Personal PAC Legislative Questionnaire

In 1990, Personal PAC’s goal was to take pro-life leader State Rep. Penny Pullen out of the General Assembly. The budding power broker failed in an Illinois Supreme Court recount decision that echoed during 2002 in Florida, but succeeded the second time around in 1992.

In 1996, 1998 and 2000 primaries and the 1998 general, Personal PAC targeted me for extinction. The fourth time was their charm. (Ironically, their choice, Rosemary Kurtz, was replaced in 2004 with pro-lifer Mike Tryon.)

In 2004, State Rep. Bob Churchill had a bulls eye painted on his back. He rebuffed the primary and general election challenges and is now running for the GOP nomination for Congress in the 8th district.

My guess is that defeating State Rep. Terry Parke is Personal PAC’s goal in 2006.

Read the Personal PAC questionnaire (click twice on image to enlarge enough to read) , which is due today, plus a five-part analysis starting today on McHenry County Blog. Here is part 2, part 3, Part 4 and Part 5.

Unfortunately, the Personal PAC candidate questionnaire could not be read from the link that was provided, as the image left the wording far too small to make out distinctly.

However, I am amazed that any organization would try to set such an early deadline (just eight days after the filing deadline) for questionnaires to be filled out and returned. Irregardless of one's views of the questions being posed, setting such a short deadline, particularly during the holiday season (when timely mail delivery may be subject to question) is just asking for a world of problems.

(For the record, the Illinois Committee for Honest Government decided to get away from a formal candidate questionnaire over a decade ago. There were just too many problems with questionnaires reaching the candidates late, and with candidates not responding simply because they were overwhelmed with a multitude of forms to fill out from various organizations.)

Also regardless and irrespective of one's views.
