Wallace Withdraws

As candidate for U.S. Senate in Illinois. I am sorry to see it. I am sure we will see more of this fine person:

(Chicago, IL) Eric Wallace, conservative candidate for Il U.S Senate, formally announces today (Monday, November 2, 2009) that despite meeting minimum signature requirements he will not, at this time, seek his party’s (R) nomination. Wallace states, “While the goal continues to be the coalescing of our efforts behind a candidate committed to upholding conservative values—I have decided that it is in the best interest of the conservative movement that I not run at this time. The most important issue here is not my candidacy, but that the conservative principles and values that our campaign has been espousing across the state continue to gain momentum; and that we find a person to consolidate around who will champion this cause.

I would like to thank the countless number of volunteers, friends and patriotic Illinoisans who have come out in support of the message of limited government, individual freedom and responsibility, free enterprise and traditional family values (L.I.F.T principles). It is people like these who give me hope for the future of our state and federal governments. It is also because of these same volunteers, friends and patriots that this decision has been so difficult.

Over the next several months, I plan to continue to be involved in the movement by speaking, writing and publishing, calling on people of this great state (and our nation) to “stand for what we say we believe” (Freedom’s Journal Magazine). The current political environment demonstrated in New York’s 23rd district and the Commonwealth of Virginia’s gubernatorial race testify to the fact that the conservative movement is like an unstoppable force that will not be denied—and I’m proud to be apart of it.

I look forward to working with those who share the same ideological perspective, regardless of political affiliation, with the hopes that we can preserve our great country and restore her freedoms”.

Sincerely,

Eric Wallace
