THE CHOICE IS CLEAR:

Conservative Patrick Hughes is running to defeat Cap & Trade RINO, Mark Kirk.

Patrick is closing hard but he needs help from across the country. We can send another shockwave across the land. We need to defeat Nancy Pelosi's favorite RINO, Mark Kirk!

Mark Kirk has ignored the voters of Illinois by refusing to attend candidate forums and debates. He has turned his back to the voters of this state and now it is time for us to kick Kirk to the curb.

How Pat Compares To Mark Kirk

Patrick Hughes opposes Cap and Trade

It will be the largest tax increase in American History - and the largest transfer of power to the federal government since the New Deal. Mark Kirk was one of 8 Republicans who voted for it.(http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll477.xml)

Patrick Hughes does not support the expansion of government or increased regulation

Mark Kirk’s vote for Cap and Trade legislation supports an increase of government regulation in the lives of American families. His near decisive vote on the Cap and Trade bill also helped Democrats gain the legislative cover needed to pass the health care bill which, if put into law, would be a massive expansion of the federal government.

Patrick Hughes supports America’s progress towards energy independence

Mark Kirk opposes using America’s resources to gain energy independence. He voted for prohibiting oil drilling and development in ANWR. (http://www.ontheissues.org/HouseVote/Party_2001-317.htm)

Patrick Hughes believes in “Peace through Strength”; a strong national defense

Mark Kirk says he does too, but when the political going got tough, he was one of a handful of Republicans who voted against the surge, which was one of the single biggest turning points in the Iraq War. (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll099.xml)

Patrick Hughes supports the 2nd Amendment and the individual right to bear arms

Mark Kirk gets an F rating from the NRA (http://www.nraila.org) and an F- from Gun Owners of America (http://gunowners.org/111hrat.htm). He does, however, get very high marks from groups advocating more gun control and bans.

Patrick Hughes is pro-life. He has always stood up for the rights of the unborn

Mark Kirk is adamantly pro-abortion. He even voted against the ban on the hideous practice of partial-birth abortion (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2003/roll242.xml). He gets a 100% rating from both Planned Parenthood and NARAL. He is in the top tier of pro-abortion Republicans in Congress.
