Governor Rod Blagojevich of Illinois was arrested today, Tuesday,
December 9, 2008. Blagojevich was regularly mentioned in the same
sentence as Tony Rezko, Stuart Levine and Obama during the Rezko
trial. It has long been suspected that blagojevich and possibly
Obama would be indicted and Blagojevich narrowly missed being recalled
in the IL legislature. The Citizen Wells blog has provided many articles
on Rod Blagojevich, his ties to crime and corruption in Chicago and
Illinois and Obama and Rezko.

Here are some interesting articles on Rod Blagojevich:
From the Petition to Impeach, expel Senator Obama:
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama used the office of IL Senator to
facilitate the vote rigging in Chicago as chairman of the Illinois Senate
Health and Human Services Committee. Mr. Obama pushed legislation in Senate Bill
1332 to reduce the number of members of the Health Facilities Planning Board
from 15 to 9. Mr. Obama did conspire with Stuart Levine, Tony Rezko and
Rod Blogojevich to rig the committee and was rewarded with campaign
contributions. The new members appointed included 3 doctors who contributed to
Mr. Obama. On April 21, 2004, Stuart Levine explicitly advised Dr. Robert Weinstein,
who is now indicted, of Tony Rezko’s role in manipulating the Planning Board’s vote.
