I meant to blog this yesterday, but didn't quite get to it.  Matty O'Blackfive is running for office!!!  I'm so excited. 

I'm pretty sure I have no readers from the above district... but you never know. If you do live there, you will have a most outstanding candidate to vote for in the next election! Hit the banner to get to his campaign web site.



I am very proud to call Matt my friend and I'm not at all surprised he decided to get in the game and take on the entrenched politicians that inhabit the swampland called Illinois politics. (I hope he's had all his shots - he'll need them!)

Matt is one of the few people I've met who is up to this enormous challenge. It is not for the faint of heart or for those who do not have a clear vision and firm principles. If a person lacks any of the above, they will either be absorbed into the status quo or they will be trampled by the mob.

However Matt is one of those special people who gets things done. Not only that, but he gets them done right. Since the inception of Blackfive Matt has accomplished incredible things for our military many of which are not even listed on his campaign site.

He is well versed in current political affairs and articulate (something people have lately come to realize might be a good thing for those representing us in government). And best of all he has a terrific sense of humor, a trait sorely lacking in far too many people he will be up against.

If you can't vote for Matt because you don't live in his district, please consider a small donation to help him in his election bid. If a donation isn't possible (because times are tough and many people just can't) then stop by Blackfive and wish him well.

We need men like Matt representing us. Even if the representation isn't quite direct.
