Whether you've known Robert your whole life, or have just met him recently, the same descriptive words come to all of us: integrity, common sense, driven, family man, honor, intelligent, duty, outgoing, responsible.
We would love it if you would publicly endorse Robert Dold for US Congress, and share your stories and reasons why below. While not necessary, please include a photo of yourself, or better yet, email us a video of yourself endorsing him so we may post below.
Bob seems to speak the language of many who are fed up with the tax, spend and ignore your constituents mindset that prevails in Washington. Clearly there is a call and a need for new ideas in Congress and Bob has a business mind and background that can contribute immediately.
I'm voting for Bob Dold because I like the fact that he's a small business owner and he's not a career politician, and he cares about local issues. I work part-time and I'm also a mom. My family -- my husband and my kids -- live in Arlington Heights, and we're definitely supporting Bob Dold in November.
I've known Bob and his family since law school. His love of country and strength of character is unwavering. He embodies truth, justice and the American way. The 10th District and the United States of America would be blessed to have a representative who knows how to attack the difficult decisions our country will undoubtedly face over the next several years.
I enthusiastically endorse Robert Dold to represent the 10th District of Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives. His leadership skills will deliver a strong message of fiscal discipline and common sense, and his background in small business is very timely. Dold is a remarkable choice. I look forward to working with him and having a friend in the House who shares my values and the values I believe will be a hallmark for the turn of the country at this point.
I've known Bob as both an active participant in student government at Denison and as a diligent Capital Hill staffer where we both worked for the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight after graduating. He has always impressed me with his enthusiasm, his energy and his intellect.
Robert Dold is the best choice for the 10th Congressional Race. He has put together the strongest campaign in the 10th District and is the best candidate to defeat the Democrats in November. Dold brings a strong business background and is going to Congress to restrain reckless spending. He has the chops to take on the corruption and special interests that have driven our country to fiscal catastrophe. I am impressed by Dold’s grassroots campaign and network of motivated volunteers. Dold and his volunteers are bringing new faces into Republican politics and are working hard to get out his message of fiscal conservatism, lower taxes and integrity.
I graduated from New Trier High School with Bob and strongly endorse him for Congress. Bob and I played Varsity LaCrosse for New Trier and I can honestly say Bob was a natural leader (and our captain). He was always the first guy to help a team-mate when they needed motivation or someone to talk to. I was a LaCrosse goalie and vividly remember losing a double overtime game to Lake Forest High School. I was crushed by the loss and felt at fault. Bob literally picked me up off the turf and encouraged me to hold my head high. He told me I played well and obviously tried my hardest. I feel that Bob's true colors showed themselves that day. It was natural for him to help someone that was down without thought of personal gain, but just because it was the right thing to do. Today, I am a Special Education teacher for high school students and have coached LaCrosse teams at the Varsity level. We need leaders like Bob and I encourage anyone who reads this to get behind Mr. Dold and help him win in November.
I want to join those in the Tenth Congressional District who are supporting Robert Dold for Congress. I believe Robert will represent us to the best of his ability. He will listen to the people and do the right thing for us. He has a business background and comes from a great family who are business owners. We need people who understand business to stop the runaway governemnt spending and growing Governemnt burden Washington politicians are advancing at an alarming pace. Rob has the energy and courage to stand up for us. Keep going Robert.
Bob Dold is one of the most honorable, hard working and trustworthy people that I have ever known. Bob will be an excellent Congressman and representative of Illinois.
I think Robert Dold is the best solution. Along with some Washington experience and a law degree, he has the real-life experiences to get past the nonsense and wild spending we've seen in Springfield and Washington.
As a successful business owner he knows what it takes to create jobs, hire employees and make a payroll. In talking to him, Dold understands that we don't need more regulations and more taxes. Make it easier for businesses to survive and grow, and they'll add jobs.
Robert Dold is the age of my children, and I have known him since his days as a New Trier student. I am gratified that there is a young man of his background, knowledge, understanding, experience, patriotism, maturity and deep personal integrity willing to represent us in Congress. To quote him, "Government has grown too large and must be forced to function just like a business or family, with a realistic and balanced budget." For far too long most politicians have put their own interests ahead of the needs of their constituencies, insulating themselves from the stark realities existing today! Robert, as a small businessman not a politician, intends to create jobs, lower taxes, streamline federal regulation, and provide meaningful health care reform. With his no nonsense common sense approach, he will make a difference in Washington. His motivation and mine: "The promise of a brighter future for America, for our children and grandchildren."
I am endorsing Robert Dold for Congressman from the 10th District because he is a bright, responsible businessman. This gives him the practical, real-world experience that is lacking in Washington right now. As a business owner, he understands budgets, people, and the effects of high taxes and over-regulation. His life-long commitment to scouting demonstrates his commitment and caring. He also gets high marks for communicating.
I am writing this letter because as a resident of Kenilworth, I feel that the 10th District needs a deeper insight into the character of the congressional candidates.
However, we do have a candidate that I know will represent the 10th District with honor and dignity: Robert Dold. I have known Robert Dold since I was a young boy. He mentored me as the Scoutmaster of Kenilworth Boy Scout Troop 13. He taught me about respect, honor, trust, and reverence. He showed me that honor is the only thing that cannot be taken away. He helped me to realize the worth of a hard days' labor when he offered me a job at his family's small business during high school summers. He helped me become the man I am today.
You might say that I have a biased opinion and you would be correct. But I dare you to meet Robert Dold: To hear his beliefs, to realize his logic, to recognize his values. I dare you to appreciate his love of country, family and small business. Because I am confident that if you come to know Robert Dold as I have, you too will have an unavoidable bias.

Bob will bring the type of common sense conservatism that Washington so desperately needs.
Bob is an honest, thoughtful, bright individual and in my experience a great leader. Good luck on February 2nd Bob.
Robert Dold has what it takes to represent small business in the House of Representatives. He knows first-hand how the burden of over-regulation, over-taxation, and over-litigation has caused a great strain on small businesses in the United States. Business failures are up, startup businesses are few and far between, and the climate for new hiring and growth of small businesses has never been worse. Dold brings the viewpoints that can turn this around for my children and my grandchildren.
I have always had the highest regard for Robert Dold. As a fellow classmate in high school, Robert always had a wonderful work ethic and an incredibly strong sense of duty and responsibility. I have no hesitation in giving my highest recommendation and know that he will be an excellent representative for our district and for our country.
I am pleased to endorse Robert Dold for Illinois 10th Congressional District Representative. Robert brings competence, energy, and job-creating experience to this office. It is well past time to elect more small-business leaders like Robert to Congress. Our families, our economy, and our communities depend upon job creation for their continued well-being. I am confident Robert understands this and that he will fight for our interests in Washington.
Bob is a true citizen. The 10th District would be proud to have him represent them in the US Congress.
Bob has the smarts, experience, courage and personality to be a great Congressman... and that's what we need here in Washington working for Illinois and the nation. I can attest to his patriotism, for during my eight years as a POW in Vietnam, Bob and his family were among my most loyal supporters. Shake his hand, look him in the eye... and you'll like what you see.
Dold has my support in 10th.
I'm writing in support of Robert Dold, a Republican candidate running for Congress in the 10th District. Creating jobs and getting the economy flowing again will be Robert's top priority as congressman, and as the only candidate who has experience running a small business, he knows the importance of small business to our economy better than anyone else. This experience will help him in securing our economic future-and that of the next generation.
Who we elect to represent the 10th District in congress will affect all of us. It is our responsibility to choose the candidate who will fight to bring jobs back to our area, stop the out of control spending of our government, and support strong national security. Robert is a strong supporter of Israel, and believes the U.S. and Israel must stand together as one in the face of terrorism (which, as we were reminded this past weekend, remains a very real threat).
Furthermore, Dold is the only Republican candidate who can win against the democrats in the general election. A fiscal conservative and problem solver, he is the right person and the only person to bring small business common sense thinking to Washington.
Robert has my vote this Feb. 2, and I hope he'll have yours too.
This endorsement appeared in the Northbrook Star on January 6th, 2010.
I have had the pleasure of working with Robert and have seen his professionalism and sincere care for people up-close. Robert has listened to what I and others have had to say and has had sensible solutions to issues at hand. Time is of no consequence to Robert as he has made time for me without thought to how it will affect his personal time. He takes great pride in his work and stands behind what he does. I feel with his goals and sincere concern for our country's future, he will make a wonderful Congressman and will lead this country with great pride and patriotism!
We are at one of the most critical crossroads in our nation's history. Run-away government spending, aggressive government take-over of private businesses, and hyper government regulation threatens to not only bury our children and grandchildren with crushing debt, but promises to permanently alter the very fibre of our nation. The great American economic engine, our worldwide leadership in innovation and our reliability as a strong, consistent ally overseas are in peril. We need leaders like Bob, whose broad-based experience, practical knowledge of running a business and creating good jobs, his focus on getting things done and his common sense approach to the challenges we face are all in desperate short supply in Washington. We need leaders whose positions are based on practice and not platitudes - who place the interests of the people and our country over personal power and the support of special interests. Bob Dold is such a man!! We need leaders like Bob Dold.
As Bob's pastor and friend for over thirty years, I can enthusiastically endorse his candidacy for the United States Congress. Bob is a man of maturity and experience, character and purpose. He cares about family and community as well as his country. He communicates conservative principles with an awareness of current challenges. He does this with a clarity and enthusiasm which is contagious. In short, Bob is the kind of Republican with hope and future for our party. A friend I am proud to know and work for.
Bob Dold is a very solid, ethical person who I worked with extensively during my career and wholeheartedly endorse for Congress. He will do a great job representing the 10th District.
I have known Bob for 12 plus years. He is a colleague from the pest control industry, and he is a man of character and integrity. I don't live in Illinois, but if I did, he would definitely get my vote! To everyone in the 10th District, you are very fortunate to have such a fine candidate!
