Tonight we learned the road to A New Day in Illinois is longer than we had hoped. But the fight we waged against the under performing Illinois establishment does not end tonight and certainly does not end with my campaign. Over the course of the last year, you have opened a new chapter in Illinois politics and renewed the Reagan revolution that first came to Illinois in 1976. Tea Parties, 9/12 organizations and other advocacy organizations have re-ignited the consciousness of conservatism. Your passion has captured the imagination of thousands of Illinoisans across our great state from Rockford to Carbondale; from Quincy to Danville. and created an unprecedented grassroots movement calling for honest, accountable, and limited government. Today, we may have been delayed, but we have not been denied.

I am committed to rebuilding our party and I am committed to re-laying the foundation with the values and principles our nation's founders knew to be essential for liberty: limited government, free enterprise, individual freedom and traditional American values.

I still believe that it's your turn. I still believe the dawn of a new day is rising in Illinois. And I still believe that what you have started over the course of the last year is epic and has already made history in so many ways. And, I am still with you, for Illinois.

I mentioned Mr. Andrzejewski favorably in my blog Conflicted Libertarian.

I was proud to work this campaign as a volunteer in the Oak Lawn, IL office. I would be just as proud to work even harder if you want to run as an independent. Or maybe wait until we can get rid of Dick Durbin.

Just wanted to say thank you for running an inspiring campaign. I'm a self employed family man that saw a candidate that really gets it! I saw that in you. Promote business, lower taxes, reduce gov. spending, and total transparency of gov. You really get it! Hope to see you in the future.

Adam I followed your campaign from Little Rock Arkansas and it is clear that you are a future leader for conservatives, Illinois and America. Continue to stand for principles over parties, and the people over power. Study closely our great leaders from the past and draw strength from their disappointments as well as their conquest. You, your family and staff and have every right to be proud of the positive, issue rich campaign you ran. "Be not weary in well doing, for in due season ye shall reap, if you faint not". Sincerely.

The Repub is a reeber. Appreciate a admirable campaign, Adam.

Adam, Thanks for your campaign and for giving me the opportunity to vote for something rather than against someone. I hope you and our beliefs will come back and once again become the prevailing ideals in our state and nation. I pray for the best for you and once again thank you for your effort and leadership.

Hi Adam, I voted for you but I knew that this will happen, you and Proft split the conservative vote. Plus of that the local media, as usual, didn't treat you fairly, what happened to Ron Paul two years ago it happened to you now. At least you are in good company. :) Let's hope that next time more people will be ready for real change. Good luck!

Thanks for running a strong, effective race. Thanks also for continually clarifying the principles upon which it was based. You are right that to succeed we must build a movement, and that is a longer process. We appreciate your contribution and hope that you will stay active in this very necessary movement.

Adam, Don't stop fighting for governor of our fine state. Only being a few years out of college, I am now realizing how much politics in Illinois impact my life. You are what this state needs, an articulate conservative with a high level of understanding of the private sector and the people I hope you will represent some day in Springfield. You were the only candiate that I believe in and that is not part of the political 'elitist' class (on both sides). It was refreshing that I finally had someone to vote for that I can identify with and believe in. I have grown tired of wasting my vote in the past on any polititan in any party that was in our state's government during the past decade of corruption, including the so-called conservatives in our party. Our state is a national laughing-stock thanks to the crooked political machine we know too well. There is an endless list of situations where our values and principles work, and our great state desperately needs them more than ever. Thank you again for all that you have done during your campaign. -Jeff

Adam, thank you for running for governor as a REAL Reagan Republican. Don't give up! Lincoln ran for office several times before being elected President. And of course Reagan was originally from Illinois, as I recall. So hang in there, stick to your conservative principles, and keep standing up for the truth!

On 2/3/2010 Jon said:

You have inspired me. I voted for the first time yesterday! I hope to see you back in 2014! The people of our state need a leader like you in Springfield.

Adam, Please don't give up. We need you more than ever. AA

You're a good man. Sorry you came up short. Your above message is inspiring. Thanks for everything.

On 2/3/2010 Cathy said:

I am so disappointed with the so-called conservatives in our state. Did they vote by whose name they saw most often on signs and other media, or did they vote like the sheeple they are? The latter I think. Had they voted intelligently, Dillard wouldn't be in the top two and you would be in the number one position. Please don't give up on us. I hope to see good things from you in the next few years and hope to see you running again in the next term.

May God bless you and our beloved country. Methinks that this is only the beginning for you Adam; even more, we need someone like you to represent consummate conservatives and patriots like me.

Adam and campaign staff, You guys did a great job! Everyone should be proud of the effort. There are finally, winds of change in Illinois politics. Thank you! I was very happy to do my small part for the campaign and look forward to what the future holds for true conservative candidates and leaders in this state.

Thanks for this post. I share and appreciate your optimism about Illinois & our whole nation this year. We will not get our first choices in every primary and will not win every election. But if we work together, there will be a great victory in November. And that will be just the beginning of many more to come. You are young, very talented & carry a good compass. I believe you have a very bright future in politics. Thanks for giving an old man hope for a better future. God bless you.

I hope to see you on a ballot again soon! Thanks for running a great campaign!

I firmly believe that the powers that be, have made the election cycle to coincide with the coldest seasons of the year. Add to that, the slanted & non coverage of the media, and you have the makings of "status quo". We have in Andrew, our own "status politic" in that Illinois, and particularly Chicago is home to more Poles than Warsaw. Add to that, the tea-party movement, and we have the momentum. The gubernatorial three-ringed circus will eventually be played out, and that "polititian" will want to "hitch his wagon to a star" like Adam -- by reason of we, his following, in order to battle a Lieutennant Governor (?) who is truly not liked (only 50% of Dems?). We want to see Adam a part of such an attempt that cannot be discarded after the election. As our brother from Dixon once said "Ich bin ein Berlinner", I URGE you ALL to say to yourselves, "For this, I am Solidnarnosc in Illinois!"

As a current Kankakee County resident (Herscher), I was extremely happy with how well you did in the election locally. My wife and both hope that this does not end your future government endeavors. We both loved some of your ideas and hope that you reach an office someday in Illinois government to help this state regain a strong conservative stance. This country as a whole has lost it's way that our forefathers developed and it will be bright candidates like you to straighten it out. You will always have the support of our strong conservative household.

Look forward to supporting you going forward...thank you for running a professional campaign, keep working hard we appreciate it.

On 2/3/2010 Trevor Morgan said:

Adam, You have conducted yourself as an honest candidate as well as anyone I have observed in my 63 years. I'll be happy to continue to work for you in your continuing efforts to revolutionize Illinos politics. Well done good and faithful servant.

On 2/3/2010 Marianne Strzyzynski Swanson said:

Would you consider running as an independent or a write in Candidate? I do not think that the public had enough time to absorb the information about the candidates and went with lazy route.

On 2/3/2010 Gary Hubbard said:

Adam, You made a great run! You didn't loose, you just ran out of time! Momentum was coming your way and given another few weeks, it might have happened. I picked up a few votes for you in my area by putting up signs and talking to a few people in the neighborhood. Keep up the good fight! Gary Hubbard Poplar Grove, Illinois

On 2/3/2010 Jan Van Dellen said:

Adam and Staff, I am grateful for your stand, your commitment and resolve to continue to rebuild our party with conservative values and high morals. May the Lord strengthen and guide you - and all of us - as we labor. Sincerely, Jan

On 2/3/2010 Pam Johnson said:

Adam WE are still with you, for Illinois. We believe in you, what you are trying to accomplish and we encourage you to keep up the good fight. Stay focused on your vision for a better Illinois. You have our undying support so keep up the fight!

On 2/3/2010 Trever Kuipers said:

I was shocked to hear the results. I really think you were the best candidate for change and reform in Illinois. You will continue to have my support in future endeavors.

On 2/3/2010 Meg said:

Adam, I hope you stay visible in this fight. Illinois needs more folks like you! There's a lot to overcome in Illinois but with hard work we can do it!

On 2/3/2010 Craig said:

Congrats on a well run campaign. I hope you continue to push in future races, and throw your support behind the candidates that match your (and our) goals. Craig.

Thank you for being a True Conservative. We have a committment and we will achieve it.

Mr. Andrzejewski, You have generated a lot of buzz and momentum with your campaign. You were recognized by many of nation’s conservative leaders as the right leader for Illinois. Do not give up the fight for our state. My family and I are looking forward to vote for your and support your political future. Regards, Jacek Bartecki Mt. Prospect, Illinois
