http://www.chicagobusiness.com/cgi-bin/news.pl?id=30102
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal investigators also have looked into an $800,000 fee Bear Stearns paid to Republican power broker Robert Kjellander for helping the firm land an underwriting contract for the state’s $10- billion pension obligation bond in 2003. Neither Bear Stearns nor Mr. Kjellander has been charged with any wrongdoing. Nevertheless, some state officials criticized Bear Stearns’ selection for the auction of the long-dormant 10th casino license. The Gaming Board revoked the license in 2005 after state Attorney General Lisa Madigan blocked a $518-million deal to sell it to Mississippi-based Isle of Capri for a Rosemont casino because of alleged organized crime influences in the northwest suburb. About J. P. Morgan’s decision to withdraw from the contract, state Sen. Jeffrey Schoenberg, D-Evanston, said, “It’s probably the best outcome we could have hoped for.”)

LOS ANGELES TIMES & CHICAGO SUN-TIMES & COURIER NEWS & CHICAGO TRIBUNE & USA TODAY & CBS2 & ASSOCIATED PRESS
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: It is beyond outrageous that people who came into America illegally, who stay in America illegally, or who claim to speak for the illegals have any say whatsoever as to who America's next President should be. By sending millions and millions of its citizens into America illegally, Mexico has constructively declared war on America. Outrageously, Democrats and RINOs argue that America has no choice but to surrender to Mexico with amnesty or a "pathway to citizenship" otherwise known as amnesty. What will they say if/when China decides to send billions and billions of its citizens into America illegally? If/when China invades America, what would the Chinese do with the Mexicans in America?
