This afternoon, Mark Kirk's U.S. Senate campaign pointed out to Illinois Review the following endorsement from Chicago Tea Party leader Catherina Wojtowicz.

Dear Patriots,

I have kept very silent about the U.S. Senate race because of the lack of conservative candidates.

This morning it was revealed that Libertarian candidate Mike Labno is being financed by Alexi Giannoulias.

For months, I had a very manic thought manner about this race.  Do I skip the vote?  Do I drink Kool Aid?  Do I vote for Mike Labno?

I know too well that write-in candidates stand no choice, and since Labno was running, he was a choice; however I still wasn't sold.

Now, I stand strong in stating, "I'm voting for Mark Kirk!"

I am sick and tired of standing on the side lines while the lunatic liberals steal our elections from our hands.

I am voting for Mark Kirk and respectfully ask you to do so, too!

Read here how Mike Labno's biggest supporter is Alexi Giannoulias!

In addition to this news report, this was confirmed to me by a long-time friend and democratic operative.

After issuing this statement on my Facebook, Mike Labno called me and threaten to throw a lawsuit on me.

To Mike Labno:

Bring. It. On.

The Chicago Machine is EVIL and I will not stand by while they steal yet another election!

Vote Kirk!
