FROM 'CLERGY FOR QUINN' ~

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH, IS ELECTION DAY.

On Thursday, October 30th, more than 200 African American clergy, business leaders, community leaders and grassroots foot soldiers came together at the Parkway Ballroom to express their support for Governor Pat Quinn in his quest to be re-elected. The resounding chorus for the day was WE WIN WITH QUINN.

It is important that we all know what is at stake in this election. The future of public education is at stake. The future of Medicaid and Medicare is at stake. The health care of millions of people is at stake. The wages of hard working people are at stake.

Bruce Rauner cannot buy this election. Billionaire Bruce Rauner started early in the year trying to buy this election. After earning $61 million dollars in 2013, he has spent millions of his own money on negative ads. He has given $1 million to a Black-owned Credit Union on the south side of Chicago and he has convinced a small group of ministers to try to create an image in the community. It has been documented that out of 51 persons in one of his companies, there were no African Americans.
