Gretchen in Jasper, Other News

I went with Gretchen to Jasper on Saturday (March 11). Gretchen spoke at a senior citizens home there and met a number of the residents afterward (pictures will be here eventually). She also was in Jasper the previous week to attend a Dubois County Democratic Party event. Jasper is a very interesting town, with a proud German heritage. We had some great German food on our way out of town at the Schnitzelbank.

I also wanted to post a couple of good articles on other blogs which mention Gretchen and the campaign.

The author of "Down With Tyranny" lauds Gretchen for having a website (and campaign) "filled with passion and idealism" and "positions on issues." (this article also appeared on the influential MyDD blog)

And this Illinois blogger has endorsed Gretchen on her page, along with progressive candidates from around the country.

We're always flattered and pleased to get endorsements from outside groups, though obviously the endorsement of 9th District Democrats is what we're really after!

Coming events: Gretchen speaks in Bloomington on March 25th at the Library. Also that week, there will be a bluegrass benefit concert to raise money for the campaign-- details coming soon! Also, Gretchen will be traveling to Dearborn County in the coming weeks.
