Monday cap-and-trade Tea Party at Rep. Mark Kirk's office

A few months ago prior to a bloggers' conference call, when there was talk that a special election to determine Barack Obama's successor after Rod Blagojevich's arrest, I brought up the possibility thAT Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Highland Park) could run--and win.

Another blogger on the call, I don't know who it was, but he ripped into Kirk, stating he wasn't conservative enough. I defended Kirk.

But no conservative...Hey, no self respecting moderate could vote for the energy tax bill, better known as cap-and-trade.

Kirk was one of eight Democrats to vote for the energy tax.

Have you had enough? I have, which is why I plan to be at the Cap-and-Trade Tea Party at Mark Kirk's office just a few miles up the road from me in Northbrook.

Here's what you need to know:

Monday - June 29 - 12 Noon
707 Skokie Boulevard
Suite 350
Northbrook, IL 60062

Kirk's office phone is 847-940-0202, his Fax number is 847-940-7143. If you'd like to e-mail him, click here.

If you can't make it to that one, then cross the party aisle and head a few miles west to Schaumburg on Tuesday for a Tea Party at Rep. Melissa Bean's office in Schaumburg:

Tuesday - June 30 - 12 Noon
Melissa Bean
1701 E. Woodfield Road
Suite 200
Schaumburg, IL 60173

Bean's district office phone number is 847-517-2927, if you'd like to fax the alleged Blue Dog Democrat--her fax number is 847-517-2931. Click here to e-mail Bean.

I can't make the Bean event--work beckons me.

Bring signs.
