It has come to my attention that JERRY COSTELLO (after 22 years in Congress no less) DOES NOT KNOW THE REQUIREMENTS TO SERVE IN CONGRESS. This doesn't surprise me as he is a mediocre representative at best, but for him to continue to spread ignorance for political gain is typical of the kind of expertise he has brought to the office of U.S. Representative. I think it's time to replace him with someone who DOES know the requirements for the office as set out by the U. S. Constitution, so here it is:
From Page 15 of the Illinois Candidate's Guide: REQUIREMENTS TO RUN FOR US CONGRESS:
OFFICE: U.S. REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS
MINIMUM AGE: 25 years (United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 2)
RESIDENCY: United States citizen for seven years. Inhabitant of Illinois at the time of
the election. (United States Constitution, Article I, Section 2)

I am not required to live in the 12th District. I am only required to be a resident of the State of Illinois--which I most assuredly am. I would not be on the BALLOT if I weren't eligible, Illinois wouldn't put me on the ballot if I weren't eligible to serve. I find it incomprehensible that the actual sitting Representative DOES NOT KNOW the rules--of course he's used to breaking the rules. Collecting almost 3 million in "donations" while running unopposed (and SPENDING 700 Thousand dollars running unopposed!!) certainly makes me wonder WHO IS JERRY WORKING FOR??
He gave $51,000.00 to Rod Blagojevich in 2006 while the FBI was investigating Blagojevich!!
Want to see who owns Ol' Jerry? www.opensecrets.org and check out his list of donors and donations. It's a who's who of every donor and liberal from here to Timbuktu!
