I support this petition. Those who don't learn our history are doomed to repeat it. How can we teach our kids our history when the people we have charged with running our state are taking our history away from us?? Our elected officials have the responsibility of finding alternative solutions to problems when the general public disagrees with the solutions that are offered. Closing the state's historic sites and parks is one solution I disagree with completely!!
Next year is the big anniversary for Lincoln and Illinois is throwing away a golden opportunity for increased tourism by being petty and mean-spirited. These Historical sights don't just belong to the govenor, they belong to the people. Keep them open.
I support this petition. I may have signed it twice because I have signed a petition for our Clinton Illinois historic site that is being threatened so if this is my second signiture I apologize but all of these sites mean so much to me...please don't take the history from our children.
