eagle Forum’s endorsement,” said Mitchell this morning. “The Eagle Forum is not only a powerful force in Illinois, but across our nation in the effort to foster conservative values in government,” Mitchell said. “I’m honored to receive this endorsement and proud to stand with the Forum in its efforts to strengthen families, fight for life, and protect our freedoms.”

In addition to Eagle Forum, Mitchell’s endorsements include Tax Accountability (the political arm of National Taxpayers United of Illinois), Illinois Conservatives, the Illinois Federation for Right to Life PAC, the Illinois Center Right Coalition, and numerous others.

Eagle Forum, a national organization of citizen-volunteers, participates in the public policymaking process. The Illinois division is today headed by former Illinois State Rep. Penny Pullen. Eagle Forum was originally founded and led by the conservative icon and legend, Phyllis Schlafly, now of St. Louis, previously of Alton, Illinois.

“Various Eagle Forum leaders in our state have examined the credentials and positions of the candidates seeking this nomination,” said Miss Pullen. “This was an easy choice. Paul Mitchell is challenging one of those incumbents who need to leave office. Her embrace of the radical Freedom of Choice Act just a year ago to invalidate every restriction Illinois has enacted to curb abortion casts doubt on her judgment and the principles she uses to make decisions about legislation affecting our families. Paul Mitchell is an outstanding candidate who can be counted on by families in the 62nd District to champion their interests. We salute his outspoken advocacy of the right to life and for protecting parental rights.

“Voters can trust Paul Mitchell, and we wish him well in the Feb. 2 GOP primary.”
