Beacon News Discovers ItsTimeForCross.com

Well...I guess we probably have Representative Cross' attention now. In his hometown paper, the Aurora Beacon News, reporter Andre Salles covers our project and talks about why we're working so hard to convince Tom to join this race: The Republican party's future is on the line.

Jake Parrillo thinks the Republican Party needs a reboot. And he knows just the guy to do it.

Over the weekend, Parrillo launched a Web site geared toward drafting Illinois House Minority Leader Tom Cross into running for governor in 2010. The site, called It's Time for Tom, lists several reasons why the long-serving representative from Oswego would be a good candidate -- not the least of which, Parrillo says, is his ability to draw the Republican Party together.

"He appeals to traditional and non-traditional Republicans," Parrillo said. "It's clear from the drubbing we took on Tuesday (Nov. 4) that we need to embrace and extend an invitation into the Republican Party."
