When Chrysler announced plans to close Kenosha’s largest employer probably in the 80’s Jesse came and spoke hoping to save the plant. He was phenomenal.
Didn’t he though! I’ll never forget the recording that came into our ZIP Code for the national presidential election year —was it the year 2000?— Anyway, the recording was good old Jessie saying “get your souls to the polls! “ The only problem was That my neighbor received a recording well after 7:00 PM when the polls close. The Democratic machine got a court order to keep the polls open because of some kind of shenanigans I can’t remember.
