Eddie Willing loves politics and he's very tied into the Presidential election, so much so that he's helping Rick Perry's camp.
A Caledonia man will trek to Des Moines on Dec. 31 to help out with Rick Perry’s campaign in an effort to help prepare for the Iowa Caucus. Eddie Willing, a member of friends of Rick Perry, will help pass out campaign literature, do interviews, make phone calls and work at a precinct there.

I'd also be happy to give you a tour … more ›
