Follow on Google News | Illinois Republicans Jump the Shark with MailerIllinois Republicans mangle the facts and State Representative Sam Yingling's (D.,62) record.
By: Kurth Lampe Wrong face, wrong facts, wrong disclosure We all make mistakes in life, but the Illinois Republican Party and their pawn Rod Drobinski have hit the “oops” jackpot in a big way. Last week a mailer critical of Illinois State Representative Sam Yingling (D- 62nd District) hit the trifecta. The mailer featured the wrong face, the wrong facts and the wrong financial disclosure information. Wrong Face - The mailer has a picture of a private citizen who is not Sam Yingling identified as Sam Yingling. To make matters worse, it is a picture obviously stolen from the campaign’s website. Wrong Facts - The facts, the votes attributed to Yingling, including the state income tax hike, took place before Yingling was in the legislature. To add insult to injury, Yingling has been a vocal opponent of the tax, something that had been discussed with Drobinski and reported by the Daily Herald a week before the mail was printed. Wrong Financial Disclosure - An examination of the A-1 disclosures filed at the State Board of Elections by the campaign of Yingling’s opponent, Rod Drobinski, shows mailings on September 29 and October 4 which identify the source of the funds for the mailing as “House Republican Organization.” The mailer is proof that Drobinski and the Illinois Repubican Party are not ready to govern. If they get the face wrong, the facts wrong and the financial disclosure wrong, the are likely to get the future of Illinois wrong. End
