Illinois for Kerry Meetings Held Throughout State

Seasoned Volunteers together with Campaign staff led by State Director, Avis LaVelle, fanned out across the State of Illinois on both Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 11-12. The goal was to rev up activities in Springfield, Rockford, Rock Island, East Metro, Peoria and Champaign.

The meetings resembled Meetups with break-out sessions on house parties, voter registration, phone-banking and travelling to battleground States.

In many places, these activities were already well underway. This gave the visitors much encouragement. Even in places where things were just getting started, people were determined to do all they could to make sure that John Kerry gets elected.
