the city of springfield so much of it is built around that legacy of abraham lincoln, illinois is the land of lincoln is certainly a springfield is the city of lincoln. his home is here the old state capitol where you get the house divided speeches here his o law offices are here and of course he's buried on the outskirts of town in oak ridge cemetery. so lincoln is extraordinarily important to the city of springfield. this museum was built in 2005 at open to the public it been a dream a long time of many folks here in central, illinois a presidential library for the greatest president the purpose of the library is very basic to preserve and pass on the legacy of abraham lincoln. he's a man who i think best encapsulated what it means to be american. what the whole idea of america is all about it is a freedom and equality an opportunity. we do put him on a pedestal rightly. but also he was a human being and he had great ambitions to do great things and he certainly succeeded in that. abraham lincoln was born in 1809 in kentucky. he lived there just for fear as he moved me six or seven

the illinois michigan canal is a pretty critical canal. lincoln had told his friend joshua speed, i want to be known as the dewitt clinton of illinois. now, those who who dewitt clinton is, he was the governor of new york when the erie canal was put into service and he had been instrumental prior to being being governor in getting the erie canal built. the erie canal runs from new york, from the hudson river, albany, over to lake erie. and it was gangbusters for the new york economy, the new york state economy and the new england economy, who could now more easily get products all the way through to lake erie and through the great lakes to chicago, the illinois, michigan canal did get built, and it goes from chicago to lasalle on the illinois river, which then goes to the mississippi river. so finish that connection. so you much more easily move product across across by land instead of having go down the coast or having to put them on on, on wagons and move them the muddy roads. so this was it was it was critical to making illinois grow an

according to trace data from the a.t.f., only 49% of crime guns used in illinois are from illinois. illegal gun trafficking from states with fewer gun protections make my constituents less safe. whether it's background checks, consumer safety laws, community violence intervention, or cracking down on gun trafficking gun safety laws work. states that have fewer gun laws have higher gun deaths. already in 2023, 13,000 people have died because of a gun. another 10,000 have been wounded. these numbers include homicides and suicides, mass shootings, and daily gun violence. one thing these interdents all have in common, is access to a firearm made them more deadly. this is a public health crisis that is painfully american. unlike our pier countries, life expectancy in this country is not rising after the worst of the peeked has abated. life expectancy continues to decline because our young people are dying. and too many of those deaths are from guns. and the data shows that violence begets violence begets violence. more violence means fewer job opportunities, fewer education opportunities
