[ROCKFORD] – Touting his lifetime 100% pro-life voting record, the Illinois Citizens for Life, federal PAC has endorsed Congressman Don Manzullo (R-Egan) over his opponent in the March 20 primary election.

“We are aware that throughout your years in the U.S. House of Representatives, you have had a 100% pro-life voting record. Additionally, we know that you have been a sponsor or co-sponsor of numerous pro-life and child sexual abuse protection legislation,” said Ralph Rivera, Chairman of the Illinois Citizens for Life, federal PAC, in a letter of endorsement to Manzullo. “All of these fine accomplishments are what leads us to a determination that you are certainly deserving of our endorsement for re-election in the 2012 elections.” Click here to read the full text of the endorsement letter.

I was honored to have the opportunity today to welcome the Boeing 787 Dreamliner to the Chicago-Rockford International Airport, along with officials from Hamilton Sundstrand. The Dreamliner is a magnificent aircraft, and Rockford is one of only three stops in the United States for the Dream tour. Hamilton Sundstrand is a top supplier to Boeing for this project, and I am proud of the 1,900 workers at the company, the largest manufacturer in Rockford, for the high-quality work they perform for the aerospace industry. Thank you for allowing me to join you in this celebration today.
