Chicago – Victor Forys, M.D. unveiled his immigration program at a press conference  today in Chicago.

„The U.S. Immigration system is broken. We should have a rational immigration policy that is not racist. Far too often people of color are singled out and persecuted..” said Dr. Victor Forys.

Dr. Victor Forys immigrated to the United States with his family when he was four years old and grew up in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago.  He understands first hand the plight of immigrant families who are new to this country.

„Our nation needs workers. Other countries in the world are dealing with depopulation. Thankfully, the U.S. population is growing. We need an immigration system that allows good, hardworking people to come to our country and become productive members of our society and our economy. We need a comprehensive immigration solution that will reform the entire system, not just one piece at a time. People should be treated with dignity. Since September 11th, some immigration authorities have become unreasonable and unfair towards travelers entering this country,” said Dr. Forys. Dr. Victor Forys unveiled the rest of his plan and outlined it at his Saturday press conference. […]

Dr. VIctor Forys today unveiled his new posters meant to pay homage to Roman Pucinski, the late great Chicago Polish political leader.

The title of the new Forys poster is „Victor Forys Pays Homage to Roman Pucinski” and it is a homage to the great old Democratic party posters of the past that showcased Roman Pucinski.

Unlike the posters for Sara Feigenhotz, Mike Quigley,and John Fritchey, Victor Forys’ posters have a unique style and artistic value that are lacking in most contemporary campaign posters.

The originality of Dr. Forys’ message, media, and campaign has catapulted him into first place in early voting in the IL-5 congressional district.

Getting Our Economy Moving Again

We must get our economy back on track. The economic strength of the United States is our greatest asset and we must do all that we can to strengthen our economy and get people back to work. Our country is in an economic downturn the likes of which we have not seen since the Great Depression. Our businesses, small and large, are struggling. Employees of these companies are feeling the effects – lower wages, reduced hours or even layoffs.

Dr. Forys knows what it takes to run a business and he knows the challenges that business owners face every day. Dr. Forys is a physician and manages a large medical clinic with his wife and other doctors. Doctors are small business people who have to manage budgets, make payrolls and create jobs. Being in business is hard work and it has taught Victor a lot – and it is getting harder.

Victor Forys believes that we must pass a stimulus plan, help our small businesses grow and reduce the cost of health care. Health care is an economic issue and we cannot fix our economy long-term without addressing our health care crisis.

Dr. Victor Forys Leads All Candidates in Early Voting for IL-5 Congressional Seat To Replace Emmanuel.

According to an analysis done by Polish News of early voters who have voted in the fifth congressional district, over 25% of the voters are ethnic Polish surnames and first names and were identified by Polish News as Dr. Forys voters using sophisticated voter ID software.

It was observed by a certain disgruntled and grumpy worker for another campaign that „too many Polish people are coming out to the polls” for early voting. There was a line outside the doors of Wright College on the last day of early voting and the only language that could be heard being spoken was Polish.

With 12 candidates in the race to replace Rahm Emmanuel, maintaining 25% through the end of of voting on Tuesday will help Victor Forys achieve victory in this upcoming election.  Dr. Forys asked everyone that believes in change, reform, and overthrowing the Chicago machine to go to www.VictorForUs.com.

Gregory Akko: Jest Pan kandydatem na stanowisko Kongresmena USA z 5-go dystryktu w stanie Illinois. Kampania wyborcza zbliża się do końca, a prawybory – te z wcześniejszym głosowaniem – już kończą się. Co Pana skłoniło do podjęcia odważnej decyzji o ubieganie się o tak poważne polityczne stanowisko?

Victor Foryś: Jestem demokratą od urodzenia w Polsce, a część wykształcenia przypadło na Gdańsk – kolebkę „Solidarności”. Pragnę reprezentować ponad 620 tysięcy (345 tys. zarejestrowanych wyborców) mieszkańców 5-go dystryktu, w tym 111 tys. (17%) Amerykanów polskiego pochodzenia w kongresie USA. Rosnące niezadowolenie w społeczeństwie do polityków i sytuacji ekonomiczno-gospodarczej, przyśpieszyło moją decyzje.

Praktykuję jako lekarz już 25-lat, a z roku na rok coraz więcej ludzi traci ubezpieczenia, natomiast wydatki na służbę zdrowia niewspółmiernie rosną. W 2008 roku narodowe wydatki na zdrowie wzrosły o 6.9%, były o dwa razy większe od stopy inflacyjnej. Wydano $2.4 trillion (US) lub $7,900.00 na osobę. W 2008 roku składka zdrowotnego ubezpieczenia wzrosła o 5% (premium) i średnio dla rodziny składającej się z czterech osób, trzeba było zapłacić $12,700.00. Roczna składka ubezpieczenia zdrowotnego na jedną osobę wynosiła średnio $4,700.00. W każdym roku około 1.5 miliona rodzin traci domy, które przejmowane są przez banki (co stanowi 50% bankructw), w wyniku nieuregulowanych medycznych rachunków. W Stanach Zjednoczonych ok. 48 milionów mieszkańców nie posiada ubezpieczenia zdrowotnego, bo ich nie stać na to. Czas najwyższy na zmiany.
