John Borling's Excellent Adventrue in Freeport
McHenry County Blog received this press release from the write-in campaign for John Borling for Congress.
He apparently is getting good press in Freeport. He has gotten none in McHenry County, as far as I can see. McHenry County has 25% of the 16th congressional district's votes.
Borling contends that both parties have let us down in the Congress and that Northern Illinois and America require a ‘political middle’ to get the work of the nation accomplished. “We are fed up with career politicians and constant partisan wrangling and down the line voting according to party extremists who have captured the agenda, “ says Borling. “ It’s Halloween—we should send robots in clown costumes to Congress if all we want is more of the same---and that’s no joke,” he adds.
Meanwhile, the need and opportunity for fair and full discourse and candidate evaluation is being denied to the voters. Borling will be excluded from a formatted and controlled League candidate’s forum at Rock Valley College on Thursday night the 24th. He will be present and available for questions and interview before and after the event as the public and the press may require.
Borling and the Democratic challenger continue to press Mr. Manzullo to ‘come out’ and have wide ranging public discussion but Manzullo continues to plead schedule conflicts. Borling calls it “BS” (Baffling Scheduling). “ It’s part of the job” Borling contends, “Federally elected officials (or wannabes) must have the confidence and competence to engage in open debate in the interests of Northern Illinois and the Nation.”
Borling is a combat tested fighter pilot, former Major General USAF and Accredited Diplomat, Business Executive, Civic Leader, Motivational Speaker, White House Fellow and POW in Vietnam for 6 ½ years. From Chicago, he and his wife of 43 years, Myrna, have lived in Rockford for over 5 years and have two adult daughters

BORLING HEADLINED IN FREEPORTJohn Borling, the Independent and Write In candidate for the Congress in the 16th District (Northern Illinois) is front page news in the Freeport Journal Standard. His moderate and well articulated views were widely covered this week despite being excluded from a League of Woman’s Voter’s candidate forum on Tuesday.

I met Gen. Borling several years ago while he was running for U.S. Senate. He's as solid a candidate as they come and he has my vote.
