Rod Blagojevich, scheduled to report to federal prison this year after being sentenced to 14 years for corruption while governor, wished his supporters a happy new year on his wife’s Facebook page Sunday.
“Patti and I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year. We want to thank you for your unwavering support, for your good wishes, for your prayers and for your continued belief in me. I cannot properly express to you how much your support means to us.
“These are dark and extremely challenging times for our family. Patti, Amy, Annie and I draw strength from the love we have for each other. Your friendship and support makes us stronger and helps us feel less alone.
“Despite the adversity we face, we look to the New Year with hope. We are filing an appeal. And we trust in it. We will endure and we will persevere. Our resolve is strong because of our belief in the truth and because of our faith in God. Happy New Year and God bless you. Rod.”
