Meanwhile, at “Symphony at the Park”… Pat Quinn… gathers signatures. He seems a bit oblivious that people are trying to escape from politics right now… Scoffs at people when they say no.

You know he was actually saying one or both of these things:
“Make the will of the people the law of the land”
or
“Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and organize!”

He may be kinda irrelevant, but you gotta hand it to him, the guy is dedicated. Most former Illinois governors go to jail, Quinn goes back to grassroots organizing. I gotta respect that.
