Good friend of the blog, Joe Birkett, had a fund-raiser in Elmhurt, the heart of DuPage County.

LAW ENFORCEMENT POISED TO TURN OUT FOR JOE BIRKETT

WHEATON -- DuPage County State's Attorney Joe Birkett has gained the
endorsement of nearly every Republican State's Attorney, Sheriff and
Coroner in Illinois should he decide to run for Governor. Some of
the officials will be among those who attend a law enforcement
fundraiser for Birkett on Thursday, Oct. 27, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
at the Diplomat West banquet hall, 681 W. North Ave., Elmhurst.

The fundraiser is open to the press.

"In this climate of corruption, law enforcement officials across
Illinois understand that this state needs a leader who can restore
trust in government," Birkett said.
