I am voting for Rahm, but I could very well vote for Chico, anyway I had to share this. I do believe that much of Rahm's opposition in Chicago, which most likely won't stop him, is coming from the right. It would appear that the Tea Party is playing the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I think the most disturbing part of this e-mail, from Facebook, is not that they are endorsing Chico but they count very many Chicago police and firefighters as members of the tea party.
====================================
Dear Friends,
The Chicago Tea Patriots is endorse Gery Chico for Mayor of Chicago.
Gery Chico’s opponent is Rahm Emanuel. We need to stand up to Barack Obama and the ObamaNation and say, “Not in my backyard!”
Chico, who is endorsed by the Chicago Police and Chicago Fire emergency personnel service members, know too well the issues that we, the taxpaying residents face. Chico has long endorsed turning a decades-long mandate that prohibits members from living outside of city limits. Presently, police and fire officers are forced to live within the city limits. Many of our tea party members, rank-and-file of the our city’s finest and bravest have long wanted to have freedom to live and raise their families where they wish. Gery Chico is a friend to Chicago’s police and fire officers!
In addition, Gery Chico has consistently and always balanced a budget while working in city government in the 90s. He will, as he has before, cut waste. He will, as he has before, balance a budget, with a surplus. He will, as he has before, serve with honor.
Rahm Emanuel, has promised, as he has done while working for Barack Obama, to raise our taxes. As a progressive liberal, he knows no better.</span>
Bringing the American tradition of free markets back to Chicago so that small businesses are free from the tyranny of Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel’s hostile tax and spend agenda is the #1 priority of Gery Chico.
