Thank You for Your Trust and Confidence
With the primary behind us, I want to thank all of the 16th district voters and taxpayers, as well as all Cook County taxpayers who have stood behind us, encouraged us, donated to us and prayed for us.
The voters understood that this is not about any of us individually. It is about doing the right thing in a one-party county and state, protecting the taxpayers and those who are without voice or representation, and providing leadership where none exists.
I pledge to you on my solemn honor, that I will continue the fight for smaller government, lower taxes and elimination of corruption in Cook County until my last breath.
We must educate new generation of young leadership, forge strong alliances with African-American and Latino voters, and run on the principles that make GOP Party and our nation great: God, Country, Family and Individual Responsibility.
We have a great opportunity before us in 2010 to restore a functioning two-party democracy in this corrupt state, county and city.
It is up to us.
We must close our ranks, stand behind our party nominees, and, with clear vision and purpose, engage the other side like they have never been engaged before.
Now is the time.
Will you stand with us and join us in this battle? Will you commit yourself to personally work, contribute, organize and support your local, state and federal candidates.
This is the place.
The whole country and the world is looking at Illinois and waiting for us to send the signal for the rest of the nation. This is the heart of America. We are common-sense Midwesterners who know pretenders when we see them.
Do it.
Not for yourself, but for future generations who are going to look on this time and say: “How we wish we were there to share that moment in history with them.”

Dominick Wants to ‘Smash’ Peraica
All you need to know about this video is this: if Cicero Village President Larry Dominick wants to “smash” Tony Peraica — it’s because Peraica is on the side of the taxpayers. Read more about Mr. Dominick here, here and here.
Yes, Tony supported Dominick’s first campaign back in 2005 because Dominick ran as a reformer, but has turned out to be just another Cook County political insider. Tony chose to stand with the taxpayers instead of the Cicero Mayor. Simple as that.

The Last Line of Defense Against the Tax Hikers
Filed under: Campaign News, Reform, Taxes, Todd Stroger
It’s no secret that some of the other Republican commissioners on the county board get annoyed by Tony Peraica.
He calls it like it is — whether you are a Republican or a Democrat — and they don’t like that.
He puts the good of the Cook County taxpayers above the good of the party, and they don’t like that.
He is the only county commissioner who has been consistent in his support for tax relief, fighting hundreds of millions in new borrowing and utilizing county board meetings to shine sunlight on no-bid contracts and waste.
They don’t like any of that.
So they passed an ordinance aimed directly aimed at preventing Tony from running for both his commissioner’s seat and county board president. Not only would it slap down Tony — they thought — it would also help their liberal Democrat-turned-”Republican” Paul Vallas coast through a primary election.
So, the Republicans in Cook County tried to silence their biggest champion of reform and tax relief in favor of a liberal Democrat?
You bet.
Now, as Kristen McQueary writes this morning, Tony’s fellow commissioners are realizing that their plan backfired.
Paul Vallas decided not to run. And none of the commissioners are now allowed, by law, to run for both their commissioner’s seat and the county board president post.
It should be noted that Peraica himself supported the above ordinance. Because, what they don’t realize is that Tony’s actions on the county board aren’t driven by his desire for hire office. His actions are driven by his desire to be a good commissioner who serves his constituents and actually reforms the county.
Yes, he has run for higher office — but his campaigns have been based on the same message of honest reform that he has carried as a commissioner. The goal has always been to reform Cook County.
Tony is now focused on running for re-election to his commissioner’s seat — and the Republicans’ actions have unknowlingly made his re-election campaign as important as any countywide race in Cook County.
How?
Simple: Forrest Claypool is retiring. Mike Quigley moved on to Congress. Both of those individuals were two of Tony’s most consistent tax relief teammates on the board.
Larry Suffredin — who also votes for tax relief at least some of the time (although he did vote for the massive Stroger sales tax hike) is probably running for county board president, which means he’ll have to resign from the board.
That leaves Tony as the last line of defense against the tax hike coalition on the board.
And that means his 16th District race is as important for taxpayers in Orland Park and Park Ridge as it is for those in Brookfield and Westchester.
They tried to silence Tony Peraica, but have instead made his campaign more important than ever.
