There were five activists from Illinois that spent the week in Iowa to support Gov. Bill Richardson's presidential campaign.  The amazing experience proved that nothing is set in stone.  He remains a presidential candidate, quite viable, electable, in fourth place, and in New Hampshire.

Democracy for America (DFA) training is 16 hours of intensive information overload for willing (i.e., rather strange) people traveling several miles when they could spend their invaluable time doing anything else. Yet, attendees take advantage of the opportunity to understand the nuances of building and networking with grassroots activists in the skills and strategies to take back the people's control of the democratic process in a republic. Every activist attending the training has the potential to manage a state senate, city council or U.S. Congressional campaign or even become a candidate.

Springfield, Illinois, during the weekend of September 29 and 30, 2007, was the 22nd DFA training weekend in the U. S. It was also the last session on the schedule for 2007.

The consolidated elections on April 17, 2007, had two valid write-in candidates for Sub-District 1 for the Springfield Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority (SMEAA). Liam McDonnell and Judy Yeager were the write-in candidates for the autonomous eleven-member board that administers the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield, Illinois. Throughout the precincts in Sub-District 1, the voters cast their ballots for them, and the count reflected those ballots except one – Capitol Precinct 91. One of the top voting precincts in Sub-District 1 reported only one write-in vote through an absentee ballot. Local authorities appeared willing to accept zero write-in votes from voters who cast their votes in the polling place that day. Others were slightly less gullible.
