Dear Secretary Vilsack:
I write today to recommend several people for Department of Agriculture (USDA) jobs in my home state of Illinois. I appreciate your consideration of these well qualified individuals for USDA – Illinois positions.
Rural Development
I recommend Colleen Callahan Burns of Kickapoo, Illinois, for State Director of Rural Development. Colleen has been a respected voice for Illinois agriculture for more than 30 years. Colleen, a University of Illinois graduate, raises purebred Angus cattle on her family farm in Peoria County. She is an award winning farm broadcaster who remains active in animal agriculture and in her community.

Just a comment. I don't personally know Colleen Callahan (Democrat) but I did see one of her ads on the local public TV station when she was running for the Congressional seat against Aaron Schock (Republican) and Sheldon Schafer (Green party). As the viewer looked at her face toward the end of the ad, a rectangular box appeared around her eyes. This appeared to be an attempt at a subliminal message that did not work on my satellite TV. Perhaps other candidates are also using this technique but this ad was quite obvious. Apparently the new HDTV has not worked out all the kinks. I personally consider this a form of brainwashing and thought it would be illegal. I guess anything goes thanks to Bush and company. The Democrats seem to think these tactics are useful so I guess we will all be professionally brainwashed in the future. I'd rather that people who use these tactics NOT lead our country.
