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 *********************************************** "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." "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." "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 "I endorse Lindy Scott for Congress. I believe that he will faithfully act on behalf of all of his constituents' behalf, especially those who are often unrepresented (the working poor, the Latino community, etc)." Annie Gill, 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. "I endorse Lindy Scott for 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!" Cullen Rodgers-Gates, Assistant Director, HNGR Program, Wheaton College "I give my whole hearted endorsement to Dr. Lindy Scott who has a proven track record of service to community and global organizations aimed at helping the homeless, hunger, and heartbroken." Peter Walters, Associate Professor of Kinesiology, Wheaton College "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 U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. He is more than qualified and will provide this district with compassionate, honest and sincere representation." Krista MacDonald, Physician Assistant Student, Former Resident of Carol Stream "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 "Lindy Scott represents the kind of thoughtful voice of faith and reason we need in Congress and I endorse him in his run to represent all the people of the 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 about his Christian commitment and about his involvement in affecting the political direction of his country. His education and his international experience make him a qualified person to serve in the U.S. Congress." Dr. Steven Voth, Translation Consultant, United Bible Societies "Wow! What a relief to finally see a candidate who is a balanced, common-sensed progressive Christian! Thank you for stepping up to be a voice, to represent Christ's view of compassion, fairness, and social justice. I stand behind 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 "I am very excited that a man like Lindy Scott is running for Congress. He represents what I believe the direction and the focus of our government needs to be." Catherine Norquist, Citizenship and Outreach Coordinator, World Relief Dupage-Wheaton "I am writing to wholeheartedly endorse Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. Lindy is a man of great passion, integrity and service. He is the type of prophetic, pro-life, values-based leader the people of Illinois need in Washington." Steve Bergfield, Assistant to the President, Loyola University Chicago "Lindy Scott is a trusted friend of my family. Over the years he's been a constant friend and a great encourager. He has a great passion for diversity and justice, but with a practical quality that causes him to bring about results." Leila Noelliste, Vice President of the Student Body, Wheaton College "I have been longing for a candidate like Lindy Scott for a long time - a man of tremendous personal integrity who is deeply committed to social justice. It is great to have a Democrat who really articulates what it means to be a part of a people of faith. I can't wait to vote for him!" Dr. Timothy Larsen, Professor at Wheaton College "I endorse Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. I am behind him because I know him to be a man of unquestionable integrity, deeply-held 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 "Lindy Scott is exactly what 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 "I heartily endorse Lindy Scott 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. As a professor he consistently made himself available to individual students and to student affairs in general despite a busy teaching schedule. I believe he will demonstrative this same commitment to the people of the 6th district of Illinois if elected. Mr. Scott is committed to justice and to equality in our world, and I am very excited to see what he could contribute to our fine state." Jason Bloyer, Community Investment Corporation "I am honored to endorse Dr. Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. As a professor and friend, Dr. Scott never ceased to be an encouragement to me and all who know him. He is passionate about important issues and is not afraid to stand up and say something about the injustices that he sees. I can't think of a better professional to serve in Congress than Dr. Lindy Scott." Ms. Kate Pierce, Recent College Graduate, Wheaton College "I endorse Lindy Scott for Congress from the 6th district of Illinois. Dr. Lindy Scott is dedicated to addressing institutional injustices that are oppressive to the poor and under-resourced population." Sung Heun Yoo, 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 "I endorse Lindy Scott for Congress from the 6th district of Illinois. He is a dedicated human being who enjoys serving his fellowman. He is the right man for the job." Sandra Chong-Fuller, High School Bilingual Teacher, Warrenville "I endorse Lindy Scott for US Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. Lindy has been a mentor, advisor, professor and friend since 1997, when I met him as a student at Wheaton College. I have known Dr. Scott and his family within the contexts of school, church and public life and have nothing but the highest regard for his character, thoughts and decisions. I believe he will bring a reasoned, humble voice to Congress in service of his 6th District constituents. Lindy's knowledge, understanding and genuine care for people of all faiths, 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!" -Heidi (Mann) Schroeder, Elementary Spanish Teacher, Bradenton, Florida "I endorse Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. I believe that Mr. Scott's passion for peace and justice is the key to solving the issues that face this country. I back him 100%!" Adam Law, High School English Teacher, Resident of Wheaton "As a former student of Dr. Scott, it is a delight and honor for me to endorse this campaign as he runs for Congress from the 6th District from Illinois. He is a man who understands not only American but also international needs. He is also a man of humility, compassion, faith and convictions. We need more men like him who are educated and committed to bringing change on a national level within an international context. And what a breath of fresh air to see a candidate who is pro-life in every sense of the word!" Pam Liu, Campus Minister, Peru "Lindy, the announcement of your candidacy gives me great satisfaction. We need people like you in public office. I heartily endorse you." Wayne G. Bragg, Retired Director of Human Needs and Global Resources Program, Wheaton College "I heartily support Lindy Scott's candidacy for the United States Congress. He has an important message concerning a consistent pro-life stance across the board. His experience in other cultures, coupled with his interest and writings about global issues, would bring needed balance to foreign policy considerations. I am eager to see his views receive a full hearing." Lee Joiner, Associate Professor of Violin, Wheaton College "I do not know Mr. Scott personally, but only by reputation. A good friend of mine has a friendship with him and always speaks highly of Mr. Scott and of the amazing ways he compassionately serves people in need in our community. Therefore, I endorse Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois." Heather Maynard, Resident of Wheaton "I endorse Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. I can't say enough about this candidate for Congress. He has proved to be a consistent pro-life advocate and supporter. I heartily recommend him to all who would like to see a meaningful change to the politics as usual we have seen in the past." Dr. Alvaro Nieves, Professor of Sociology, Wheaton College "I endorse Dr. Scott for Congress 6th District. Looking over his web page and later meeting him in person makes this Bull Moose Democrat more than happy to back him for congress. He has a good moral platform I like." Robert L. Jones, Former Delegate 13 Congressional District and retired Secretary, Naperville Township Democratic Organization "I endorse Lindy Scott for Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. As a former student of Dr. Scott's I can attest to his thoughtful passion, his depth of commitment and his breadth of knowledge. I could think of no better candidate for Congress for Illinois.

Blake Zachary, Graduate Student, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health "Dear Professor Scott: I am proud to say I endorse, you, Lindy Scott for U.S. Congress from the 6th District of Illinois. Your views on everything from education, to foreign and fiscal responsibilities and policies, to a strong stewardship of our environment represent something I have been dreaming of hearing from a candidate for public elected office. It is about time someone like you came along--someone who clearly understands the issues and places them in the context of the highest moral and ethical values, and who has the gift of expressing his views with an honest, clear, and fearless voice. I wish you Godspeed in your campaign and will send my check to support your drive to victory. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for running." Suzanne McInerney, Retired Book and Magazine Editor "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 |
