| [21 Sep 09] :: For Immediate Release! Rich Whitney and Matt Reichel Join Forces for Fundraiser |
| For Immediate Release! Rich Whitney and Matt Reichel Join Forces for Fundraiser, Campaign Launch Event Green Party gubernatorial candidate, Rich Whitney, will team up with the Green candidate for congress in Illinois's 5th congressional district, Matt Reichel, for a fundraiser the evening of Wednesday, September 30th. This event will conclude Reichel's Money Bomb, wherein he has been asking supporters to pledge to donate online on the final day of the third accounting period. If the campaign surpasses $5,000, Reichel will be required to file with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). On the prospects of these two campaigns, Reichel says: “Rich Whitney put the Greens on the scene here in Illinois with his tremendous showing in the 2006 gubernatorial race, while I surpassed all expectations in scoring an impressive 7% of the vote in a district that has traditionally elected conservative machine Democrats. It is clear that the forces of change are behind us, and we are headed for historic election results here in Illinois next November.” The event will begin at 7:00 pm at the Globe Pub, 1934 W. Irving Park in Chicago. At 8:00pm, both candidates will address supporters. Entertainment will be provided by the Maybenauts, DJ Shami Sosa and others. ############################################## |
