I support this petition. I can't believe that anyone would consider closing such great historical sights that spent many years and lots of tax money to build/rebuild so everyone could enjoy. I hope this is reconsidered so everyone can continue to learn and use them for years to come.
I support this petition. I cannot imagine, with the Lincoln Bicentennial coming up in February 2009 (just 5 months away) why he would close these sites?
I completely support this petition. Please preserve the Vandalia Capitol building. Abe Lincoln served there and it is important for the former capitol of Illinois to be preserved for U.S. History. We cannot toss aside historical buildings and history itself like we do junk mail. Vandalia is my hometown but much of my professional life I have lived in the deep south. Believe me, we really needed to win that Civil War.
