A few posts back I wrote about campaign travel. I thought I would break from my usual informative style and mention a few things that those traveling with the campaign have noticed in their travels.
The campaign manager mentioned to me that there are so many areas of Illinois that she did not know about. She said, "Sauk Valley is a place I had no idea existed, and is a beautiful place to live. Molin, which is right by the Iowa boarder has very educated people. Washington Illinois is a very nice progressive town not a lot of people know about."
Kathleen Thomas has noted several times " Illinois is known for dirty politics and corruption. We are better than that." Travel has made the campaign even more aware that not only are we(the people of Illinois) better than that, but we deserve better than that. Kathleen Thomas often remarks in her campaign stops that Illinois is full of honest, hardworking, caring people.
I wish I could travel with the campaign, but as I am at school thousands of mile away it is not possible. The campaign notices what a great place Illinois is and if nothing else all the campaign travel has made them aware of how great, beautiful and diverse the place we live is.
