As a long-suffering constituent of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), I've had to contend with statements like this one: "Well, John, you live in a Democratic district, what do you expect?" First of all, the district, which was drawn for Schakowsky, belongs to the 600,000 residents of the 9th--including me.Secondly, as I've been stating for years, Schakowsky is an extremist--I believe she is the most liberal member of the House of Representatives. For instantly, ObamaCare is too timid for Schakowsky; she favors a single-payer system such as the dysfunctional, and yes, deadly National Health Service of Great Britain. Shakowsky backs cap and trade--the national energy tax, the anti-jobs Employee Free Choice Act, as well as partial-birth abortion. And she favors federal funding of abortions.
From a Joel Pollak press release:
The Pollak for Congress campaign launched the "ExtremeJan.com" website Thursday, featuring quotes by Jan Schakowsky and information about her far left-wing activities and positions.Technorati tags:
Rep. Schakowsky was rated the most extreme left-wing member in both houses of Congress by GovTrack.us, a non-partisan legislative tracking service.
The non-partisan National Journal also ranked Ms. Schakowsky as one of the most liberal Democrats in the House of Representatives.
"Jan Schakowsky is the most extreme member of Congress. Worse, she is intolerant of other views. Voters ought to know where she really stands when they go to the polls," said Joel Pollak, Republican challenger in the 9th district.
The website includes information on Schakowsky’s stances on: spending, corruption, abortion, and more. It can be viewed at: http://extremejan.com/
