There were three separate floats with a congressperson or senator with blue and Democrat on them, plus the float where the lady was handing out flyers had a "vote democrat" theme on them. Also, Carbondale has become an abortion mecca because nearby states KY, TN, and MO have tightened their laws. There is a new business called "Choices" that has a steady stream of protesters out front. I personally benefit from being in blue Illinois in many ways, but it still dismayed me to see this stuff at the homecoming parade.

I wouldn't have a problem with a senator or congressman on a float, if there were no overt messages like "I'm Dem/GOP vote for me and my party." 

No problem with handing flyers out AT a parade, but I don't like the idea of people handing them out FROM a float during
a HS homecoming parade or using a float for party specific messages. 

Perhaps the abortion issue pushed desperate people over these civic boundaries.
