Chicago, IL - The newly formed Committee Against Political Repression will hold an emergency rally at 4:30 pm on Monday, Sept. 27, at Chicago FBI headquaters, 2111 W. Roosevelt. A wide array of community and peace activists will speak out against a series of FBI raids that took place on Friday, September 24 in Chicago and around the US targeting anti-war activists and solidarity activists in at least three states, including three activists in Chicago.
 
The FBI handed subpoenas to testify before a federal grand jury to about a dozen activists in Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan on Friday, searching the homes of most of these activists. They also attempted to intimidate activists in California and North Carolina.
Activists will assemble to send a strong message that these raids will not keep the movement silent, that they stand in solidarity with those targeted by this outrageous breach of basic rights, and that they are committed to building the movement to resist oppression in all its forms at home and abroad. Similar rallies are to be held in at least 20 cities throughout the US in the coming days, including Minneapolis, Chicago, Kalamazoo, MI, Salt Lake City, Durham, NC, Buffalo, NY, Gainesville, FL, New York City, Newark, NJ, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, Detroit, Raleigh, NC, Asheville, NC, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Tucson, and Albany, New York..

Kirk Campaign statement on negative Illinois Bond Rating outlook from Moody’s

Posted by PMac On September - 27 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

 

 Northbrook, IL. – The Kirk for Senate campaign today released a statement regarding last week’s decision by Moody’s Investors Service to downgrade Illinois ’ credit rating to a negative outlook.

 

“From Springfield to Washington , we need to elect fiscal conservatives who will cut spending, get our debt under control and turn our economy around,” Kirk spokesperson Kirsten Kukowski said.  “Last week’s credit warning by Moody’s Investors Service should be a major wake-up call to the citizens of Illinois that we need to change direction in November.  As our state’s treasurer, Alexi Giannoulias is akin to the first mate on the Titanic.  The last thing he deserves now is a promotion.”

 

Last week, Moody’s downgraded Illinois bonds from A1 with a stable outlook to A1 with a negative outlook.  In June, Moody’s lowered the state’s rating to A1 from Aa3 with a negative outlook.
