Goddess Musings: I ♥ Christine Cegelis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) I think it’s an and astonishing example of what one person is capable of doing for the Party even after it threw her under the bus. After the primary, Christine Cegelis could have easily went and said “screw it” and walked away from politics, especially given the number of knives stuck in her back by the party leadership. Christine will be the first to point out that she was just one of many people helping in these races. www.veronicas.org /blog/2006/11/i-christine-cegelis.html   (425 words)

Cegelis bolsters team in bid for Hyde's seat A fter Democrat Christine Cegelis lost a congressional race to Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) in 2004 -- grabbing a surprising 44.2 percent of the vote in what turned out to be Hyde's last election -- she did not shut down her campaign. Cegelis has been running for the 6th Congressional District seat since she lost to Hyde in the 2004 contest she ran on a shoestring. Cegelis is putting together a strong, big-time campaign team, realizing she can't operate under the political radar as she did in 2004. www.suntimes.com /output/sweet/cst-edt-sweet11.html   (743 words)

AEGiS-Chicago Tribune: Debate centers on direction: Hyde touts his record; Cegelis trumpets newness Cegelis said the Bush administration has not done enough to secure nuclear and chemical plants and argued that rolling back the president's tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent could help fund further inspections of cargo containers coming into the nation's ports. Cegelis saved her sharpest barbs for her closing comments, saying that Hyde is not looking out for the working class in the changing district. Cegelis, 52, a divorced mother of two college-age sons, said she got into the race because she was worried the country was headed in the wrong direction. www.aegis.com /news/ct/2004/CT041010.html   (1018 words)

Welcome to Vote2004.eRiposte.Com! Cegelis is listed as an unchallenged candidate for the 41st Illinois Senate seat, a race in which state Sen. Christine Radogno is the only choice. Cegelis said she does not believe Hyde, who has been in Congress for 30 years, had anything to do with the error. Christine Cegelis, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Congress in the 6th District, expressed outrage Wednesday at the DuPage County Election Commission for putting her name in the wrong place in a voters guide that was sent out for inclusion in dozens of local newspapers. vote2004.eriposte.com /bluestates/illinois.htm   (1024 words)

PrairieStateBlue :: Cegelis Excitement Builds Yesterday PDA officially endorsed Cegelis, and the most helpful thing we can do right now is give to Cegelis generously and immediately to propel her to victory in the March primary. Christine can truly become "our candidate", one that as a Congresswoman will remember that it was the average American - people like us - who got her to Congress. When you have a person like Christine asking where will the jobs of our future come from, someone who had to struggle, who's worked, who knows what is means to make a budget work, knows what it's like to raise kids, start a business, you know she understands the issues. www.soapblox.net /chicago/showDiary.do?diaryId=919   (1021 words)

The Capitol Fax Blog » Cegelis takes ball, goes home Christine Cegelis will not endorse Tammy Duckworth, the winner in Illinois’s 6th Congressional District Democratic primary, because she has reservations about Duckworth’s positions on universal healthcare and free trade, a source close to Cegelis’s campaign said. Cegelis sure as heck knows that the story is out there, and she could refute it if she wanted to. Christine showed, through her deeds, that it is not enough to simply say that the country needs to change—it’s up to all of us to do something about it. thecapitolfaxblog.com /2006/03/29/cegelis-takes-ball-goes-home   (11440 words)

Christine Cegelis Got 44% Against Henry Hyde in '04; So Why is DCCC Head Rahm Emanuel Undermining Her '06 Campaign? Christine Cegelis Got 44% Against Henry Hyde in '04; So Why is DCCC Head Rahm Emanuel Undermining Her '06 Campaign? In the '04 election, his Democratic challenger, Christine Cegelis, commanded 44% of the vote, more than any challenger since his first run for Congress in 1974. In their effort to hang onto Hyde's seat, the GOP is pushing state Sen. Peter Roskam (R-Wheaton), a Tom Delay protege, who'll likely face the winner of the Democratic primary to be held in March. www.opednews.com /articles/opedne_andy_ost_051117_christine_cegelis_go.htm   (659 words)

About the Music of Cuba - worldmusic.cc   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Christine Cegelis is an IT consultant and was the 2004 Democratic candidate for the 6th Congressional district of Illinois. Her supporters claim that Cegelis' 2006 race was a grassroots effort working to overcome a campaign supported by "establishment" politicians and media. Cegelis' strong showing is seen as largely due to the increasingly diverse demographics of DuPage County. www.worldmusic.cc /en/music/latin_america/cuba/698.html?title=Christine_Cegelis   (189 words)

Osblog: another candidate in 6th CD Cegelis-friendly bloggers lose sight of the fact that Cegelis will out bankroll her opponents, that she has significantly higher name ID from her previous run and is in good with most of the activist types- basically losing track of the fact that she will win that primary. Cegelis has run once and lost to an extremely old man, and while I would be voting for her in that primary if I could in all likelihood- these other two deserve a fair airing. Lindy Scott, Peter O'Malley and Christine Cegelis and every candidate all have more guts behind their opinions than any blogger because they're putting their names on a ballot for their views to be judged by the public. osborne.blogspot.com /2005/07/another-candidate-in-6th-cd.html   (988 words)

We Need Christine Cegelis in Congress PDA's Chapter in Illinois' 6th District endorsed Cegelis, and PDA enthusiastically endorsed her as a key nation-wide candidate last month.

The Capitol Fax Blog » Cegelis poll I don’t understand the rush to pillory Cegelis and push her out stage right, when all she seems to be asking for is a little support (or, at least, not active undermining) from the DCCC and the chance to make good on the 44% she showed last year. Maybe Cegelis has a done a poll that shows she how she can win in the district, I don’t know, the Cegelis campaign hasn’t released one, suggesting they have not accomplished a very basic task for large race, doing a survery to determine the political landscape, and where your opponent might be vulnerable. And that Cegelis has been successful in the corporate sphere, especially during the 1980s when women regularly hit a glass ceiling very early in their careers, is not to be dismissed. thecapitolfaxblog.com /2005/12/20/cegelis-poll   (4083 words)

MyDD :: Progressive Democrats Endorse Cegelis The Cegelis campaign openly engages district residents displaying a command of the issues in an honest interaction with district residents. So Duckworth's endorsement is the result of political connections calling in favors and Cegelis' endorsement is the result of local members in the district voting for her. PDA supporters are urged to go all out to help Christine Cegelis, not only to elect an outstanding candidate, but also to show the Beltway Democrats that their effort to block progressives within the party won't be tolerated. www.mydd.com /story/2006/1/13/17482/1697   (1393 words)

OAK CLIFF 4 DEAN - Those who believe in what is right, not just what is popular.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) When Congressman Hyde agreed to debate Christine Cegelis, he made sure that certain conditions were met. Cegelis pointed out that our failed healthcare system is a drag on businesses and that fixing it would give employers some relief. Cegelis noted that we can't kill all the terrorists and that as awesome as our "hard power" in the world is, it needs to be coupled with "soft power" which would allow us to strengthen alliances, work cooperatively, and lead with integrity. oakcliff.fordean.net /index.php   (587 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Christine Cegelis, Hyde’s opponent, is listed as a candidate for a different office. Thus, if an employee of the DuPage County Elections Commission intentionally removed Christine Cegelis from the notice of election, s/he then by deception or forgery knowingly prevented some readers of the notice of election from supporting the election of Christine Cegelis, and that employee is guilty of a Class 4 felony.

Cegelis Demands Explanation of Hyde European Junket Cegelis agrees with members of Hyde’s own Republican Party that there is a danger of misspending official money by adding excessive office staff, especially the in district staff, and tarnishing the entire codel system, in which the military organizes foreign travel to facilitate Congress’s constitutional oversight and advisory duties. Christine Cegelis is a practical progressive who believes that a robust and safe tomorrow comes from thrift, fresh ideas and smart thinking today. Cegelis graduated from Florida State University in 1976 and is a former union communications worker. www.prweb.com /releases/2004/5/prwebxml125948.php   (603 words)

Chicagoist: Cegelis and Duckworth Kick it up a Notch As we mentioned a while back, Democrat Christine Cegelis was expected to be the frontrunner as she performed admirably against Hyde a couple years ago. I support Cegelis as a candidate who is in touch with the community and who if elected will owe her seat to the residents of the district, not to Emanuel and the Chicago political machine. Christine knows the district, she knows the issues, and she is a fighter. www.chicagoist.com /archives/2006/02/27/cegelis_and_duckworth_kick_it_up_a_notch.php   (1085 words)

Damn Liberals: A Conversation with Christine Yesterday, I posted some of the prepared remarks from Christine Cegelis' Arbor Day event I attended at the Morton Arboretum at the south end of IL-06. Cegelis volunteers canvassed every weekend for her, and took along not only Cegelis literature, but literature for every other Democratic candidate running for office in the specific neighborhoods they canvassed. Arrangements were made for Christine to show up at the event, and this volunteer was given her cell phone number so she could contact Christine should there be any changes related to the event. damnliberals.blogspot.com /2005/05/conversation-with-christine.html   (791 words)

Henry Hyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As the current chairman of the House International Relations Committee, of which he has been a member since 1982, Hyde was involved in debates concerning the War Powers Act, NATO expansion, the investigation of the Iran-Contra affair, and, most recently, sponsorship of a bill to reduce U.S. funding to the United Nations. Over the years Hyde's DuPage County district began to shift in demographics, leading his 2004 Democratic challenge Christine Cegelis to garner over 44% of the vote, the highest total of any of Hyde's opponents. Due to Hyde's age and Phil Crane's defeat in 2004 at the hands of Melissa Bean after she had done surprisingly well in 2002, intense speculation ensued that Hyde would retire. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Henry_Hyde   (669 words)

PrairieStateBlue :: Driving Christine: Part I One of the events that originally got me involved with the Cegelis campaign was a neighbor who distributed signs for her campaign last election. The difference for Cegelis is that these coffees are started by people who've often met Christine - many times at another coffee - and invite their neighbors to their home to introduce Christine to them. When it became apparent that Christine was not just rattling off talking points, but actually looking to discuss the issues, often citing her positions or her feelings or her personal connections, people began to open up. www.soapblox.net /chicago/showDiary.do?diaryId=979   (779 words)

Lynn Sweet: Cegelis: Former rival endorses Duckworth for 6th CD House seat.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Cegelis and I talked Thursday night over the phone about the west suburban 6th Congressional District election to replace Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), whose decision not to run for another term creates a rare open seat. I phoned Cegelis to close a loop because she never used the magic word "endorse" in a letter she sent supporters after her March 21 defeat, in which Duckworth narrowly beat her with 44 percent of the vote to 41 percent for Cegelis and 16 percent for Wheaton College professor Lindy Scott. Cegelis said she is returning to her job at a software company and will be traveling to Florida to tend to her ill mother. blogs.suntimes.com /sweet/2006/04/cegelis_former_rival_endorses.html   (1397 words)

Appeal To PDA Activists: Defend Progressive Front-Runner Against Beltway Betrayal - Progressive Democrats of America Yesterday PDA officially endorsed Cegelis, and the most helpful thing we can do right now is give to Cegelis generously and immediately to propel her to victory in the March primary. Behind the scenes, the Beltway bosses have put every obstacle in front of Cegelis: they have pressured people listed as her contributors, they have called her volunteers to plant rumors about her candidacy, and they have turned the Party establishment, which had endorsed her in 2004, away from her. PDA supporters are urged to go all out to help Christine Cegelis, not only to elect an outstanding candidate, but also to show the Beltway Democrats that their effort to block progressives within the party won't be tolerated. pdamerica.org /articles/campaigns/cegelis-email.php   (691 words)

Medill News Service : Chicago - Republican Congressmen threatened by politically inexperienced Bean, Cegelis While Cegelis spoke about what she wants to change in Washington, Hyde stressed his years of service and accomplishments, citing his military service and legislation he has sponsored, including funding to curtail AIDS in Africa, and most recently, working on a Homeland Security bill. Cegelis said that the United States is not secure, citing that many nuclear and chemical plants, as well as our nation’s ports, are not protected. And, as Cegelis is the most serious contender Hyde has had in years, he recognizes the 6th District is not a given. mesh.medill.northwestern.edu /mnschicago/archives/2004/10/republican_cong.html   (1465 words)

Caro's Commentaries 11/12/05 - Have you no sense of loyalty, DCCC? A couple of months ago, I posted and sent to my mailing lists some information about Christine, including the fact that the DCCC was trying to recruit a millionaire for her district, the Illinois 6th. Christine’s success against Hyde may have played a large part in his decision to retire. Democrats are urgently seeking an alternative candidate to Christine Cegelis (D) in Illinois’s 6th District, as worries mount that Cegelis doesn’t have the money to beat state Sen.
