Robin Kelly is the strongest candidate for Congress in Illinois' CD2, and she will be a powerful, thoughtful and trustworthy representative for her constituents and all of Illinois in Congress. I have had the opportunity to not only observe Robin as a legislator and manager of public funds and trust, but also interact with her on a personal basis. I am proud that the DailyKos community (of which I have been a member since 2005) is supporting Robin, and I encourage people here to support Robin financially as part of the Orange to Blue project.

Today, State Representative Julie Hamos announced her candidacy for Congress in the 10th District of Illinois, a seat being vacated by Mark Kirk who is seeking Obama's Senate seat. This is a great opportunity to turn a red seat blue, but not just blue, solid progressive blue. Julie is not a Blue Dog who we can support in a moderately conservative district holding our noses and our tongues; she is a true progressive that should warm the hearts of all kossacks.

Today is National Call-in Day to support the Community Choice Act. This Act received national publicity on April 27th, when 91 people were arrested in front of the White House for participating in a peaceful protest. Although protesters being arrested is not unusual, what makes this instance unique is that a majority of those arrested were people with disabilities. Close to a hundred people with disabilities (many of whom are wheelchair users) handcuffed themselves to the fence of the White House attempting to urge President Obama to take action on the Community Choice Act, which is currently making its way through the House and Senate. Although our country’s health care system is in the midst of widespread reform, without the Community Choice Act, hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities will be unnecessarily segregated in institutions against their wishes.
