Mostly red suburb in a blue state, but we finally got rid of Biggert and re-elected Foster!

I wrote Biggert a letter in the fall of 2003 imploring her not to vote for the IWR that gave GW Bush the green light to invade Iraq. Of course she voted for it, and her reply letter to me (probably the same position paper she sent en masse) explained we needed to invade Iraq because 9/11 showed the deadly combination of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. I excoriated her for insulting the intelligence of voters, pointing out that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and those terrorists were armed with box cutters.
