As-salaamu alaikum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakaatuhu - Peace be unto you and the mercy of God and His blessings.

Thank you very much for hosting me at your beautiful services on this Jumu’ah day

Joel Pollak is running against Dem Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the Illinois 9th Congressional District. At last report, Schakowsky was polling under 50%.

This is one reason why.

Educated as a human rights lawyer at Harvard Law, a Democrat turned Republican, the student who politely challenged Barney Frank on the housing bust, Joel Pollak is a remarkable and admirable young man.
