U.S. Rep. John Shimkus announced his intention to seek re-election to the 19th Congressional District, which includes parts of Springfield, today via a series of videos released on his Web site.I guess lying is one of those principles. Or maybe it reflects "integrity and personal responsibility".
“Faith, family, integrity and personal responsibility … those are the values I work every day to represent in Washington, D.C. And they are the reason I ask again for your trust and your support in this campaign for Congress,” Shimkus said in the videos. “To me, real leadership means standing strong for the principles that I'm convinced we share in central and southern Illinois.”

You might remember that he ran for Congress the first time in 1996 pledging no more than 6 terms (12 years). Well, according to the SJ-R, Shimkus is running in 2008.
