@shestokas IS The Grabowski

"There are teams that are fair-haired, and those that aren't so fair-haired. Some teams are named Smith, some Grabowski. We're Grabowskis."

~ Mike Ditka, Head Coach of the Chicago Bears, January 1986

2) We're going to dive right into politics. If you want the story - and it is a GREAT one! - behind Ditka's so-politically incorrect claim, do Czech out this article (did you see what I did there?).

3) My people - you know, the Scopellitiskis - are from the South Side of Chicago. I know the Grabowskis. They're rough, ready, hard-driving, hard-working, hard-drinking, hard-patriots. You do NOT disrespect America around them. They'll give you what for. Seriously.

4) And I know why the Grabowskis ended up on the South Side of Chicago. Same reason my grandfather Pasquale did. Work. He worked IN the yards, the yards of the Santa Fe Railroad. But, he lived in the BACK of the yards, the ghettos that rimmed the largest trainyards in the world.

5) I suspect that @shestokas' family was smarter than ours. Rather than working for the yards, his family sold beer to the rest of us. Now, my grandfather was a Pabst man. So, Shestokas having sold Schlitz, I don't know if they'd have crossed paths or not. No matter.

6) @shestokas sold his first case of beer at age 5, and over the decades had to have been in half of Chicago's then 4,500 taverns and liquor stores with deliveries. He supplied picnics and parties as soon as he got his driver's license. Now that's true Grabowski stuff.

7) What’s more, and more important, and here’s the politics of it…he is a COOK COUNTY GUY. He speaks the language. He knows the people and the neighborhoods. And he is EXACTLY what the Republican Party NEVER brings to the table. They bring Smiths, not Grabowskis.

8) Now why might that be? Why do the Republicans so happily lose with Smiths, when it would so obviously take a Grabowski to win? The answer is equally obvious. The Republicans couldn't care less about Grabowskis any more than they care about winning.

9) By the way, while the normal Grabowski is nominally a Democrat, note that word, "nominally." It basically means it's just a name, a label. And sure, when they vote, that's how they tend to vote. But note that word, "tend." They do NOT trust the Democrat machine. They're smart.

10) If they could trust a Republican, knowing that he stood for them, and for real law and order, and would not sell his power to highest bidder, the Grabowskis would come out and vote in force. In fact, I predict they will. They're voting for their guy, @shestokas.

11) Let's talk about that, seriously. What did we learn in 2016? We learned a lot. One thing we learned was that a candidate who speaks from his heart to the people can win their support. That's what Trump did. And he brought out voters no one knew voted.

12) We also learned that rallies rally votes. I couldn't count the number of times I read or heard or debated whether or not rally goers would show up at the polls to vote. "Have you watched a rally," I always asked. "No." "Watch one and then you tell me," I'd sardonically reply.

13) Grabowskis love parties. Beer selling @shestokas knows how to party. His people will come. And vote. But let's turn to Brexit for another lesson learned. Find the hidden voter. That's precisely what @shestokas' Grabowskis are. They're hidden, but not for much longer!

14) That's where YOU come in. You, and just $27 if you can find it in your heart to help us. This weekend, we need ONLY 20 of you to sign on and help, as we need to reach 60,000 voters digitally. Yep. $27 for 3,000 digital outreaches. Just 20 of you.

15) @shestokas and his team of digital wizards not only know exactly how to reach every Grabowski, they have ascertained that they need - don't ask me why! - ONLY 60,000 such outreaches this weekend, these days before the primary on June 28.

16) In case you think, "Self, why would I contribute $27 to a candidate for Illinois AG when I don't even live in Illinois?" I have answers I've written up for you, already. This really is a national contest. Illinois matters that much. I'll give you the links below...
