For anyone who will be in the Metro East this coming Saturday, the Labor Rally at the Caseyville Village Park always tends to be a big deal, with several local, state and federal candidates coming to visit. And then, there's the free food.
The park is on W. Reynolds St. in Caseyville. Take 157, which becomes N. Main St. at that part of the village. Turn northwest onto W. Reynolds Street. Cross over N. Long St. and you're there.

St. Louis Post Dispatch endorses Stover!

St. Louis Post Dispatch endorses Danny Stover (IL-19)!!
"In the Illinois 19th, which takes in a bright red swath of Illinois from Springfield southward, Rep. John Shimkus, 48, was cruising toward a sixth term until his name popped up in the investigation of the scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla. As head of the House Page Board, Mr. Shimkus confronted Mr. Foley in the fall of 2005 over one relatively innocuous e-mail to a former page. Mr. Shimkus says he had no inkling that Mr. Foley's problems went deeper. "There's a lot of guilt," he said, adding "I'm pretty clueless on people's private lives."

JFK dinner with Stover and friends
Submitted by David Kiley on Fri, 10/20/2006 - 11:06pm.[promoted by leo]
I spent this evening with my Congressional candidate, Danny Stover , along with my Senator, Dick Durbin, my Governor, Rod Blagoevich and my state Treasurer candidate Alexi Giannoulias at the Madison County Democrats JFK Dinner at the Collinsville (Rep. Shimkus' hometown) Convention Center.
The 500+ enthusistic attendees were treated to many motivational speeches. I was surrounded by 17 friends, all dedicated members of Downstate Democrats for Change, who have been working hard for Stover's campaign since April.
Tomorrow we begin our 2nd weekend of major canvassing in Madison County (21% of District 19's population). Last weekend we reached over 5400 homes with our small army of volunteers.
