On January 28, Andrew Breitbart's website BigGovernment.com ran a column from Illinois gubernatorial candidate Adam Andrzejewski and hosted a campaign ad. In the column, Andrzejewski also solicits participants for a commemorative Tea Party rally to be held in Chicago. Andrzejewski wrote:
It all started in Chicago. Rick Santelli's call to arms was broadcast from Chicago. The first Tea Party was last year on a cold day in February. I heard you. We need a new generation of leaders that will serve the people, not the political class. My campaign for Governor started because I heard you and I still hear you.
The Tea Party movement is now a year old and what better place to celebrate the movement than in Chicago. We will be at the Dierksen Federal Building plaza at 2:30pm having a rally in honor of the movement and to celebrate all that we've accomplished.
[...]
This is what happens when a state is in the grip of one-party rule, run by an ideology that the entire nation is now calling the “Chicago Way.”
That's the bad news. Here is the good news. It's a new day in Illinois. All across the state, citizens are building the grassroots army that will bring Illinois back from the brink. They are getting activated, informed, and mobilized. I want to help them by offering them a real choice - not an establishment echo - for Governor. That 'echo' is exacting what I'm running against.
I'm Adam Andrzejewski, and I'm running for Governor of Illinois.
