Republican U-S Senate Candidate Mark Kirk was at the Altorfer Cat Rental Store in East Peoria today picking up a business endorsement. During his remarks Kirk said Congress should support President Obama's call to pass the U.S.-South Korea Free Trade Agreement to help companies like Caterpillar expand exports, create jobs and raise incomes. Congressman Kirk is running against Democratic State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias in the November General Election.
