FOBlago: Schakowsky and Alexi

Illinois GOP:

Illinois Republican Party Announces Newest Additions to FriendsofBlago.com

Blagojevich Democrats Jan Schakowsky and Alexi Giannoulias

The Illinois Republican Party today announced that Jan Schakowsky, Representative from the Ninth District of Illinois, and Alexi Giannoulias, Rod Blagojevich's State Treasurer, are the latest addition to the Blagojevich web on FriendsofBlago.com.

Jan Schakowsky’s sin is not only that she stood silently with her fellow Democrats as Rod Blagojevich put the State of Illinois up for sale. She endorsed Blagojevich over his reformer opponent, Edwin Eisendrath, in the 2006 Democratic primary. She also donated $30,000 to Blagojevich’s election campaigns and helped to raise more.

Alexi Giannoulias has close ties to convicted Blagojevich fundraiser Tony Rezko. Giannoulias provided financing for a Rezko real estate deal and Rezko convinced Governor Blagojevich to appoint Giannoulias' brother, Demetris Giannoulias, to a state board.

“Jan Schakowsky and Alexi Giannoulias cannot escape their close ties to Governor Blagojevich” said IL GOP Chairman Andy McKenna “Their willingness to work with and support the Governor and his cronies make them poster children for Blagojevich Democrats.”

The Illinois Republican Party will regularly announce new additions to FriendsofBlago.com. FriendsofBlago.com, serves as a tool to inform voters of the web of connections all Democrats have to Rod Blagojevich.
