During the 12 years ending in 1997, we in Illinois were privileged to be represented in the U.S.

[Atticus]

Senate by Paul Simon. A man whose intellect was exceeded only by his consistent integrity, the "man in the bow tie" became known as "the conscience of the Senate".

I think we now have another "conscience of the Senate": Reverend Warnock of Georgia.

If it is right, moral, kind, generous and compassionate, count on Senator Warnock to support. And, count on him to fearlessly stand with "the least among us" without regard to who or what seeks to prey on them.

Just my opinion, but I feel pretty confident in it.

1. Yes, he is emerging as a man of conscience. I expect as much from someone who...

occupies MLK Jr.'s pulpit.

2. He Is Amazing

I have seen him neglect to take the bait and push back, but instead speak of a better way.

I bear witness.

3. I like him as a man of reason...

Who seeks a peaceful path. We need more people of that nature representing us.

4. Isn't part of I-70 named after Simon?

He was a good man.

I think the same of Warnock. I was ecstatic with his victory.

[Atticus]

5. Yes, I believe a section of I-70 just east of St. Louis is named for him and the signs so

designating it feature his trademark bow tie.

6. It's a good highway.

I’ve driven on it many times. There’s a nice rest stop there, and the bow tie signs are adorable.
