"A country without a memory is a country of madmen."
-George Santayana
It is imperative that we remember our history, and historical sites are an important way to accomplish this. It is partly the State Government's responsibility to see that history is made accessible to the masses. To close down so many historical landmarks is completely and totally unacceptable.
I support this petition. These are priceless educational resources which must be preserved for our children. Only by learning from the past can we hope to create a better future for ourselves and future generations.
I support this petition. History is vital to maintain and we should all help save historical sites for future generations. They say our county's education system is struggling well history is part of it how can we expect to improve education by destroying sites that provide visual teaching
I support this petition. Politics is legal money laundering, and knowing history will help shape our future, we must look to the past to influence our future positivly. If we understand our past, we can understand our present and plan our future wisely
I support this petition. As a history major, this makes me angry. History is supposed to be revered, not discarded like a piece of trash along side the highway.
I support this petition. As a lover of history, I believe that these timeless relics shouldn't be cast aside because of poor management in the political arena.
It is because of historic places like Lincoln's home and the official government buildings in Springfield that make me want to become a history teacher. DO NOT DESTROY OUR HISTORY BECAUSE WE'RE CORRUPT!!!!!!
