Steven Crowder!
Hosted by The 912 Patriots & The Lake & McHenry County YR's
Fun and Fundraiser! Ticket Price $25 Comedy Show Then afterward ask
Steven your own questions like, "how to get the youth involved?"
Steven is a 22 year old who espouses his conservative political views on
current events and addresses topical issues with humor.
He was the master of ceremonies on the third day of the 2010
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
He appears on the Fox News shows Glen Beck, Red Eye, Hannity, and Fox
& Friends.
He guests on radio programs with Dennis Miller and Guy Benson.
He starred as Blake in the film Bend & Break and as Doug Moore in To
Save a Life, and appeared as "Jace" in an episode of the TV series
Greek. He has also done voiceover work in several films.
Steven has a unique way of expressing his views and connecting with the
younger generation. His works have, on various occasions, ridiculed
celebrity political opinion, satirized gun control, and voiced
opposition to illegal immigration. Crowder accused the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) of anti-Christian bigotry, stating that "the fact
that this country was founded as the first true Christian nation is
what makes it the best place on earth for Jews, atheists, and Muslims
alike. ... The ACLU isn't anti-religious, it's anti-Christian."
Born in Detroit, raised in Montreal, Steven Crowder really had nothing
going for him until he turned twelve. It was at that age that he was
awarded the (coveted) role of voicing the character "The Brain" on the
hit children's TV series "Arthur" The role immediately launched him into
the realm of "Babe Magnet". With this in mind, he continued down the
path of acting (in both voice, TV and film) until he came to the
realization that he was no longer the cute infant that Public
Broadcasting had learned to love. Now that his baby-fat cheeks had left
him, he knew that he needed a new "hook "to catch the ladies.
Frantically,
he searched for the answer until one summer, working as
manual labor for the “Just for Laughs” Comedy Festival, the art of
Standup Comedy caught his eye. He approached a famous comedian and
received advice on how to get started in the business, after which he
was escorted from the premises, fined a hefty sum and brutally beaten.
Once the feeding tube was removed, Steven sauntered on down to a local
comedy club to try his hand at the trade. The throwing of vegetables and
angry screams of the crowd created and incredible "rush", upon which
Steven became immediately addicted and he never looked back. One year
later, (at 18 years old) Steven returned to the “Just for Laughs” as the
youngest Comedian ever to grace the festivals stage (breaking the
previous record set by Chris Rock at 19). His act was so well received
that coordinators decided to feature him on XM Radio and booked him on
tours across North America.
Now,
based out New York City, and fresh off
of winning the Nationwide “So you Think You’re Funny” MySpace Comedy
Contest, Steven Crowder continues to please both audiences and critics
with his unique brand of Comedy and point of view.

Kevin Jackson is a father
of four sons, and an unlikely success story, given his background.
He
is a leader in the consulting industry in America, having some of the world’s
largest companies as his clients. Interaction
with prominent business leaders, as well as being a business leader himself has
provided Jackson real world perspective to politics.
“What
you learn about America is people are a lot less interested in race than they are in character.” Jackson believes that empowerment comes when
you know who you are and what you stand for.
Jackson
is a highly sought national speaker, and he has graced the stage with
luminaries as Neal Boortz, Herman Cain, Judge Napolitano, and Andrew Breitbart,
to name a few.
In
addition to his Amazon best-selling The
BIG Black Lie, Jackson is a regular on the Glenn Beck show, writes his almost
daily blog, is a contributing writer to BigGovernment, American Thinker, and his
work was recently featured in Townhall magazine.
Jackson
hosts a radio show and does many guest appearances on some of the more
prominent conservative radio shows around the country.
Kevin
Jackson earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from
Southern Methodist University. He owned
his own manufacturer’s representative agency in Texas and served as the Vice
President of Sales and Marketing for M&A Technology, a Dallas-based technology
firm. Mr. Jackson has been part of the executive management team for various IT
systems integration firms, notables being Hitachi Consulting and CSC
Consulting, and he has provided management and IT consulting services to some
of the world’s largest corporations. |
THE
BIG BLACK LIE – How I learned the Truth About the Democrat Party
The Amazon
Best-Selling book, The BIG Black Lie is not just another Conservative
political book. The BIG Black Lie provides many humorous and poignant anecdotes,
using the life of the author as historical backdrop for a black Conservative’s
coming of age story.
Readers
are treated to an eye-opening journey through the eyes of a black kid who had
many pressures to succumb to Democrat victimology. Jackson avoided the traps and explains how
others can as well.
The
product of a broken home, a deadbeat father and poverty, Jackson had all the
excuses. He humorously provides a much
needed insight into the black pathology of voting monolithically Democrat, and
how he escaped to become a Conservative Republican. Jackson exposes the widely overlooked history
of Democrat racism—past and present—and challenges Republicans to stop
addressing Democrat tactics in the same old ways.
If you are tired of being called
a racist, and you need the ammunition to battle the Left, then The
BIG Black Lie is a must in your literary collection. The BIG Black Lie makes the reader
proud to be a conservative, and it teaches about the Republican Party’s history
of defending the freedoms of others. Readers will become empowered by The
BIG Black Lie, and they will find it a truly enjoyable read!
“Kevin
tells an honest heart-wrenching story that most of us can unfortunately related
to. This is a must read for every person who grew up without a
father and for those who were fortunate enough to grow up with a loving father.” – Rev. Wayne Perryman, Theologian, author of Unfounded Loyalty
“Kevin's book shows first hand that no one
ever has a reason for being a perpetual victim. His raw,
revealing, honest story about his father and upbringing only reaffirms
that regardless of your circumstances, one can still find a foundation of
values and virtues in their lives, that can assure them success in all walks of
life. This should be a must read for all high schools and libraries.”
– Armstrong
Williams, Conservative Political Pundit, Columnist, and Radio Show Host
"Kevin has the incredible gift of presenting
his intellectual abilities and deep understanding of sociopolitical issues in a
captivating way. I find his articles and presentations to be simultaneously
informative, refreshing, uplifting, and witty." - Laurencia C.D.L.

Joe Calomino has worked in the field of government affairs and state
politics for the last 17 years. During his career, Calomino has worked
as a government liaison for various state constitutional officers, as a
political strategist for state and local officials, and as a grassroots
organizer and activist.
Currently, Calomino is the state director for the Illinois
chapter of Americans for Prosperity (AFP-IL). Americans for Prosperity
is one of the premier grassroots citizen lobbyist organizations in the
country with over 900,000 members nationwide. Americans for Prosperity
is a citizen watchdog organization focused on promoting the free-market
and issues such as budget reform, lower taxes, government transparency
and accountability.
The Illinois chapter of Americans for Prosperity was formed in
August of 2006. AFP-IL has experienced exceptional growth in a
relatively short period of time, reaching over 20,000 members throughout
the state. AFP-IL has been the leader in fighting for government
transparency both in the state of Illinois and the country. Over the
course of the last two and a half years, AFP-IL has exposed billions of
dollars worth of hidden spending in the state’s budget.
AFP-IL’s watchdog efforts prompted Calomino to work with
Illinois lawmakers in developing comprehensive government transparency
legislation. (HB35) “The Illinois Accountability Act” is currently being
debated in the 96th General Assembly.
In July of 2008, Calomino joined with Washington DC based
Judicial Watch in filing a lawsuit against the office of the Illinois
governor and senate president for violations of the Freedom of
Information Act. Calomino and Judicial Watch have recently provided
testimony pertaining to government transparency at the recent House
impeachment hearings and the newly formed “Reform Illinois Now
Commission.”

Rosanna Pulido
Photo:Me and My HERO! Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Maricopa County Arizona |
Rosanna Pulido was born in Chicago in
1956, and was raised on the North Side in Wrigleyville. She was educated in
Catholic grammar school and high school and attended Prairie State
College.
Rosanna is a small businesswoman and an advocate senior
citizens. She produced and hosted Caregivers Radio, a program dedicated to the
concerns and needs of senior citizens and their families.
She is also a
staunch advocate for our veterans and for those who serve in Law
Enforcement.
She has worked extensively with sheriffs across the country
in addressing the many problems and dangers created by illegal immigration as it
relates to American citizens and our Law Enforcement Officers.
Rosanna
loves Chicago, her home, and America, and has a deep concern for what she sees
as the ongoing erosion of freedom and constitutional government. Her extensive
political involvement has always centered on the protection of the people’s
rights, particularly our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves, our
families, and the nation.
In April of 2005, as concerned citizens
gathered in Arizona to express their dissatisfaction with the federal
government’s failure to secure our borders, our national sovereignty, and the
rule of law, Rosanna felt compelled to join them. Inspired by this historic
citizen activism, she came home to found the Illinois Minutemen
organization.
Known for her honesty, Rosanna has earned a reputation as
an expert on the effects of illegal immigration, particularly in the area of the
loss of jobs and the huge burden it places on taxpayers. She has testified
before the Illinois legislature and in May of 2007 was invited to Washington, DC
to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. She has been a guest on
countless radio and television programs throughout Illinois, and has appeared
nationally on shows such as Lou Dobbs, Neil Cavuto, and CNN’s American
Morning.
While many people in politics talk about “reform” and fighting
corruption, she’s actually done something about it. While she may bear the
Republican label, she’s hardly a darling of the leaders of either the Republican
or the Democratic parties. Hers is a truly independent conservative voice. When
asked to describe the purpose of her political activism in one sentence, she
replied, “Let’s give this government back to the people.”
In March 2009
Rosanna Pulido won the Republican nomination for Congress in Illinois’ Fifth
District, earning a spot on the ballot to fill Rahm Emanuel’s vacant seat in the
special election which was in April. Unfortunately, Ms. Pulido did not win the
election in a heavily Democrat district but in keeping with her view that
citizens make good legislators, not career politicians, she has promised to
continue her fight to champion for term limits and other causes which she
supports.

For the last 13 years, I have studied the law, including the United States
Constitution. I have litigated several cases in state and federal court. I am
well versed in the law and the principles behind them. For the last 13 years of
study, confrontations, and various litigation's, one thing has become very
clear; the complete absence of law in our courts, our elected officials, and the
numerous administrative agencies that plague our lives. Tyranny and lawlessness
reign throughout the United States! Something must be done. I therefore join my
fellow Patriots in defending the Constitution of the United States of
America. |

My background includes significant business and law enforcement
experience. I interned in the Lake County State’s Attorneys Office. I went to work
for the Lake County State’s Attorneys Office in 1990 as an Assistant
State’s Attorney. I left in 1998 after serving as a Senior Felony
Prosecutor. I was promoted to Chief of the Gang Crimes Bureau. In this position, I
prosecuted the street gangs from one end of the state to the other. I also served as a Special Assistant United States Attorney. I received numerous awards in the Attorney General’s Office for
prosecutorial excellence. In 2002, I opened my own practice, concentrating in civil and criminal
litigation. I have also spent the last 10-years teaching criminal justice at
Columbia College. Many of my students have been police officers.
In 2006, I was elected Sheriff of Lake County. Since taking office on
December 1, 2006, I have instituted an Ethics Policy for employees of
the Sheriff’s Office. I have also submitted an application with the
Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to implement the 287G
Program, which will assist with the deportation of undocumented
immigrants who are arrested for violent felony offenses. The Sheriff’s Office has also worked closely with the Lake County
State’s Attorneys Office to reduce the number of outstanding warrants
for “Deadbeat Parents.”
Recently, a Special Operations Group has been formulated. This unit was
put together to respond to riots and other volatile situations which
may occur within the county. |

I've been in private practice as a Urologic surgeon sine 1997. I have served on
various hospital committees, and was the Principal Investigator for the SWOG
trial looking at prostate cancer prevention at Resurrection Medical Center. I
have read the health care bill. I have attended the tax day tea party rally
downtown last year, and marched in Washington on 9/12. I also attended the
Doctor's Rally against Obamacare on 9/10. I am a member of Congressman Tom
Price's Physician's Committee for Responsible Reform (which opposed Obamacare).
I am a lifelong conservative who opposes the Health Care Reform Bill because it
does nothing to reform Health Care. It reduces quality of care and access to
care, especially for seniors, and masquerades as a reform while seeking only to
control both the means of production and small business. I have spent 13 years
dealing with both private and government insurers, and this bill will
effectively destroy the private practice of medicine in this country. |

and political discussion ranging across international, national, state,
and local issues. The hallmark of the show is
Bruno’s commitment to allowing callers to voice their views without rude

liberals, rabid populists, paleo-conservatives, and collectivists short
when their ideas are so easy to refute?
The Extreme Wisdom Show is a perfect mix of college
level content and conservative ideas, delivered in an intelligent,
polite manner that most talk show hosts are incapable of. Think of it
as a less pretentiousNPR.

community and was formerly Field Director for FreedomWorks
(www.FreedomWorks.com) in Illinois.
He has a background in various areas, including:

arena, working with various groups and candidates in Illinois to promote
progressive business-friendly and market-friendly policies.
His current projects, which he discusses on his
radio show and on this blog, are the passage of a Constitutional
Convention in 2008, featuring a dramatic limitation to the
scope and power of the Illinois Government, and a re-write of
Illinois’ tax and education code which, if passed, will
provide Illinois’ businesses and individual taxpayers a substantial net
tax cut and universal, fully-funded scholarship for every Illinois
student, redeemable at any accredited Illinois school.
