This is a landmark day in the history of our Central Illinois 9/12 Project. Thanks to the diligent and committed work of the Watchdog Committee, its recent efforts calling attention to a possible bailout of ShoreBank have drawn the attention of the folks at Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government website. We now have a brand new article posted as a feature story at biggovernment.com. Remember, this is the same website that broke the story where Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe exposed the corruption at various ACORN offices around the country. We are proud to take our own place now as citizen journalists at Biggovernment.com.

 
You can visit Big Government’s website and view our feature <<<<here>>>.

Big Government also has published our group’s biography <<<here>>>.

In time we will feature the entire story on our own website as well. We sincerely appreciate editor Mike Flynn and the rest of the folks at biggovernment.com for taking an interest in our efforts. We encourage everyone to visit their site and pass the word along as we expect more of our work to be featured in the future.
