The Times, They are a Changin'

In the words of Bob Dylan, “The times, they are a changin’.”

• As I write this, 100,000 people are attending a rally in St. Louis in support of Barack Obama.
  
• More than 60,000 Indiana residents cast absentee ballots in the first week of early voting.
  
• Illinois is seeing record turnouts in early voting. In suburban Cook County 25,000 people have already voted.
  
• On the first day of early voting North Carolina more than 100,000 voted.
  
• In Georgia, more then 540,000 people have already voted, 37 percent of whom are African Americans.

Everywhere I look there is something to celebrate. Today in Racine, WI over 150 people went out to canvas in an early “Get out the Vote” effort. People walked in to the Racine headquarters from the local neighborhood and drove all the way from Chicago. People walked and called and volunteered.

People, get ready because the times, they are a changin’.
