State Senator Bill Brady (R-Bloomington) today called on Governor Rod Blagojevich to immediately resign his office in light of his arrest on federal criminal charges of soliciting bribes.
"The dire fiscal situation in Illinois demands that we have a chief executive who can devote his full attention to serving the people of Illinois. With this cloud now over his head, Rod Blagojevich clearly is encumbered in the performance of his official duties and should resign immediately. Governor Blagojevich has shown he has trouble governing in the best of times. These challenging times demand unencumbered leadership and a full-time governor working for the people of Illinois as they face great economic uncertainty," Brady said.
"Whether he is ultimately proven innocent or guilty, we know from recent history the time these judicial proceedings can take. Elected officials need to put the public interest ahead of their own personal interests. The interests of the people of Illinois should not be neglected while the governor faces a grave personal and legal challenge."

YES! The Governor of Illinois should resign. This is bad no matter what type of spin you can put on this.
Obama may be the next one under
investigation! As for Rod Blagojevich they'll have to
impeach him.
"Should the state members of the Electoral College cast their votes for Mr. Obama in the face of such overwhelming evidence, and without verification of Mr. Obama's eligibility, they would be committing treason to the Constitution," said Schulz.
Monday's P.M. Press Conference...
Where is It?
Obama WILL be the next one in trouble. If he isn't already, he will be.
Don't you think it's odd they KEEP running Nixon stuff????? Mentally they are preparing you.
