Recently, William Kelly penned a provocative column questioning the University of Chicago’s intentions regarding President Ronald Reagan’s only Chicago home. Read the story that unleashed attacks on Kelly from the mainstream media.

CHICAGO, Illinois, January 25, 2013 - A new Cold War is brewing here in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood and it has nothing to do with the frigid temperature.

The apartment building at 832 E. 57th Street was once the Chicago home of a boy who would become a President.

No, it’s not Barack Obama of Hawaii. It was at the apartment’s first floor window that a young Ronald Reagan looked out upon the world.

But some powerful Chicagoans are planning to demolish Reagan’s historic home. Is it politically motivated? Is Mayor Rahm Emanuel behind the move?

But it didn’t stop a young “Dutch” Reagan from dreaming.

Young Reagan would watch the horse-drawn fire engines galloping wildly down the streets to save the day and he decided that he, too, would become a firefighter. It was here, too, that he survived a bout with pneumonia – he had the fight in him even then.

You can almost imagine him skipping down these streets, playing with his brother Neil,  whose nickname was “Moon.”

What makes a man great? And what makes a great president? Historians pen large tomes about that. Every man is the sum of his experiences – his loves, his losses, his achievements, and failures. How he sees the world and how the world sees him.

And this place – this place was a part of Reagan’s formative years – what he discovered and experienced here in Chicago helped him on the way to greatness.

CHICAGO, Illinois, October 3, 2012 - (Revised October 9, 2012) An article in Monday’s Chicago Tribune exposes a well-known political reality in Illinois: political parties are for sale. In this case, it’s the Illinois GOP that’s for sale.

The buyers? Top contributors and advisers to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Isn’t that just what the doctor ordered in Illinois – a state GOP party controlled by President Obama’s former White House Chief of Staff and his wealthy donors?

Illinois conservative and Tea Party leaders must be thrilled.

This summer, Emanuel earned a not-so-special place in the hearts of pro-family voters after he tried to block the Chick-Fil-A restaurant chain’s city expansion after CEO Dan Cathy made statements in support of traditional marriage.

In his report, Tribune reporter Rick Pearson describes how cheap Illinois Republican Party assets are being snapped up by “Republican” hedge fund managers.

But who are these “Republican” hedge fund managers really?

One of them is Anne Dias-Griffin, a former executive of George Soros Fund Management. The socialist billionaire Soros isn’t exactly known for his conservative philanthropy.

Please join us.

This will not be like any Chicago Republican Organization of recent history. It is a Chicago Republican Organization that is actually committed to winning victories for conservative candidates running for statewide and countywide office.

We have many challenges in our party. We have to counter the Democrats. And, sadly, we have to counter Republicans that act like or that really are Democrats.

Lenin once said, “The best way to defeat the opposition is to lead it.” That, they have.

For anyone that wants to help build a real Republican Party in Chicago and Illinois, I am inviting you to join us.

The festivities will begin at 6:00 p.m. and you can enjoy some drinks from the cash bar and complimentary hors d’ oeuvres. A cast of Illinois conservative all-star bloggers and leaders will be joining us for a panel on liberal media bias and what we, as conservatives, can do to fight back. From Chick-Fil-A to Eric Holder, Pres. Obama, and election fraud, we will discuss the most critical issues activists need to be aware of for the 2012 election cycle.

The Chicago Republican Organization will be showing an exclusive preview of my new TV series, “America’s Instant Townhall” with conservative journalists Warner Todd Huston, constitutional expert Chad Kent, and other special guests. The series will air on ION Networks in national markets. The series premieres in late August.

We will showcase new TV ads from our national ad campaign to promote capitalism atFreeCapitalismNow.com. Our latest ad is called, “The Most Capitalist Man in the World” – a funny take on the popular Dos Equis ads.

We will also be giving an important update about our lawsuit on behalf of Republican voters in Illinois to restore direct elections of our party leaders. This is a source of corruption and we need to fight to restore these rights and others.

From story investigations to our special townhall editions, “America’s Instant Townhall” is the pulse point for the new American conversation.

From Emmy award-winning producer and DC political columnist William J. Kelly, “America’s Instant Townhall” is a blend of all things irreverent, hard-hitting, insightful, and inspiring.  Kelly leaves no stone unturned as he tackles corruption, fraud, stupidity, and abuse of power in places both obvious and unexpected.

Series premiere on Friday August 24th. Check your local listings.

ION is the largest independent TV network in the U.S.
