Who is going to Senator Barack Obama's announcement at UIC?

Sun-Times (AP) has the text of Obama's speech in Springfield.

Capitol Fax Blog (Rich Miller) has links to the audio.

If you go, please leave comments with your impressions.

Any thoughts on the demonstrators calling for Obama to support cutting funding for the occupation of Iraq?

All the Illinois constitutional officers were there, except Gov. Blagojevich. Also, Mayor Daley and Speaker Madigan weren't there.

Congressman Rush was there, but not announced.

The following pols spoke: Schakowsky, Gutierrez and Emil Jones.
