A few days after President Barack Obama pushed his health care reform plan to the nation, a group of DuPage County Republicans pushed back.
Three U.S. Representatives - Judy Biggert, Mark Kirk and Peter Roskam - spoke against the plan at a special health care rally held Saturday in Villa Park by the DuPage County Republican Party. Party chairman and state Sen. Dan Cronin said the event was a chance for suburban Republicans to make their voices heard as federal lawmakers debate the health-care bill.

 Every September 11th, the United States remembers Patriot Day in honor of the memory of the nearly 3,000 people who died in the senseless attack’s on the twin towers in New York. This day of remembrance and reflection is also dedicated to the brave men and women who serve in our nation’s police and fire corps and all emergency workers and first responders.
Please join Senator Cronin, in your own way, as we honor those who gave their lives in the war on terrorism and honor those special people who put themselves in harm’s way everyday to protect our security and safety. |
Springfield, Ill. – Sen. Cronin is looking to technology as a way to provide students and teachers with innovative alternatives to the standard textbook.
“Kids are carrying around book bags crammed with heavy text books, and I know there is a better way,” Cronin said. “Incorporating electronics, like digital textbooks, into a student’s daily routine would open up a whole new way to learn.”
Cronin explained that digital textbooks are electronic versions of traditional print textbooks that are most commonly used in schools. However, the digital “books” provide the additional benefit of providing audio and video resources to better illustrate the lessons and improve the educational experience.
