Dan Burke is a white Illinois Congressman, whose seat is being challenged by Rudy Lozano, a Mexican American from Little Village. The majority of the people in Dan Burke's constituency are hispanic, which is why some people think it will be hard for him to win.
Yesterday I had this conversation:
me: Jose, what did you do during the break?
Jose: I made a commercial
me: wow, what was the commercial about?
Jose: I don't know. Me and my brother just said, "thank you, Dan Burke" for the camera. Who's Dan Burke?

brian that his just incredibly sad
did they at least give them a couple bucks or a candy bar?
I think they just gave him the line, "you wanna be on TV?"
id love to post this story in a press release along with a clip of final cut of the commercial, if your kids end up in it.
I'll be looking for the commercial.
Another heart-wrenching writing prompt response happened yesterday. I asked the kids for New Year's Resolutions and a kid wrote:
"I want to help my dad stop drinking." When i asked him about it, he said it's because if he does his mom will let him come back home.
Wow. I don't even know what to say to that. It's no wonder politicians are typically seen as liars.
