Comment by Diane Fatouros on August 19, 2009 at 7:27am: There will be a Chamber of Commerce "Town Hall" breakfast for Melissa Bean on Wednesday Sept 3rd. Don't know where yet, but will find out. Want to demonstrate out front? Maybe we can meet up at RALC picnic on Sunday or on Sat in front of Bean's office.

Comment by Bruce Donnelly on August 17, 2009 at 4:57pm: Wrapping up funeral arrangements this week, but I hope to be at the Recess Rally for Melissa Bean (Schaumburg office Aug 22) and will look into the Republican Association of Lake County Picnic on Aug 23. Thanks for the suggestion. I have not participated in the past, so I will have to find the details. Note that I am also in the process of setting up a new "Change Congress" feature at SurgeUSA.org. Details to follow soon in preparation for 2010 already.

Comment by Diane Fatouros on August 16, 2009 at 9:39am: I am sorry to hear of your personal problems & definitely agree that Big Brother is the last thing any of us needs at that point in our lives--be it us or a loved one.

Comment by Diane Fatouros on August 16, 2009 at 9:37am: Bruce are you going to the Republican Association of Lake County Picnic on Sunday, August 23rd?

Comment by Bruce Donnelly on August 13, 2009 at 3:01pm: Sorry for the slow response - a family health emergency took place on July 17 while I was at the rally, so I have been dealing with "end of life" issues ever since (and certainly wouldn't have wanted the government to be more involved!)

See http://recessrally.com/illinois/ for an August 22 "Recess Rally" at the local offices of all members of Congress, including Melissa Bean. Hopefully this will attract a larger turnout than in July. For now, I still don't have an answer for the question of finding a good candidate to defeat Bean in 2010.

Comment by Diane Fatouros on July 18, 2009 at 6:49am: I had originally put this on the Cook County site...
Bruce, I believe I met you at the July 17th demonstration in front of Melissa Bean's office in Schaumburg Il. You were talking with my husband & one other gentleman. I gave you my sign when I had to sit down.
How do we find a viable candidate to unseat Melissa Bean?? I will gladly help in any way I can.

Comment by Diane Fatouros on July 18, 2009 at 6:34am: How & where do we find a sane candidate to replace Bean??? I will do anything I can, I just don't know where to go or how to start. I can recruit other willing foot soldiers!

Comment by Bruce Donnelly on July 16, 2009 at 9:08pm: Tea Party Patriots has planned health care protests at the local offices of all members of Congress on Friday July 17 at noon EDT. At 11am CDT that includes the Melissa Bean office in Schaumburg at 1701 E Woodfield Rd. but it isn't clear how many people are aware of this or plan to participate. Worth a try at least.

Comment by Bruce Donnelly on June 28, 2009 at 12:12pm: Don't forget - Bean voted in favor of the "cap and trade" tax bill

Unfortunately, so did Mark Kirk.
