Release: Callis Launches "Do Nothing Davis" Tour

Press Release

Former Chief Judge and Congressional challenger Ann Callis launched the "Do Nothing Davis" Tour today with a rally for volunteers who will kick off a weekend of action highlighting how Congressman Davis defended the "Do Nothing" Congress and defended his taxpayer-funded perks, even while Congress won't do anything on equal pay or to raise the minimum wage.

"This campaign is about people across Illinois who are sick of Washington politicians and insiders like Congressman Davis, who continues to defend the do nothing Congress while protecting his generous taxpayer-funded perks and hiring new lobbyists to represent the special interests that fund his campaign," said Callis to volunteers. "Starting this weekend, volunteers like you around our district are going to make your voices heard to remind Do Nothing Davis and his friends like Speaker Boehner that Congress should work for the people, not themselves."

Congressman Davis has defended the "Do Nothing Congress," the taxpayer funded perks members of Congress receive, and his choice to hire a lobbyist to run his office. Just this summer, Davis recently hired another lobbyist to work on energy issues while simultaneously accepting significant campaign contributions from oil and gas companies.
