A Politically Correct Christmas...

For Our Liberal Friends: Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to observe religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2012, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures.

For Our Republican Friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and may God bless you and yours in 2012.

This time of the year is about change; it's about the future. We look at the New Years celebration as a change of the year and look forward to all of the exciting things to come that year. But Christmas is also about a change - it's about a change in the World for the rest of the future, not just a year. When Jesus Christ was born in a manger, it signified a change; it was the start of a beautiful future full of possibilities that last much longer than a year, but an eternity.

So, this holiday season, don't just look to 2012, but look to the rest of the future. And the future is bright. In this Christmas and Holiday Season, let's work to change the future and change the World. And we as Republicans, can do just that if we stay focused, stay energized, stay loyal, and remain the best party on Campus. Look to the future, my friends. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Jeffrey Isbell to Announce Campaign for Commissioner

Dear Friends,

It is with great excitement and sense of responsibility that I explore a run for Williamson County Commission representing this county's 66,000+ citizens. There is a fundraising drive happening RIGHT NOW with a goal to raise $1,000 by the end of the weekend.

Would you consider visiting my website at www.jeffreyisbell.com and click "DONATE NOW"? I'd consider it a personal favor.  You currently have a huge opportunity to DOUBLE your donation; all donations received by 11:59pm on Sunday night will be doubled(up to $500) by a generous contributor. The website takes Checks, Debit Cards, and Credit Cards.

For as long as I can remember, I've committed myself to helping other people. My grandfather lived a life of sacrifice, like most in his generation. He served his country ably in the Army during the Korean War, he was a retired civil service employee, was a fighter until the day he died, and most importantly was a Christian. He taught me about sacrifice and standing for what is right. Visit my campaign website by clicking here.

I've lived in Southern Illinois my entire life and am proud to call this my home, however, my home could use a little work. We need more transparency and accountability in our government, we must create a business friendly environment to lure large companies to our county, and we have to keep our spending in check and look at ways to reduce the tax burden on our residents.

The task before us is great and will require your support. As we launch our campaign, consider volunteering and/or donating. I look forward to seeing you as we journey together to make Southern Illinois the greatest it can be. Once again, visit my website and contribute!

Yours in Service,
Jeffrey Isbell

Southern Illinois native plays large role in Bachmann Victory

 

July 1, 2011 - On Saturday, August 13, over 45 buses filled with over 1200 people from across the state rolled into Ames, Iowa to support Congressman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) in the Ames Straw Poll. The transportation director for the Bachmann for President Campaign in Iowa was 24 year old, Southern Illinois native Jeffrey Isbell from Herrin.

 

"I want to thank the people of Iowa for this tremendous victory. Together we sent a message that we intend to make President Obama a one term president. The Iowa Straw Poll was a important first step in what will be a long race for the presidency. Now we turn our attention toward winning the Iowa Caucuses and taking our message of reining in wasteful spending, keeping taxes low, growing our economy and creating jobs to the people of New Hampshire, South Carolina and all 50 states."

 

"When I received the call from the campaign asking me to come on board, I was there the next day because I believe in Congressman Bachmann and what she stands for. Victory is certainly a sweet thing after long days and hard work, but there is a long road ahead and I look forward to being a part of that process throughout the nation as the campaign moves forward."

 

Congressman Bachmann received over 4800 votes at the Ames Straw Poll solidifying her spot on the presidential ticket and as a leading candidate. Of those 4800 votes, nearly 25% were brought in on buses coordinated by the transportation division of the campaign.

 

"I am honored to work on the Presidential campaign for Congressman Michele Bachmann, especially as my first presidential campaign. I've had the opportunity to work on political campaigns throughout the nation, but nothing as exciting and life-changing as this."
