Just curious, friends for Debbie Boyle? Are these facts taken in context? Of course not.

Here's an honest assessment for those who care about Debbie's continued NEGATIVE campaigning:

http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2012/03/deb-boyle-moon-made-of-green-cheese-sandack-a-teamster.html

Just the Facts... Again.

For those who don't know... Dirty Politics Debbie Boyle's ENTIRE campaign in a nut shell.

81% of her campaign FINANCED by 1 person... Cicero Dan Proft.

Empowering Children PAC - Dan Proft - 3/16/2012 - $10,000

Illinois Opportunity Project - Dan Proft - 3/16/2012 - $10,000

Dan Roeser - Dan Proft's other Sugar Daddy - 3/7/2012 - $5,000

Richard Uihlein - Dan Proft's Sugar Daddy - 2/27/2012 - $5,000

Libert PAC - Dan Proft's - 12/17/2012 - $5,000

$35,000 total raised by Cicero Dan Proft which paid for all of Dirty Debbie Boyle's negative campaign ads.

$43,150 raised by her ENTIRE campaign thus far meaning 81% of her campaign is funded by ONE person?

If you take Jeffrey Crane's $3,500, that means Debbie Boyle's actual campaign raised $4,650 on its own, or $1,162.50 per negative attack mailer.

Is Lee Andreatta believable? He is a spokesperson for Ron Sandack and is the most negative blogger in this sphere. He denied making this comment. I would be very careful placing to much emphasis on what he says.

UoCDoc 
Did you condemn Lee Andreatta for accusing Deb of punching a 3 year old at the train station? I very well could have missed it but I would think you would be hoping that Deb sues Lee for slandering her. What a total scum bag Lee Andreatta is for saying this!!! He is such a nasty liar! absolutely disgusting!!!!!!!

I never stated such a thing. Although I do think the imagery is compelling.
Did you call Dan F a scumbag liar for stating Ron Sandack accosted a disturbed screaming crazy lady at his Cellar Door appearance? Probably not.

Statement:
Lee Andreatta, spokesperson for Ron Sandack says things like this.

Thanks for letting us know!

I heard Debbie Boyle punched a 3 year old girl at the train station

Voters of the 81st District. The people on Lees list that are supporting Ron Sandack think this type of politics, the same old politics, the politics that has made your children's futures in Illinois very costly and uncertain, think this is acceptable. Please read......
Ron Sandack, candidate for 81st district house representative, received a campaign donation from Penn National Gaming for $2,500. A gaming company from Pennsylvania!
Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) are often in the news. Summer 2010 saw these developments:
Penn National Gaming announced it will open the first casino in Maryland, less than two years after voters approved VLTs.
The Illinois Gaming Board began setting up a system to issue licenses for the first VLTs in that state, probably early next year. As many as 10,000 bars, restaurants and others might apply.
Ron Sandack is taking money from every special interest group and corporation that have legislative and political aspirations in the state of Illinois.
Be very aware and concerned by the future legislative ramifications of these donations. These donations are coming in at an alarming rate to a candidate that has never held an elected office as a state representative and was only appointed to his present position less than one year ago. The majority of the electorate in the 81st district have never heard of Ron Sandack. Who will he be representing if elected to represent the 81st district. The answer is very clear. Follow the money!

There is only 1 fact I need to know: "Cicero" Dan Proft is bankrolling Boil's bash-Ron-campaign.

Why would one of the GOPs shadiest characters - who has spent years engaged the town of Cicero's "government" - want so badly to drive the Boyle bus?

The past month has shown us how vulnerable Boyle is to handlers. I could only imagine how manipulated, by shady people like Cicero Dan, she would become in Springfield.

Cicero Dan has been around a long time & knows a pawn when he sees one. He has seen Boyle & has felt it important enough to HIS cause to fund the junk mail in your mailboxes.

I refuse to let Cicero Dan decide who will represent my Downers Grove needs. I will be voting for Senator Sandack.

Dear friends,

You can say Senator Sandack has not proven your statements to be inaccurate but I & many others would disagree. I'd prefer to compare your framing of the facts to the following example:

I could tell my kids that on August 6th, 1945 the U.S. annihilated Hiroshima, Japan & killed scores of people & affected many generations later. I could then stop my story & walk away to never say another word about it or all of the leading events.

What impression do you think they would have of 1945 U.S.?

What good have I done in telling a "fact" without telling "The Facts"?

Very little good, indeed; yet that is the exact aporoach YOU have taken.

I cannot wait until Wednesday morning when all the politicing, mailers, telephone surveys on what I think of boyle and the negative comments on Patch is done and RON SANDACK defeats Krajewski and his Circus of friends for the 2nd time.................

You talk about "Facts" and then get them wrong.

You paint this special little vision of the "Facts" in your favor and then cry victim. The Debbie Boyle Campaign is just about as desperate a bunch of guys that I have ever seen.

I will again address this for those of you who still believe Debbie Boyle is not lying:

The court documents shows Ron Sandack and three other Board members as Party Plaintiffs in those cases. He was a private pension fund Trustee / Board member in those cases.

The Counsel for the Boards are the Plaintiffs in these suits. Under law are required to list all board members. (basic business knowledge)

The pension board is made up of management trustees like Ron and the others listed) and union trustees, in this case the Teamsters.

When a company stops paying the benefits it owes, the Board's counsel brings a collection case. Hence the documents you people keep pointing at. This happens in nearly every corporate bankruptcy case.

Ron did not sue in these cases. The Board he sat on did. Ron cannot receive a single penny in a suit like this.

The suit protected the rights of the employees who were getting screwed by their employer. Private employees who paid into their retirements plans with a promise from their employer to do the same. Their employer did not. Their employer was about to go bankrupt. How is protecting the workers a bad thing?

Even the highly respected Illinois Review, the "Crossroads of the Conservative Community" recognized the FACTS surrounding the lawsuit. Debbie has mailed out attack piece after attack piece and using language which she perceives to be derogatory such as "Teamster Ron".

She is intentionally misleading the voters but don't take my word for it, read it here:

http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2012/03/deb-boyle-moon-made-of-green-cheese-sandack-a-teamster.html

I find it somewhat unusual that I have not received any campaign mailings from either party. How lucky can one person get?

http://www.dggab.com/images/forumo/teamsters.pdf

Here's a fact that Ronnie boy "forgot" to tell the voters about back in March of 2007. It was real TRANSPARENT", He didn't want us all to know the Teamsters were supporting him. It wouldn't have been the way to start the Era of Time for Change.

Alice,

Not sure why you didn't receive any but sometimes those mailing lists are imperfect. It's been an ugly campaign from the one side so you should consider yourself lucky! I hope you vote tomorrow.

Debbie, it looks like your "Teamster Ron" mailings and slurs have finally gotten some interest. They attracted the attention of the Illinois Review, the "Crossroads of the Conservative Community"

Good Job!

Here are a few quotes from the link below:

"Ron Sandack is an attorney. Deb: That's a-t-t-o-r-n-e-y. As an -- all together now -- attorney, Ron represents clients. That's c-l-i-e-n-t-s."

"It is important that you got this wrong, because it shows a significant understanding deficit. Not only is Ron not a Teamster, he is on such a panel specifically for his non-Teamster view.

Deb, this means you kind of got this 180 degrees wrong. "

"So, Deb Boyle, on this St Patrick's day eve I have the sad duty to report that, in nursing terms, your assessment skills need a refresher. The patient walked in, you took one look, and you called him a Teamster, when in fact he is an attorney representing job creators."

http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2012/03/deb-boyle-moon-made-of-green-cheese-sandack-a-teamster.html

UocRon,

The only endorsement Deb will need tomorrow is the voter's! We'll see! At least if Teamster Ron wins, he had to earn it. Believe me, we'll be watching no matter who wins and his elected in November. The DG Watch will grow and be watching every move in Springfield. I, as a citizen of this state, am tired of the cesspool of government here! If Ron wins he better represent the citizens! When I look at his list of contributors, I ask HOW?

When does who has more money make the winner?? Didn't BK have a huge war chest when we was defeated by RS for mayor? I guess money isn't everything!! I agree that a lot of the patch has been extremely nasty. I apologize for MY part. I truly don't think RS is a good candidate and I do not believe he will represent the citizens best interests, if elected. He has proven many times, mostly locally, that he has his inner circle and that is all he needs/wants/cares about. I have had REAL life EXPERIENCES with RS which help form my current opinions. We have attended parties, eaten hot dogs, and had drinks with RS and many of the people on the lists that are being circulated to prove RS's electability. My opinions are based on those interactions. I do not lie, I hate liars. For RS's supporters to claim that all the negativity is coming from Boyle side is ridiculous. We have NOT accused Ron of hurting a child, patting someone on the head at the train station and calling them a dog, We have not gotten in RS's face and intimidated him at a train station. These are all things that RS supporters have done. The bottom line is that this was a very nasty race and BOTH sides were passionate and nasty!!! To conclude something else would be lying to yourselves.

Melanie,

You cannot produce even a single attack mailer sent out by the Sandack campaign. Not a one. The only non-positive think event sent out was the Sandack-lite mailer and it was by no means an attack piece. It was a comparison of the two candidates and how similar Debbie's platform was to what Ron had previously published.

Debbie has sent our 5 or 6 mailers to my residence, and all but 1 was an attack piece.

Yes, this drivel on the Patch has been often times negative and counter productive but as far as I know, it's not the candidates who are posting here. Don't worry, Paul will jump in shortly and accuse me being Ron again. Paul, again, I am not Ron.

I suspect this is not how Debbie and Mark wanted to run their campaign but when you align yourselves with guys like Proft, and take $35,000 of his money, you have got to run the show the way he wants it run. That $35,000 is 81% of her entire campaign! Guys like Proft only know how to run a smear campaign. For a candidate to go negative from the start speaks volumes about her character.

I was at the Tea Party event and saw Proft's consultant working with Debbie on the speech. She wrote that speech for Debbie, whereas Ron writes his own. ROn knows the issues and will represent the people of the 81st District exceptionally well. He will event represent you and your husband.

Interesting article on the Daily Herald describing this race. (http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20120316/news/703169555/)

"Boyle has chosen to avoid most media exposure and attend only a limited number of speaking engagements. She has opted to focus on sending mailers."

"Boyle did not respond to several Daily Herald interview requests over the past several weeks, including for this story, and did not attend a Feb. 17 endorsement interview with Sandack and members of the newspaper’s editorial board."

One way to run a race if you are not ready for prime-time. Hide & go exclusively negative.

That's Debbie Boyle for you.

Partial list of the endorsements for Senator Ron Sandack:

Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford
Government Reformer Adam Andrzejewski
State Senator Kirk Dillard
State Senator John Millner
DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin
House Minority Leader Tom Cross
Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno
State Rep Jim Durkin
State Rep Michael Connelly
DuPage County Board Member John Curran
Mayor Bill Murphy - Woodridge
Mayor Joe Broda - Lisle
Mayor Bill Rahn - Westmont
Mayor Roger Claar - Bolingbrook
Mayor Kathy Weaver - Darien
Illinois State Chamber of Commerce
National Rifle Association (NRA)
Stand for Children
For the Good of Illinois PAC
Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce PAC
Illinois Society of Advanced Practice Nursing Association
Illinois State Medical Society
Family PAC
DuPage Conservatives

Adam Andrzejewski, For the Good of Illinois PAC-- “I support Ron Sandack for his extremely strong leadership on four key issues: i) pension reform and the elimination of legislative pensions; ii) End of corporate giveaways. He was only one of four senators to vote against the Sears/CME bill; iii) Term limits. He took action in Downers Grove on the issue and spearheads the issue in Springfield; and iv) Elimination of unnecessary or redundant units of government.”

The Chicago Tribune -- “Few public officials walk the walk like Republican Sen. Ron Sandack, of Downers Grove. Appointed in 2010, he has declined state pension and health care benefits and refused to participate in the scandal-ridden legislative scholarship program. He gets high marks for his work ethic — he's famous for actually reading the bills — and he's not afraid to take the heat for an unpopular vote. He's endorsed over Deborah Boyle"

The Daily Herald—“Our choice is easy: state Sen. Ron Sandack. We like Sandack’s ideas on governmental reform. He introduced a bill calling for term limits on state legislators — he’ll abide by his idea of a 10-year limit regardless of whether it ever gets approved — and he has turned down both the pension health care benefits, saying the job is part-time and benefits should not be part of the deal. His priorities are creating jobs, reforming the pension systems and restructuring the budget with at least a 10 percent spending cut across the board.

Great Doc! Where's Howdy Doody, Garfield Goose, Oprah Winfrey, Ronald McDonald and Mark Buerhle? Voter vote not Illinois Politicans who are part of the reason we are AGAIN, #45 ranked in states to start a new business and #2 ranked in percentage of the population exiting the state. Tell me what Ron will do to change the cesspool of Illinois politics. Right now it seems he'll embrace it. Did he refuse any of contributions?

I'll stop posting and declare a cease fire. Lee, Don and Uocdoc have to agree also.

Paul,

I just agreed to do so in response to Mr. Slayton's request. I cannot justly speak for the others.

Lee,

Let's face it, politics is not the noble calling that it should be. If you want to get ahead, you have to go negative. Even though voters say that they detest negative campaigning, it works.

To some extent, it's a necessary evil. If candidates for elected office would point out their past problems, there would be far less negative campaigning. Mark Kirk made some political hay with the fact that Alexi Gionoulous' family bank had to be closed by federal regulators, and that questionable loans were made while Alexi was a loan officer.

If Alexi had pointed out those facts before the campaign started in earnest, and went on that he, and a lot of bankers have learned the hard way that lending institutions need to be more selective in who gets a loan (home mortgage, commercial real estate, small business, etc.), the public may have found the mea culpa refreshing and voted for him, rather than Kirk.

Certainly, pointing out that Ron Sandack has represented a Teamsters pension fund, while a bit negative, is something that voters are entitled to know. For someone who claims to be a champion of pension reform, it is curious as to why he does legal work for a union that, typically, is hellbent on preserving pensions in a economic climate that is moving towards 401(k) plans. We know that the various unions representing state employees are opposed to significant pension reform. So, would the Teamsters try to influence Ron to stop championing reform?

People, if you would like to know the truth and the facts behind this "Teamster" nonsense, I suggest you read the following.

http://downersgrove.patch.com/announcements/facts-do-matter

Oh no you don't UocRon,

You said no posts and The Sandack Camp posted my friend. You think I am going let you put this RON-SPEAK garbage out there so you can attempt to body and mind snatch more people? What a crock of b.s. A saintly campaign Ron has ran. A model citizen award should be given to Thomas, Lee, Don, yourself-uocRON, and the rest of the idiots. We have already ripped this posting all over facebook and twitter. Emailing to about 7000 soon. Your camp is the camp of BURY IT, SPIN IT and BRAIN WASH THEM. You may win Tuesday but Jeff and I and many others will be a royal pain in your ass. We'll be watching every vote and reporting on it to the voters especially the one's minds you have snatched. You are the same old same old...the reason we are a cesspool. You will play the game like those before you. You are just re-packaged as Sandack-Heavy and very in love with yourself. They need you in SPRINGFIELD! They want you in SPRINGFIELD! You better hope the VOTERS want you in SPRINGFIELD. Never know what people outside the sacred land (PD) are thinking and will do tomorrow.

Now UocRon...bye bye I'm done till the election is over. What a bunch of fools you all are to think you can brainwash the entire district. If you lose Ron you can take a trip to Penn National and give them back their $2500. ha ha

Here is a question I sent both candidates today and the only one I need an answer to at this point in the campaign: Will you be vindictive toward those who opposed you in this election, or will you lead by example and sincerely attempt to make amends with one and all for the good of our community and your party?
Please, partisans, don't respond with the wrongs done your candidate or the sins of your opponent. There's plenty of blame to go around. I've been on the receiving end of political "ill will" for much longer than a campaign season and if I can set aside old wounds and differences--and I can and will--I expect no less of the candidates running to represent us in District 81 or of their followers.

Here's a fact: Ron Sandack has a reputation in Springfield as one of the hardest working, most straight forward legislators.

A cynic might suggest that's the equivalent of being the tallest midget, but it really does say alot about Ron.

The man understands as well as anyone the issues of this broken state & he has the ideas, initiative, conviction and ability to put forth legislation that helps us get back on track.

It would be just one more example of bad politics if District 81 sends anyone else to represent our needs.

Thanks, Don. My dad's a union guy, too. I just felt that everyone had more than registered their response to the candidates and their campaigns. And I don't disagree with you--I think the "bad behavior," as you refer to it, has been poisoning our town for at least the last five years (and possibly longer). Speaking only for myself, I'm hoping to see a significant rapprochement following this election. In fact, I'm going to insist upon it, even if I'm the only one to do so.

There will be two of us then working for the same thing (we can be a "bloc"). Enjoy the great weather, and happy election day!!
