Former U.S. Prosecutor...Plea Deal For Jackson Jr., CBS2, Nov. 9, 2012. http://cbsloc.al/SShDhO Joe Lake, Chicago

Sad, very sad. People did not vote for the man, they voted for the party. The fact that people voted for an absentee politician, who has federal charges pending against him is embarrassing. It makes our area look downright stupid.

I was right. I told you the truth. I am worthy & ready to be the next congressman of the 2nd District. Fresh, honest and ready to give remedies for what ails our community.

It time for a fresh Change.

It's time for Marcus Lewis.

Just goes to show you how people are really stupid

Seems that Woodworth would have cleaned the Lewis clock if Jackson's voters were not counted. Wonder who will be the victor in a new election.

So you say, Republican. So South Chicago Democrats would vote for a Republican? What's the owner/Editor of City News making comments in another newspaper? What journalism school did you go to? Where are your ethics? Joe lake, Chicago

Joe Lake, if there is truly a Joe Lake, I have the right, just as much anyone to make comments here. I also think the voters of the District, both black, white and brown, will make a good decision on who to vote for should there be a new election in the 2nd District. I also don't think they will just rely on party or race to make their decision. I think many were loyal to Jesse Jr. because he was once a very responsible leader and because of the hard work for the community by his father, mother and rest of his family, and that includes my friend and wonderful woman, Sandy Jackson. You, Mr. Lake, need to stop the name calling and hiding behind this media as a way to use you cowardly insults without fear of having to defend what you say, face to face, or man to man - You sir, and I use the word, "Sir" as a kindness to one who continues to insult meand everyone else you disagree with but you seldom, if ever, offer up any real arguements to support you positions, if truly you have any position other than to try to make folks support Marcus Lewis. As for journalism school, I have both gone to school, as well as worked along side some pretty great journalists, people like Lu Palmer, poet Qween Brooks, John Johnson and others, what is your basis and background in journalism or anything else? I have received awards from a number of organizations, The NAACP Business Award, The Dr. KIng Foundation for Community Service, Kankakee School District for Leadership and many others. FYI

In addition, Mr. Lake, are you truly upset because I dare to comment on these pages or is your real problem that I dare suggest that Brian Woodworth would be a better candidate than Marcus Lewis. Mr. Woodworth after all has been able to bridge relationship with the African American community, he is a well qualified attorney and a Christian man a father and loyal husband and the man pays his bills! Were I you, I would pay close attention on the values of anyone I support for any office. Now, let me be quick to point out, that I am in no way suggesting that Marcus Lewis is not an honest man, a good Christian and I certainly won't dare say he does not pay his bills, because I don't know that he does not. I do know that Marus would be a better Congressman than Jesse Jr. if the charges against Jesse Jr. are proven, until then, I support Jr. and of the other candidates who ran for office in the 2nd, I support first, Brian Woodworth, then Lewis and then Anthony. Now, as my grandmother used to say, "Put that in your pipe and smoke it!"

"...if the charges against Jesse Jr. are proven...?" JJJr is will plead guilty to charges, there will be no trial to find him guilty. JJJr will go to jail, lose his House seat, etc. "Former U.S. Prosecutor... Plea Deal for Jackson Jr.," CBS2, Nov.9, 2012. http://cbsloc.al/SShDho I don't smoke. Joe Lake, Chicago

AS for Jr. what is the rush, time will tell. You don't smoke, well that is good. Maybe you and Jr. have more in common than I ever suspected.

No rush on my part. Check with the F.B.I. Joe lake, Chicago

One day people will realize that most politicians are not in it to serve. It's self gain and monetary reward. They don't give a damn about us. I didn't vote for Jessie Jackson Jr. and if he were the only person on the ticket I would have written my dogs name instead. How can a person who has no morals or integrity in his OWN house, have morals and integrity when it comes to the Congressional House? I wouldn't vote republican because they do not have the interest of the people at heart, only big business and the right to force their religious beliefs on others. Republicans think that non whites just want a handout and don't want to work. You have people of ALL races on welfare and last count, there were more WHITE WOMEN on welfare than any other race. When I go grocery shopping white women pull out a LINK card to pay, are they just too lazy to work? Or are they just on it temporarily because they are out of work? I'm a Democrat and don't want to see people abusing the system, I don't want illegals to get preferential treatment but they do, illegals don't even have to prove legal staus to get healthcare or enroll in school! But I don't want to see every social program eliminated which will cause more suffering on top of the current suffering by voting republican. Yeah yeah, smaller government right? Republicans want to get right into your womb and flip you off when you need help buying formula or help paying for healthcare for the baby they forced you to have. We're screwed.

its not a shock to me...

The people of his district re-elected someone who is just like them.

What a suprise.

Good Day 2nd District,

Let us "Do The Right Thing" for a Change for our circumstances to improve.

If you want positive change then support me in the soon coming 'Special Election' for the 2nd District Seat.

I will stand for you and your family. I will fight for your share of resources to help you get off our backs and on to our feet. The status quo doesn't care or love us at all.

As you just witnessed what they did when JJJ in 24 hours after the election betrayed 181,000 supporters in an instant. He and the status quo had this all planned months ago. Including Sandi Jackson knew the whole plan from the beginning.

Enough of the deceit, the constant lying and scheming on us. They want the seat and we want the seat. We must have it!

So now we all know and you have me as your champion for jobs, education grants and home foreclosures just to name a few.

Support my candidacy for this seat. Let's reclaim our right to life, liberty and the pursuit to happiness.

Get me on the ballot when the word of JJJ vacate the seat comes from the Gov.

We can & We must win this seat. We know the truth now.

Marcus Lewis

Well as for me I am not truly sure that the only person who can represent the 2nd District is a Democrat. I am considering another run for the post as when I look at the lack of accomplishments of the Democratic Party in Illinois I certain that the people want to improve their conditions. The black community in many of the towns in the district are some of the poorest in Illinois and most are represented by black Democrats. I as a Republican have demonstrated that I am able to relate to people of both parties. Over the years my efforts to improve the economic conditions in many of the black hamlets in the district demonstrate fully my desire to be open and fair minded, looking always to what is best for the people and not the party. Should I decide to take a second bite of the apple, I will promise that my campaign will focus on issues and not attacks on those who also seek he office.

The time is right now for my candidacy.

38,733 voters thought so and believed as I do.

Clearly, if you want real change to come to this blighted district run by crooks, thieves & sex addicts you MUST choose someone different...

And that person whether you like me or not is Marcus Lewis.

On Nov. 6th, 2012,

38,733 voters saw me as the right man for Congress.

Let's make it all the way on April 9th, 2013

VOTE FOR MARCUS LEWIS FOR CONGRESS

"IT'S TIME"

www.marcuslewisforcongress2012.org

If in fact there is another election in the 2nd District, I plan to seek that office as a Republican. I believe that none of those seeking the office have been able to fully address the important issues facing the district and that once the voters are presented with facts and not a series of insults against the other candidates, my being a Republican won't be a primary issue.

Hello 2nd District, and a special greeting to the 38,733 that voted for me,

I thank you.

The phrase for the day is: "GET SMART"

VOTE FOR MARCUS LEWIS FOR CONGRESS

APRIL 9TH, 2013
