I smell a rat: David Ratowitz's petition problems

I smell a rat: David Ratowitz’s petition problems

By Cao on 11/29/2009

From David Orr’s website comes information about David Ratowitz’s next hearing, which is on December 4th, and the Objections document, dated November 9, 2009. It appears David’s petitions weren’t “executed in the form and manner required by law” on a number of different levels. With the Chicago GOP’s complaints “Audit the Fed!” you’d think their own members would have done their due diligence and “audited” those petition signatures. Particularly since Ratowitz billed himself as specializing in “Elections” on one of the business cards he is now backpedaling from; you’d think he’d have known better.

Rosanna Pulido Fires Back At David Ratowitz’s Immigration Proposals

By Cao on 11/17/2009

Rosanna Pulido: First off, let’s remember how immigration lawyers make their living. When you take it under consideration that David Ratowitz is an immigration lawyer, it’s no wonder that David wants even higher levels of legal immigration and would support legalization of the 12-20 million already here.
Actually, what this government needs to do at this [...]

Ratowitz Campaign Puts Out His Immigration Policy Suggestions

By Cao on 11/17/2009

Cao’s Note: Yes, we deserve the truth – but can we believe David Ratowitz who told Rosanna Pulido before she was his political opponent that she is “wrong” on immigration and had “immigration” on his business card? Which version are we to believe? We need to ask questions of our candidates [...]

Dan Ferreri outs himself as David Ratowitz's campaign manager

Dan Ferreri outs himself as David Ratowitz’s campaign manager

By Cao on 11/13/2009

Wow, this happened right here in comments; this is quite a revelation although inadvertent, I’m sure, on Ferreri’s part.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire as they say: Dan Ferreri serves in Campaign Operations (so says his business card) for the Chicago Republican Party. Ferreri says he is Co-Chair of the Campaign Operations Committee and that [...]

DAVID RATOWITZ DEFENDS NOMINATING PETITION VERACITY, CALLS FOR BILATERAL OBJECTION WITHDRAWAL

By Cao on 11/11/2009

“Months of hard work by dedicated Ratowitz for Congress volunteers produced more than double the required signatures for February 2010 Primary ballot access. Confident that those signatures were obtained in a legal and honest manner, we are disheartened by the anonymous challenge to our nominating petitions initiated against our campaign earlier this week. Unfortunately, in the face of this apparent attempt to limit voter choice, tax our resources and rig the playing field, our campaign has been forced to issue counter objections against both of our opponents,” said Ratowitz in a press release.
