  <blurb>Dear Friends,&lt;p&gt;
In just four days, Illinois voters have a rare opportunity.  In the Saturday March 8th special election to replace former Speaker Dennis Hastert, they can be among the first voters in the nation to &lt;b&gt;cast aside the politics of more-of-the-same and vote for change&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;img src="http://www.foster08.com/obama2.jpg" height="299" alt="obama2.jpg" width="419" /&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 
In a new TV ad launching for my campaign today, I&amp;#39;m proud to announce that Illinois Senator Barack Obama has joined the growing number of Republicans, Independents, and Democrats from across my district who&amp;#39;ve become fed up with Washington&amp;#39;s failures and are calling for change. &lt;p&gt; 
 
You can watch Barack Obama&amp;#39;s new ad for me&amp;mdash;&amp;quot;The Change We Need&amp;quot;&amp;mdash;below:&lt;p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;
With Senator Obama supporting our message of change, we now need your help to keep that message on the air.
 &lt;p&gt;
Voters in this Saturday&amp;#39;s special election will face a stark choice: between Republican Jim Oberweis&amp;mdash;who agrees with George W. Bush on &amp;quot;almost everything&amp;quot;&amp;mdash;and me, Bill Foster, a businessman and scientist who will fight for a new direction in Washington alongside Barack Obama.
&lt;p&gt;
Like Senator Obama, I&amp;#39;ll work to end to politics-as-usual.  I&amp;#39;ll fight to bring our troops home from Iraq and keep jobs right here in America.  I&amp;#39;ll be on the front lines standing up for children&amp;#39;s health insurance and universal health care.  
&lt;p&gt;
With your help, on this Saturday, March 8, Illinoisans will join together and send a message to Washington politicians that business-as-usual has ended.
 &lt;p&gt;
Thank you for your support.
&lt;p&gt;
Bill Foster
