Rickey a Hit at PUSH

Sen. Rickey Hendon reportedly wowed folks at a meeting held by Jesse Jackson at PUSH with some leading black ministers and politicians who are trying to use the open mayor's race as a way to advance the community, whoever ends up on the ballot. Stay tuned to see how they work it out. 

Hendon's Heroes believe in the trickle-up theory: the economic and spiritual betterment of the poorest folks is like yeast that makes the whole loaf of bread rise! Like Rickey often tells his neighbors in meetings Monday evenings: "If the government gives poor people money, y'all won't sit on it like the banks. You'll spend it, and that will stimulate the economy!" Tackle some of this street violence, unemployment and drugs, and let Chicago grow.
