Alexi's Ethics Deficit

This is the choice for his campaign ad? Ethics?

I can understand the delusional appeal to partisans at a fundraiser but to the public?

Mmm hmm. Why is Alexi Giannoulias running? A reminder:
  • How much did Alexi receive from special interests and Political Action Committees?

    • While Alexi claims to reject “corporate PAC contributions,” he openly accepts every other special interest’s PAC contribution.
    • Alexi accepts contributions from union PACs.
    • Alexi accepts contributions from the trial lawyers and their PACs.
    • Alexi accepts contributions from Democratic Party and House/Senate campaigns and leadership PACs.

  • How much did Alexi receive from state lobbyists?
    • While Alexi claims to reject federal lobbyist contributions, he openly accepts state lobbyist contributions.
    • Alexi even accepts contributions from state lobbyists with business before the State Treasure’s office.
Here's another unanswered question--they keep surfacing.

The DSCC is withdrawing its cash support

Illinoisans should cross Alexi Giannoulias off their list as well.

He has an ethics deficit. And he'll do nothing in DC to turn the state around.
