Lech Walesa Rallies Tea Party Crowd
for Adam Andrzejewski in Chicago

Posted on Comments

With the Republican primary Tuesday, the final push is on in Illinois:

In the final days before the Illinois primary, Former President of Poland Lech Walesa came to Chicago to support Adam Andrzejewski as the GOP candidate for Governor.
“As you see I support Adam . . . I am convinced that he is right. But we live in times that people do not always listen to those that are right,” said Walesa speaking through a translator.

The Chicago ABC affiliate reports:

Despite the frigid weather, the Tea Partiers and other self-described “true” conservatives made their way to Federal Plaza Friday afternoon. There, they welcomed their newest hero, Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Andrzejewski.
“New ideas are required by new people. Real reform requires a new generation of leadership,” said Andrzejewski.
Andrzejewski, a Hinsdale businessman who made millions selling telephone books, vows not to raise taxes and to cut, cut, cut spending, as he says. His rhetoric has resonated with the Republican right.
“We need more people to step up to the plate for hard-working Americans who have the morals and can go in and get our country back,” said Kathy Hurst, Tea Party member.

Andrew Marcus of Founding Bloggers was on the scene and has photos. The person who recorded this video says, “I apologize for the shaky video. It was about 7 degrees and that’s me shivering.”

By the way, remember the Wednesday money-bomb that was supposed to raise $24,000? I’m told it raised $35,000. Congratulations!
