The following just popped into my inbox:

Beginning Monday, March 25, former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh will join the line-up of AM 560 The Answer in Chicago, hosting a show each weekday from 7-9pm.

“There are few politicians in Illinois or anywhere in the country that garner as much attention as Joe Walsh,” said Jeff Reisman, general manager of AM 560 The Answer.

“Joe is an outspoken defender of freedom, and because of his firsthand experience in Congress, he brings a unique perspective to the national conversation as our country searches for answers during these challenging times.”

“People kept asking me what my next step was going to be after I left office in January,” said Joe Walsh.

“We’re at a crucial point in this country, and I’m excited to take the debate right to listeners throughout Chicagoland via the airwaves.

“The radio program will be a great platform to help grow a freedom movement which is already gaining momentum right here in Illinois.

“I intend to do with this program what I did as a U.S. Congressman —

• speak plainly
• speak directly
• not worry about political correctness
• engage in respectful, engaging debate with all viewpoints.

This is just too important of a time for all of us to do anything less.”
