Who Am I?
Jan Schakowsky is the Congresswoman from the 9th district of Illinois.

What I've Done for Blagojevich:
I raised money for Rod Blagojevich. "She raised a bunch of money for Rod Blagojevich last year while she was actively campaigning for the US Senate appointment." - Rich Miller, Capitol Fax Blog, http://thecapitolfaxblog.com/2009/01/16/schakowsky-time-will-tell/

"A separate letter, signed by Ronen and U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky(D-Ill.), promotes Blagojevich's stand on requiring pharmacies to fill birth-control prescriptions...[it] was sent to 9,000 potential donors" - Chicago Tribune, Governor out to fix image; Mailings, trips hint at intense campaign, June 26, 2005.

I donated $30,000 to Rod Blagojevich and his election committees - Illinois State Board of Elections.

I introduced Blagojevich when he announced his candidacy in 2001. "[Blagojevich] was introduced to the crowd by liberal North Side and North Shore U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who called him a "political ally." - Chicago Tribune, Blagojevich candidacy starts with home base, August 13, 2001.

My husband, Robert Creamer, helped elect Rod Blagojevich. "Over time, the husband of U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky assembled A-list clients that included Gov. Blagojevich... By far, Creamer's largest client was Blagojevich, who extensively used Strategic Consulting Group leading up to the 2002 gubernatorial primary. The governor's campaign fund paid the firm $541,654 in 2001 and 2002 for consulting, phone-banking and field work, state campaign records show." - Chicago Sun Times, Activist went on to woo A-list pols as political consultant, March 12, 2004.

I was responsible for Blagojevich’s get out the vote operation in 2002. "Eventually the different election operations were farmed out...Money for partisan get-out-the vote activities is channeled through the 9th Congressional District Victory Fund, created by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.)." - Chicago Sun Times, An outsider? No chance, October 17, 2002.

What I've Said About Blagojevich:
I described Blagojevich as a "friend" and applauded the healthcare programs he was impeached for. "We do have a working relationship, and we have a long-standing friendship... I agree with him on his priority of health care and applaud him for the work he has done as the health care governor." - Chicago Sun Times, Schakowsky makes play for Obama's seat, April 6, 2008.

I endorsed Rod Blagojevich for re-election in 2006, despite numerous press accounts of endemic hiring fraud and the federal investigation targeting the governor’s office. "For tomorrows primary election, here are the candidates in contested races that I am supporting...Governor - Rod Blagojevich" - http://www.janschakowsky.org/SchaBLOGsky/tabid/36/ctl/ArticleView/mid/512/articleId/242/Endorsed-Candidates.aspx, accessed January 20, 2009
