I’m voting for Pat Quinn because he’s a Democrat; and Yes, the Democrats ARE the stalwarts for the middle class. Democratic values and unions have brought us a long way from the Robber Barons of the past century. Fair labor standards, safety measures and the eight-hour workday, vacation time, pensions, and access to decent health care for the masses were all contributions to society from forward-leaning Dems. We stand for liberty and justice for everyone, fairness in voting procedures, wages people can live on, better education, help for the poor and the elderly, and respectful treatment for our veterans! Unemployment in Illinois is at a six-year low under Quinn. I’m a retired working stiff. The goal of Republicans is to keep the nation’s wealth for the wealthy. Rauner is a billionaire vulture-capitalist, who is for out-sourcing whatever American jobs still exist. He has lauded Scott Walker as his idol. He’s against unions, raising the minimum wage, and expanding Medicaid. He’s for privatizing Social Security and agencies like the Dept. of Motor Vehicles, (as Missouri did; then the focus isn’t on services, but profit margins). My president, Barack Obama, endorses Pat Quinn, as does IL State Senator Dick Durbin, and former president Bill Clinton, and so do I.
