1359	1359	8 There are basic principles of decency, honesty, and fair
1360	1360	9 play that every candidate for public office in the State of
1361	1361	10 Illinois has a moral obligation to observe and uphold, in
1362	1362	11 order that, after vigorously contested but fairly conducted
1363	1363	12 campaigns, our citizens may exercise their constitutional
1364	1364	13 right to a free and untrammeled choice and the will of the
1365	1365	14 people may be fully and clearly expressed on the issues.
1366	1366	15 THEREFORE:
1367	1367	16 (1) I will conduct my campaign openly and publicly, and
1368	1368	17 limit attacks on my opponent to legitimate challenges to his
1369	1369	18 record.
1370	1370	19 (2) I will not use or permit the use of character
1371	1371	20 defamation, whispering campaigns, libel, slander, or
1372	1372	21 scurrilous attacks on any candidate or his personal or family
1373	1373	22 life.
1374	1374	23 (3) I will not use or permit any appeal to negative
1375	1375	24 prejudice based on race, sex, sexual orientation, religion or
1376	1376	25 national origin.

1390	1390	3 creating or exploiting doubts, without justification, as to
1391	1391	4 the personal integrity or patriotism of my opposition.
1392	1392	5 (5) I will not undertake or condone any dishonest or
1393	1393	6 unethical practice that tends to corrupt or undermine our
1394	1394	7 American system of free elections or that hampers or prevents
1395	1395	8 the full and free expression of the will of the voters.
1396	1396	9 (6) I will defend and uphold the right of every qualified
1397	1397	10 American voter to full and equal participation in the
1398	1398	11 electoral process.
1399	1399	12 (7) I will immediately and publicly repudiate methods and
1400	1400	13 tactics that may come from others that I have pledged not to
1401	1401	14 use or condone. I shall take firm action against any
1402	1402	15 subordinate who violates any provision of this Code or the
1403	1403	16 laws governing elections.
1404	1404	17 I, the undersigned, candidate for election to public
1405	1405	18 office in the State of Illinois or chair of a political
