Only in this great country will you find the elected visiting your town to be held accountable and being told citizens concerns and ideas along with support for national matters. This was very timely considering all the crisis we are currently engaged in. I looked for Bobby Rush at this event but I couldn't find him. Apparently, he was busy in happyland where everything is always perfect.
