"On this historic day, I
am pleased to join many Illinoisans who are excited and proud to
support Senator Obama in his bid for the Presidency. I know that
Senator Obama will fight to make sure that working families have
access to health care, good paying jobs, and opportunities to
provide for their children. Senator Obama supports the very best of
these Democratic values; they are values that he and I share, values
I know he will fight for. "Senator Obama has the vision, skills
and dedication necessary to bring people together and make real
progress in Washington to help solve our country's greatest and most
pressing problems. Senator Obama offers real hope for the American
people and I am proud to give him my support.
"I want to take this opportunity on this historic day to urge the
Legislature to immediately send me a bill to move our state's
primary from March 18, 2008 to February 5, 2008. That will give
Illinois voters an opportunity to send an early message in support
of Senator Obama and send him to victory."
