Sen. Al Franken can draw all 50 states from memory, but can your U.S. Senator draw your state? To help kick off
Geography Awareness Week,
National Geographic invited all 100 U.S. Senators to draw a map of their home state from memory and to label at least three important places. It seems only

ReplyDeleteRight you are. Thanks for the nit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection! I'm very happy that my senator, Dick Durbin, drew Illinois. He did a pretty good job. Illinois is one of the nicest shaped states.

All the other states look surprisingly quite nice.
