November 3, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) — Republican Jim Ryan will officially announce his run for governor Tuesday in Springfield.
His aides filed petitions in the state capitol yesterday, allowing his name to appear on the Republican primary ballot in February.
Ryan last ran for governor in 2002 and lost to former Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Unfortunately Ryan is pro stem cell research and a number of things that don’t agree with conservative values and ideology. Take a look at this list at a website entitled Dump Jim Ryan-
1. Ryan is against the right of the citizen’s he represents to carry concealed weapons despite training and background checks. This despite the fact that 44 states including Indiana trust their citizens to defend themselves and family by carrying concealed weapons.
2. Ryan thinks it’s okay to entrap gun owners at gun shows using undercover officers to trick gun owners into technical violations of gun law.
3. Ryan took $800,000 from the Fed’s to fund Internet and Gun Show gun stings against law abiding gun owners.
4. Ryan supported, and indeed mandated, that the carrying of a gun for self-defense in Illinois be a Class IV felony for ALL FOID card holders.
5. Ryan thinks Gun Owners make convenient vote getting pawns for his “tough on crime” image.
6. Ryan would have an easier time getting his anti-gun owner agenda through than Blagojevich. “No-Rod’s” Blagojevich is well known to be a gun hating kook while Ryan pretends to be Mr. Law and Order.
7. Ryan has only targeted otherwise law abiding gun owners in his sting operations, never gang bangers. Why?
8. Even the BATF is mad at Jim Ryan. How screwed up do you have to be to do that?
9. Ryan is just another RINO (Republican In Name Only)
10. GOP loyalty has it’s limits and there is another option. By dumping Ryan you send a powerful message to the Illinois GOP Machine.

Although Joe Birkett dropped his bid for State Attorney General saying that the fight against Madigan would be unwinnable, there is more information at that site about Jim Ryan in connection to Joe Birkett that is worth reading and absorbing.
The information there may be old, but it is still relevant.
If any of Jim Ryan’s people are reading this, I would be more than happy to put up a response from the Ryan campaign.
Weary of these RINOs — Kirk and Ryan should drop out — I am
not the only one who mistrusts crooked politicians who do not want to uphold the Bill of Rights. If he opposes concealed carry etc., then he will surely oppose Freedom of Speech ….
He was an embarrassment before and should not be given another chance to help the enemies of this nation.
Seems the RNC in Illinois cannot free itself — we need no more of that
“Combine” to enable the socialists here. We need statesmen who will oppose the non-loyal (Q uisling) opposition, not join them!
