Liberal Democrats seem to have no problem with Chicago crooks

About Creamer: For many years, he was the executive director of the Illinois Public Action Council. His wife, Jan Schakowsky, now a Democratic Illinois congresswoman was on the board of directors of the self-appointed consumer advocacy group. Creamer got caught kiting checks while running the group--he had done it before and was warned by federal authorities not to do it again. He didn't listen, and got nabbed by the Feds again, which got him a trip to a Federal Prison Camp for five months last year.

As for the spin from the Creamer camp that no one lost money because of his check-kiting - that may be true - but Creamer in essence, obtained interest-free loans from those banks.

And while Schakowsky, his wife - was not involved in the day-to-day affairs of the Illinois Public Action Council, she was on the IPAC board of directors while her husband was committing bank fraud.

Cramer wrote the how-to-manual for how progressives can fight the right wing machine and win. 'Listen to Your Mother. Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win' is the Bible for progressive activists and politicians who want to and are willing to go toe-to-toe with the Rght over the future of the country.
