See how to watch here: https://wibqam.com/2022/05/23/bailey-rabine-sullivan-to-face-off-tuesday-in-illinois-republican-primary-governor-debate/ I predict these three will split the vote which allows Irvin […]

By: Diane Benjamin Watch the debate video in this WGLT story: https://www.wglt.org/#stream/0 If you are in the 105th House District you need to watch the debate before voting. Note the times mediator Charlie Schlenker interjects his own opinion. See -45.40 and Brady’s snarky remark following. Maybe Charlie and Dan missed where the gas tax is […]
By: Diane Benjamin Obviously many of the candidates last night believe what they are told instead of facts. The Coliseum doesn’t lose $500,000 a year, $1,000,000+ is MUCH closer to the truth. The City pays a lot of money for auditors, they shouldn’t be burying the results. https://blnnews.com/2019/03/07/dont-want-to-be-fake-news-quit-acting-like-it/ Jenn Carrillo was playing with a ball […]
By: Diane Benjamin Since most people don’t even know an election is coming – meet your new representatives. Our Revolution is not about returning to the Constitutional values that made America great. It isn’t about individual responsibility. It is about destroying capitalism. It is Bernie Sander’s ground game for a socialist America. https://ourrevolution.com/press/ Carrillo […]
By: Diane Benjamin WGLT, League of Women Voters, and the Pantagraph held a debate last night for 8 of the candidates running for 3 Trustee seats.

I have scheduled a debate for Tuesday March 1st, 6:30pm at the Launch Pad – 315 E. Front Bloomington. . District 2 stretches from Heyworth to Towanda, this location was chosen because […]
By: Diane Benjamin What did Bloomington citizens tell their elected officials? Fix the roads and no spending public money on a downtown hotel. The Mayor and Council heard the same mantra over and over, but did they listen? Obviously not. Stay with me here . . . I get the same emails from ICMA – International […]
By: Diane Benjamin According to LaHood robo calls, early voting for the Primary to replace Aaron Schock starts tomorrow. LaHood didn’t show at his last scheduled event in Eureka, maybe he will show for this one. (http://cities929.blogspot.com/2015/05/lahood-no-show-at-gop-event-flynn.html) Don’t vote early until you have heard all 3 candidates. LaHood has already been in Washington having meetings […]
If you think Nancy Pelosi should be back in charge of the House and Barack Obama should remain President, then vote for Gill. His presentation tonight is in lock step with BIG government. government run healthcare was somehow tied to virtually every subject taxing millionaires and billionaires – Fair Share – cornerstone of campaign. Of […]
In last night’s debate we saw President Obama draw a stark contrast between himself and Mitt Romney. Tonight marks the first of 3 debates with my opponent, Rodney Davis, and I plan to do the same. I look forward to having the chance to speak to Rodney face-to-face about the issues affecting this district. It […]
by Diane Benjamin Main Stream Media (ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN) got knocked to the mat last night – America got to see what they didn’t want revealed: Obama hasn’t got a clue – Mitt Romney isn’t just for the rich The real Mitt Romney stepped up to the plate and hit it out of […]

Obama will be spinning faster than the centrifuges in Iran. He’s tried NOT to talk about Domestic Policy as the economy continues to drag itself along, barely alive. […]
