An email from Tammy Ducksworth: William, This week, our opponent was a featured speaker at the Illinois Tea Party tax day rally, alongside Joe Walsh and the Illinois state director for the Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity. After he finished speaking, the rally’s M.C. said, “I’m sure many of you remember Walsh vs. Duckworth. It’s going to be just as ugly this time.” Make no mistake — the Koch brothers and the other shady right-wing Super PACs who spent $6 million backing Joe Walsh last cycle are coming after us again. They’re gearing up for another expensive, vicious campaign and we have to be prepared. At the rally, our opponent made clear that, like fellow attendee Joe Walsh, he’s running to be a poster child for the Tea Party’s radical agenda. When talking about the size of the federal government, he said, “You can get rid of half of it and not miss a beat.” In short, he’s just the kind of right-wing extremist our old Super PAC foes would love to see in Congress. The right-wing money machine is ramping up for November and they’re going to make this a tough race. But with supporters like you on our side, I know we can beat them again. Thanks for standing with us, Paul Kohnstamm Campaign Manager, Duckworth for Congress
