Speakers will include: Adam Andrzejewski, former Ill. gubernatorial candidate; Denise Cattoni, coordinator, Illinois Tea Party Patriots; Joe Walsh, 8th Congressional District, candidate; Jim Tobin, president, National Taxpayers United of Illinois; Zach Oltmans, president, Illinois Conservatives; John Bambenek, the “Put-Back Amendment” author; and Rosanna Pulido, former 5th Congressional District candidate.

The event will run from 1 to 4:30 p.m. at Davis Park. Join thousands of patriots as they tell Congress and the White House: “Enough!”
