-Endorsements-
"I endorse Lindy Scott for U.S.
Congress from the 6th District of Illinois"
(The mention of an organization is for identification
purposes only. It does not signify institutional endorsement)
New people are endorsing our campaign
each week. Every week the new ones
will be mentioned at the top as well as incorporated in the list. This week is very special because we picked up the important endorsement of the large Spanish language newspaper "Chicago Deportivo (75,000 readership in the Chicagoland area). Among their generous words they comment "Lindy Scott has developed great affinity with the Mexican and other immigrant families resulting from his intimate contact with the culture and history of Mexico during his 16 years residency in Mexico City....His sense of justice has led him to take positions in support of legislation and social service programs for the benefit of working families and not the super-rich."

Those wishing to join this list of endorsees can write "I
endorse Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of
Illinois" or a more personalized endorsement paragraph with
your name and identifying characteristics such as occupation and
place of residence to Scott4congress@hotmail.com ***********************************************
“As voters living in the 6th District of DuPage County for
31 years, we are enthusiastically supporting Lindy Scott in his
campaign for the House of Representatives. We believe, without
a doubt, Lindy is the best candidate to represent this district.
Lindy can best represent the Democratic Party against any candidate.
He has been a resident of Wheaton for eleven years and has many
ties to groups and individuals in the 6th district. Lindy demonstrates
an understanding of different cultures from around the world.
This is essential to solving the problems we face internationally
and here at home. He speaks with a broad base of experience and
information. Never before have we faced such a diverse population
in DuPage County. The needs of all people across various socio-economic
levels must be addressed at both the local and national level.
He has been endorsed by many Latino groups and is also being supported
by many people from the Muslim and Indian communities. Friends
of ours from the African American community have also been impressed
by his message. We wholeheartedly endorse Lindy Scott as our representative
in Congress for the 6th District.” Maureen Doyle, Retired
Special Education Teacher and Bob Doyle, Retired insurance software
consulting manager, Residents of Wheaton.
“I am a resident of Wheaton, work as a Nurse Practitioner,
and am a PhD student in Bioethics Research. As a healthcare professional,
I support Lindy's call for change in our current US healthcare
system, of which I am both frustrated with and ashamed of on a
regular basis. As the wife of a teacher, I also am witness to
the need for changes in the education system.” Amanda Law,
Resident of Wheaton
“I am delighted to endorse Lindy Scott for the U.S. Congress
from the 6th District of Illinois. Lindy Scott offers dispirited
citizens more han an option to the entrenched and closed perspectives
of the opposition. He is free from partisan baggage and has well-conceived,
consistent positions on the War in Iraq, poverty in America, pro-life,
and health care. Many of us have been longing for just such a
senate candidate. I am enthusiastic about Lindy Scott's vision
for America!” Zondra Lindblade, Retired Professor of Sociology,
Wheaton College
“Anyone who knows Lindy Scott would not be surprised at
the many ways he has found to serve: in his place of work, in
his community and in many regions of the world, but especially
among Spanish speakers. His record of service, along with his
interest in promoting justice and ethics both privately and in
the public forum make him an obvious choice for an elected official.
What does, however, seem unusual in those who run for public office
is the fact that in the 10 years I have known him, Lindy has never
failed to privately model in practice the beliefs he speaks for
publicly. I enthusiastically endorse Lindy Scott for Congress,
believing that he will bring courage and honesty to a political
system sadly lacking in both.” Dr. Phyllis Mitchell, Chair,
Department of Foreign Languages, Wheaton Colleg
"Over six years ago I visited
Wheaton College as a prospective student. At that time, I was
drawn to many unique qualities the college had to offer, but it
was not until I met Dr. Scott that the deal was sealed. Upon visiting
Dr. Scott's Spanish class, I was convinced that if I were to be
in contact with people like him during my time as a student, then
Wheaton College was the place for me to be. In subsequent years,
I did have the privilege to be in a few of Dr. Scott's classes,
and I cannot think of anyone with a more balanced sense of justice
and mercy. Furthermore, the virtues of humility and servanthood
are those not often seen among our leaders, yet I am deeply convinced
that both are primary attributes of Dr. Scott. I am certain that
his talent, experience, passion, honesty, and integrity will be
among the driving forces of his mission to represent others fairly
and without concern for personal gain. For the above reasons and
many more, I enthusiastically endorse Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress
from the 6th District of Illinois."
-Bryan Bonner, Recent College Graduate, Wheaton College
"We endorse Lindy Scott wholeheartedly
for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. His positions
are sound, thought through well, backed by international experience,
and clearly articulated. He has the potential to make the world
and this country a better place."
Karin R. and Mark A. Edwards, Wheaton
"I'm delighted that Lindy Scott
is a candidate for election to the US Congress, and offer my enthusiastic
and unequivocal endorsement. For the past six years, since moving
to Wheaton, I've known and worked with Lindy. I have found him
to be a man of deep integrity, with a passion for the values that
are so distinctively the core of American identity, including
justice, equality, freedom, opportunity. What I so deeply appreciate
about Lindy is that he clearly recognizes both the opportunity
potential in those values and the responsibility obligation of
those values. In this new millennium we need leadership that understands
our privilege and responsibility (two sides of the same coin),
so that with creativity, passion, and care, we can together build
and strengthen communities of life and hope. This is the challenge
we face; this is the hope for our future. Lindy is our man!"
Paul Robinson, Director of Human Needs & Global Resources
Program (HNGR), Wheaton College
"Lindy Scott's candidacy for
the U.S. Congress fills me with hope for American politics. Lindy's
unique combination of compassion and tough-mindedness is just
what is needed to bring fresh solutions to the challenging problems
that face the nation. Lindy's collegial work style will do much
to counter-balance unproductive forms of partisanship which are
currently all too prevalent in Washington, D.C." Ira Smolensky,
Professor of Political Science, Monmouth College
"I had the privilege of getting
to know Dr. Scott during my time as a student at Wheaton College.
As a result of my interactions with him both in the classroom
and also abroad, I have gained a deep respect for Dr. Scott. He
is a man of great integrity, conviction, sincerity and vision.
I trust him to make sound legislative decisions in an ethical,
compassionate, and impartial manner. I believe that he would promote
a sense of unity within the Congress by being open to proposals
of both parties and voting according to what he believes to be
correct, not that which is convenient. If given the opportunity,
I know that Dr. Scott will make a positive difference for the
6th District, for our nation, and for our global community. I
wholeheartedly endorse Lindy Scott for Congress from the 6th District
of Illinois." Becky Groeneweg. 2nd Grade Teacher, Tioga School,
Bensenville
"As a disheartened 6th District
Republican, I am pleased to endorse Lindy Scott as a Democratic
candidate for Congress. He is a man of integrity who has demonstrated
a personal commitment to social justice, especially for those
underrepresented in our democracy. I like the warmth of his heart
and the sharpness of his mind." Dr. John C. (Jack) Swanson,
Retired Superintendent, Oak Park/River Forest High School
"Lindy Scott brings clear and
deep convictions, significant relevant experience, and a clear
articulation of responses to the issues facing the 6th Congressional
District. He has my warm support." Evvy Campbell, Associate
Professor, Wheaton College
"I have had the privilege of
knowing Lindy for over six years. Lindy is a man of deep convictions
and even deeper compassion. He is not afraid to speak truth, and
I have no doubt that he will be an excellent advocate for the
people of the 6th District. As an Evangelical Christian, I have
increasingly felt alienated by politicians who claim to speak
for me and my God but whose policies on war, justice, the environment,
and the poor are the opposite of Jesus' teachings and his example.
I have been searching for a candidate who would be brave enough
to speak out against the use of Christianity to condone and support
the unjust foreign and domestic policies endorsed by the Religious
Right...and I believe I have found that candidate in Lindy. I
am excited about politics again, and I am ready to see a change
in the way business is done in Washington D.C. Run, Lindy, Run!"
Kate Schuenke, Doctoral Student, Notre Dame University
"I have known Dr. Scott for
over 25 years. He is a man of high integrity and is committed
to justice for all. Dr. Scott is ethical, thoughtful, analytical,
and is passionate about the rightful place of government in society.
He will be an excellent Congressman." Dr. David Anderson,
Clinical Psychologist
"Finally a candidate I can
support wholeheartedly. Dr Scott is the candidate that Washington
has been waiting for. He is not a career politician but rather
one of us. I have known Dr. Scott for years and see him as a humble
servant who gets things done. He has the ability to reach across
party lines and bring members of both parties together for the
betterment of America. It is with great joy that I endorse Dr.
Lindy Scott for Congress from Illinois' Sixth District."
Peter Stepaniuk, Physical Plant Employee, Wheaton College, Resident
of Hanover Park
"I endorse Lindy Scott for
Congress with gratitude that such an ethical and caring individual
has agreed to serve the people of the 6th District. As a pro-life
Democrat Lindy Scott doesn't fit easily into any categories. He
is concerned about our children, the environment, issues of life
and the world outside our national borders. We need more people
like him who transcend political categories and care about the
community." Sandra F. Joireman, Associate Professor of Politics
and International Relations, Wheaton College
"I wholeheartedly endorse Dr.
Lindy Scott. He is one of the only adults I know who lives a life
that is wholly consistent with his convictions. He is not only
a persuasive and passionate idealist, but a pragmatic and patient
force for change. These two characteristics are rarely observed
in one individual. Not only are they true of Dr. Scott in his
academic and public endeavors, but in his personal and private
life as well. He has held many different and varied positions
in the past and shows a unique capability to apply his gifts to
varied situations. His success in these varied experiences and
exposures hinge upon his ability to understand people and society.
This gift of insight and keen perception into individuals and
society is another rarity and is tantamount to being an effective
representative. With absolutely no reservations I endorse Dr.
Lindy Scott for Congress with the hope that his willingness to
engage in political life will bring new life to this American
political institution." Alice Toher, Pediatric Public Health
Nurse
"I believe Lindy has the vision
to take this country in a direction it needs to go in, he has
the passion to see that vision through, and most important he
has the conviction to stand strong in the midst of a political
environment that is full of compromise. In this day when individuals
claim to stand for what is right, Lindy is someone who will stand
for what is right instead of giving in to what is popular or allowing
his agenda to be determined by tradition. I fully support Lindy
and his run for U.S. Congress." Chris Woodard, Director of
Human Resources, Wheaton College
"I endorse Lindy Scott for
US Congress for the 6th district of Illinois. I have been a partner
of a global CPA firm and have served with Lindy on a Board of
Directors for the past 5 years. He is an outstanding candidate.
His voice is urgently needed in Congress." Walter Cercavschi,
Certified Public Accountant
"I gladly endorse Lindy Scott
to the United States Congress for the 6th district. Would that
all such contestents be the quality of person that Dr. Lindy Scott
is!" Gerald F. Hawthorne, Professor Emeritus, Resident of
Wheaton
"I strongly endorse Lindy Scott
because his position on issues and concerns are in the best interest
of all society, especially the marginalized group that is growing
rapidly. A stable society in the future hangs in the balance,
and depends upon Representatives who will champion policies that
will insure a sufficient sustainable livelihood for all. I believe
that Lindy Scott will put the needs of people ahead of the political
ideology that is prohibiting meaningful debate on so many important
social justice issues." Darwin Cooper, Lutheran Network for
Justice Advocacy
"I am happy to endorse Lindy
Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. Having
known him as a friend since 1976, I have come to appreciate his
genuine concern for the care and welfare of all people. He is
a man of integrity and justice, with a wide breadth of experience.
I have no doubt that, if elected, he will serve his constituency
wholeheartedly, with wisdom and sensitivity to the issues at hand,
and care for the welfare of those he represents." Marilyn
Brenner, Secretary to the Chaplain, Wheaton College
"I respect the legacy of Henry
Hyde in the 6th District. I have worked with him and think of
him as an honorable man and public servant. I also respect Pete
Roskam and consider him honorable as well. But the world is changing,
and DuPage County is changing. And what this District needs and
what our nation needs is a new voice that can bring new voices
into the democratic process and that can reach across the typical
divides in our polarized politics. With Lindy Scott, we have such
a candidate: a man of vision, leadership, faith, and good sense.
He will give voice to all the citizens of District 6, including
our growing ethnic communities. As a former pastor who both respects
life and is committed to socal justice, he will reach out to the
different commuities of faith in our District. When Lindy wins,
District 6 wins, and America wins. I am delighted to endorse him
and will work for his election." Ashley Woodiwiss, Chair,
Department of Politics and International Relations, Wheaton College

Congress. I believe that he will faithfully act on behalf of all
of his constituents' behalf, especially those who are often unrepresented

Foster Care Case Manager
"We endorse Lindy Scott for
Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. Lindy represents a
true mediating and unifying candidate for Congress in a very polarized
political period of time. He is a man of integrity and conviction
and compassion, who loves people and has a vision for creating
a more just and equitable society both locally and globally."
Gregory & Elizabeth Morrison, Residents of Wheaton
"Since knowing Lindy Scott,
I have encountered him as a professor, a churchman, a mentor,
and as a friend. In each of these areas, Lindy has demonstrated
the highest levels of integrity, thoughtfulness, and compassion.
His zeal for justice has challenged and inspired countless college
students (myself included) during his tenure as a professor. I
can think of no-one who would make a better Congressional Representative.
It is a privilege to endorse his candidacy." Joshua Eley-McClain,
World Hunger Relief, Inc.

U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois! I believe Lindy
embodies the values that this country should strive to follow."
Erin Fitzgerald, Caris Pregnancy Clinics, Events Coordinator,
Elmhurst
"Lindy is an informed, wise,
and compassionate human being. He is principled and consistent,
positive and constructive, caring and giving. He is sympathetic
and willing humbly to listen to the views of others. His understanding
of matters of culture and cross-cultural relations is developed
and particularly vital in our times. His vision of a "seamless
garment" of policies that "promote and cherish life"
and the "well being of all" is broad and rich and is
a needed contribution to our government's and our society's discussion
of a range of pressing issues." Jon Laansma, Professor of
Ancient Languages and New Testament, Wheaton College
"Professor Lindy Scott has
been a mentor and role model to many in the Wheaton College community
as well as in Argentina and Mexico, including me, as one of his
Spanish students. He is one of the most genuine, energetic, knowledgeable
and compassionate persons that I have ever met. It is reassuring
and uplifting that he would choose to run for Congress and would
want to put all of his experience, intelligence and wonderful
spirit into this position where he could serve thousands of people.
So, of course, I endorse him!" Kim Melnychenko , Public Library
Education Program Assistant
"It is surprising and very
welcome to find combined in one candidate a long history of public
significant accomplishment undergirded by deep principles in an
articulate yet approachable guy. I believe Lindy Scott would and
could take care of what really needs to be done in our country."
Dan Bailey, Precinct Committeeman, Past President, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, Division 184
"In today's culture where principles
are spoken of as either Democrat or Republican it is encouraging
to find a person that reflects in both his words and actions fundamental
biblical values. Lindy Scott embodies the radical synthesis of
both Democratic and Republican standards ranging from his Pro-Life
stance to his commitment to social justice and programs that promote
and respect human life in its entirety. As a Wheaton College professor
and mentor his convictions have shaped many students who in turn
have gone into the workplace to promote and celebrate human life.
As a teacher the lessons learned in his classroom and office have
inspired me to seek ways to serve my neighbor. Lindy Scott will
employ his talents and convictions to ensure that democracy and
politics does not become stagnant or elitist. Rather he will represent
and defend the values and needs of his community and maintain
his commitment to human life and justice as he pursues change
in Congress. It is encouraging to find a candidate that does not
seek to implement his own agenda, but rather wants to collaborate
with individuals and communities to improve the quality of life
in this country." Jose Celis, Middle School Teacher, Addison
"I enthusiastically endorse
Dr. Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th district of Illinois.
Here is a man who humbly, yet confidently chooses to look at each
critical issue facing all the peoples of the United States with
serious reflection, careful consideration and transparent integrity.
Lindy provides us with a refreshing choice of a candidate who
demonstrates a responsible depth of commitment to justice, equality
and freedom in such a way that helpfully breaks through typically
partisan frameworks. Lindy will listen attentively to his constituency,
and will prove to be one of the most accessible politicians of
our time. He is a cherished and favored professor among students
for his warm and gentle demeanor, his patient and attentive ear,
and his joyful charisma. He is a man deeply aware of the wide
range of needs facing the 6th district, particularly able to relate
with persons from a diversity of cultures and ethnicities. He
is widely travelled, but at the same time deeply committed to
justice, peace and equality here in the United States. This is
an opportunity for us to choose a candidate of unparalleled integrity--a
quality so rare in today's society. What Lindy says he believes,
he acts upon. What Lindy does is always founded upon serious and
critical reflection. I'm delighted to endorse such a candidate!"

"I, Chimena Kabasenche, am
a mother of two children. I am a freelance editor and poet. My
husband, Bill Kabasenche, and I endorse Lindy Scott for Congress
because he is a man of great compassion and integrity. He has
pursued academic scholarship well. He seeks out relationships
with people. He wants people to live better lives, and he takes
the time to listen to them and to minister to them. He is not
afraid to invest and give what it takes to make someone healthy
or happy. He lives by the words of Jesus: 'It is more blessed
to give than to receive.' We want him in Congress because he will
minister to people and help the United States keep the value of
compassion. He will do his job responsibly and with joy."
Chimena and Bill Kabasenche
"Lindy will provide a breath
of much needed fresh air to a political system that will be incapable
of pigeon-holeing him. Because of this, the media will be fascinated
with him, and he should have no trouble generating the publicity
and raising the money that is needed for the growing voice of
progressive orthodox Christianity that he represents. This race
provides a tremendous chance for the nation to watch two competing
paradigms of what constitutes Christian views of justice and mercy
in action. Lindy will be an incredible congressmen not only for
our district, but for the entire nation as he provides an alternate
to the banal sound-bite politics with which we are currently saddled."
Dr. Peter K. Walhout, Professor of Chemistry, Wheaton College

"I endorse Lindy Scott for
US Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. I have known Lindy
as a colleague at work and as a fellow church member and I have
high regard for his integrity and his heart for service. He would
bring to congress a gracious spirit and an ability to ask the
most important questions on key issues. He is not beholden to
any interest group and is not motivated by power, prestige or
money. I believe he will serve all of us in the 6th district very
well and be a respected voice in Washington DC." Jim Halteman,
Professor of Economics/Business, Wheaton College
"Dr. Lindy Scott is a man of
integrity and character who would provide needed perspective,
balance, and insight to congress. I strongly endorse Lindy Scott
for congress from the 6th district of Illinois." Naomi Haynes,
PhD student, UCSB
"This is to declare our support
for you, Lindy Scott, in your aspirations to represent your district
in the United States Congress. We do this on the basis of many
years of personal knowledge of your years of service, not only
to the local and college community, but also to the needs and
aspirations of the Third World. Your self-sacrificial service
to and profound understanding of the love of the people of other
lands for our citizens, and the challenge this presents for a
just and truly helpful foreign policy in Washington, makes you
a uniquely qualified representative in our government. This is
indeed the right moment to have you, a consistently pro-life Democrat,
in Washington to work for justice with a broad understanding of
the urgent issues that confront us as Christians and as a nation."
Sidney and Mae Rooy, Missionaries in Latin America from 1965 to
2000, Christian Reformed Church of North America

kind of thoughtful voice of faith and reason we need in Congress

6th District." Marissa Sabio, ESL Instructor - People's Resource
Center, Resident of Wheaton
"I would like to take this
opportunity to endorse Dr. Scott as a candidate for U.S. Congress,
Illinois District 6. Being a student of Dr. Scott's was not only
an entertaining and memorable experience, but he opened my eyes
to a new way of viewing the underserved of our nation and, even
more broadly, our world. He consistently challenges his classes
to seek a deeper understanding of the politics shaping the world.
He encourages his students to view current issues from every angle
possible, and is only satisfied when the proposed solution takes
into equal consideration each group involved. In short, Dr. Scott
instilled in me a new way of viewing democracy, a democracy that
forced me out of my comfort zone and into reality. So thank you,
Dr. Scott." Claire Bennett, Medical Student, University of
Arkansas Medical School
"Lindy Scott is passionate

see a candidate who is a balanced, common-sensed progressive Christian!

you!" Erin Zimmerman, Mental Health Professional, WilPower
Inc.
"Lindy brings a combination
of energy and experience in public service that few people can.
In political campaigns I'm often frustrated by a whole slate of
candidates with stock answers and catch phrases. In contrast Lindy
offers a platform consistently and carefully informed by the care
of our neighbor relevant to the diverse communities of district
six." Pete Stewart, Americorps, Chicago
"I endorse Lindy Scott for
Congress from the 6th district of Illinois. At a time when partisan
bickering seems as offputting and strong as ever and fresh ideas
- and faces - seem nowhere to be found, Lindy is the right man
for the job. I have seen firsthand his genuine care and concern
for others, especially the weak and downtrodden. I know he will
seek to do what he believes is best and right, regardless of whose
toes he may be stepping on. These are unique characteristics -
characteristics I believe are much needed in Washington today.
Go Lindy!" Andy Sprunger, Resident of Wheaton

people of Illinois need in Washington." Steve Bergfield,
Assistant to the President, Loyola University Chicago

candidate like Lindy Scott for a long time - a man of tremendous

for him!" Dr. Timothy Larsen, Professor at Wheaton College

U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. I am behind him

values and convictions, with a compelling social vision for this
country and the world we are part of. He is also a wise and humble
leader." Douglas Stewart, Staff Member of Intervarsity Christian
Fellowship
"I, Ryan Juskus, an alumnus
of Wheaton College, endorse Lindy Scott for Congress from the
6th district of Illinois. I do so because I have known Lindy for
4 years as a professor, a counselor and a friend. I believe that
Lindy Scott has a passion to serve his fellow citizens and the
integrity to do so without succumbing to 'politics as usual.'
He is a leader on the Wheaton College campus who challenges students
to live rightly and justly in order that others may also live.
I believe he will challenge our national government to do the
same." Ryan Juskus, Recent College Graduate, Wheaton College
"I endorse Lindy Scott for
Congress from the 6th district of Illinois. I agree strongly with
his political stance and his dedication to serving the underserved
through the government. His cross-cultural experience would be
an invaluable attribute for a congressman of Illinois. Scott is
a selfless individual who cares deeply about community issues
on all levels." John Humphrey, Medical Student
"I endorse Lindy Scott for
Congress from the 6th district of Illinois. During my time as
a student at Wheaton College, I had the pleasure of learning from
Lindy Scott. His thoughtful perspective on issues of social justice
inevitably left me with a new idea to ponder after each class.
After graduating from Wheaton College, I spent some time on Capitol
Hill, and came away frustrated by the partisan, often self-serving
mentality I found there. Lindy Scott is a thoughtful, honest,
humble, and compassionate man, and the 6th District of Illinois,
as well as the nation as a whole, would greatly benefit should
he be elected to Congress." Megan Reamer, Administrator,
Cesar Chavez Public Charter School for Public Policy, Washington
DC
"Lindy Scott has always impressed
me over the years as someone who has the incredible ability to
"keep many balls in the air" at the same time. I have
known him on both sides of the US/Mexican border as a pastor,
professor, publisher and prophet. I wholeheartedly support his
quest to add a fifth "p" to his resume as the next congressperson
from the 6th district of IL." Daniel C. Swanson, Educator,
Mexico
"I whole heartedly endorse
Lindy Scott to represent the 6th District in Illinois on the U.S.
Congress. I have known Lindy for nearly 30 years and value both
his character and insight into issues affecting public policies.
He has had extensive experience outside of the U.S. and is fluent
in Spanish. Should he be elected, he would be a valuable asset
to the U.S. Congress and would represent his constituency with
wisdom and integrity." Dr. Peter E. Payne, Campus Minister
at the University of Michigan, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
"I endorse Lindy Scott for
Congress from the 6th district of Illinois. His dedication to
individuals; his education, knowledge and experience in dealing
with foreign and domestic policy; and his earnest desire to serve
residents of the sixth district of Illinois make him an ideal
candidate for Congress. His academic background allows him an
attention to detail and unique familiarity with US policy . Yet,
his diverse experiences in South, Central, and North America provide
him with experience and relationships that truly prepare him for
congressional service: Dr. Scott's decades of service to the evangelical
church, to underprivileged families throughout the world, and
to students in the US and abroad offer him a perspective very
few politicians can offer our government. His key strengths include
a commitment to hearing and knowing those whom he serves, a creative
approach to problem-solving, effective communication skills, and
a firm sense of personal integrity, fiscal responsibility, and
social justice. Perhaps most importantly, Lindy Scott's service
will be marked by the contributions of hundreds of individuals
previously uninvolved in politics, as he makes space for the diverse
voices of Illinois' sixth district to be heard. Voters would be
remiss to overlook the compassion, integrity, and earnest service
that Dr. Scott offers as he runs for Congress in 2006." Wren
Blessing, Recent College Graduate, Wheaton College
"Congress needs men and women
like Lindy Scott who are good stewards of our resources and who
are concerned for both the downtrodden of our own country and
for those abroad suffering from political, social, or economic
oppression. Lindy will bring a balanced local, national and global
perspective to Congress. I admire Lindy's wisdom and discernment,
and I enthusiastically support his campaign. Congress needs people
like Lindy in order to make informed and just decisions."
Lori Sommars, resident of Wheaton
"I have known Lindy for more
than 30 years. I have looked up to him during my growing years
and I have had the privilege to be married by him as well. He
embodies Jesus Christ like attributes. He is wise, truthful, and
filled with integrity. He is a kind and warm man, promotes diversity
and not afraid to tackle difficult issues. He is the voice of
reason and challenges people to sharp thinking. It is an honor
to stand by his side." Warren Habib, HSBC-Senior Director
of Planning & Analysis

we need in politics--a moral conservative concerned about social
justice. I've been looking for candidates like this for years.
He has my clear and full support." Lisa McMinn, Chair, Sociology
and Anthropology Department, Wheaton College

for Congress from the 6th district of Illinois. I know Mr. Scott
from my time as a student at Wheaton College where he taught Spanish.

students and to student affairs in general despite a busy teaching
schedule. I believe he will demonstrative this same commitment

state." Jason Bloyer, Community Investment Corporation

Medical Student
"As a voter who has grown cynical
of our government's ability to implement change that will improve
the lives of its people, I am excited to see someone like Dr.
Lindy Scott running for office. Dr. Scott cares about people.
He seeks to dialogue and hear what others have to say. I have
always been impressed at how he not only seeks to be understood,
but more importantly he seeks to understand those around him.
Dr. Scott does not shy away from difficult issues, but confronts
them head on with a healthy balance of passion and realism. He
is neither naive, nor cynical. We need men like Dr. Scott in Washington
D. C. Men who are willing to choose others over themselves. There
is no doubt in my mind that Congress would benefit from Dr. Scott's
honesty, integrity, and committment to serving people." Gustave
David Woerner Jr., Grounds Crew, Wheaton College

beliefs, cultures and political leanings will serve him well in
his Congressional decisions." Andru Bemis, Musician &
Songwriter
"I endorse Lindy Scott for
U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. As my professor
and mentor at Wheaton College, Dr. Scott gave me a reason to be
interested in politics as he showed our classes the effects that
political decisions have on immigrants and on the poor in our
country. He opened my eyes to Democratic ideas that promote justice
and fairness which I, as a Republican, had never considered. I
believe that Dr. Scott would be a representative of Jesus Christ
in Congress, and I would whole-heartedly cast my vote in his direction!"

Florida

in your campaign and will send my check to support your drive
to victory. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for running."

"I am a student at Wheaton
College. Dr. Scott was a professor and mentor of mine, and I was
deeply impacted by his broad perspective on social issues and
his deep concern for issues of social justice on behalf of underprivileged
and minority groups. His influence led me to take on a Spanish
major, and I have a long-term interest in bilingual education
programs for Mexican immigrants. I believe that Dr. Scott's influence
in congress would be beneficial for the 6th district, and that
his valuable perspectives are much needed." Daniel Burnett,
Student, Wheaton College
