Billboards Press Bean On Global Warming

Less than two weeks before the election, a well-known environmental group is trying to publicly pin down U.S. Rep. Melissa Bean on global warming.

Greenpeace has put up four billboards in Bean's 8th House District that ask her for a plan to combat climate change. The large ads can be seen in the Barrington, Palatine, Woodstock and Lakemoor areas.

"We want to know where Bean stands," said Nicole Granacki, a field organizer for Greenpeace in the 8th District, which includes parts of Cook, Lake and McHenry counties.

Definately vote Democratic. It's crucial to grease the wheels before Obama gets behind the seat. Wraps his fingers around the wheel. Oh, he deserves it!

Melissa Bean is a self-described "blue dog Democrat."

Her claim to fame is that she ran as a Democrat to replace Congressman Phil Crane, a Republican who had a problem with an under-age Congressional page. She was elected as a Democrat but she has a history of voting in favor of legislation sending more jobs overseas and generally going along with Republicans.

bean's gift to the country was the ouster of phil crane a couple of cycles back. her record often panders right due to a large presence of big pharma in the region (abbott, baxter). with illinois trending about 20-29% obama, she should get reelected. kirk is the one to be concerned about.
