President Barack Obama will be in town on August 5th to help us continue to build the resources we need to win in November.  Democrats across the country recognize how important this race is.  After all, Congressman Kirk has a $4 million dollar campaign war chest built with millions from Wall Street, the insurance industry, oil companies and federal lobbyists, while Alexi refuses to take corporate special interest cash.

Michael Rendina, our campaign manager, has this to say on the visit:

We're excited to welcome President Obama back to Illinois to campaign with Alexi in early August.  The President's visit will reinforce the importance of the clear choice Illinois voters face between Alexi, who supports helping the President move America forward, and career Congressman Mark Kirk, who wants to go back to the same failed Bush policies that got us into this mess.

Like President Obama, Alexi knows how critical it is that our campaign is fueled by donations from ordinary people just like you.  It's why he made his pledge and why he's sticking with it.  And it's why we invite you to join our campaign today.
