I used to be involved with the Ogle County Democrats. They are so backward it is not funny. They infight and they are cliquish. Their so-called chairman does not even know how to use a computer. Most of them are very elderly, and I am 65. They do not find candidates, and they do not know how to raise money. Work with some of the other county committees in the 16th district, but prepare to find apathy, and many, many repubbies. Nothing will happen, unless Kinzinger is involved in a scandal. Even that may not be enough.

I have turned my activism to other areas of the Democratic party.
