Public Theology: Last Night

Friends,

Last night, President Obama eloquently outlined his agenda for the next year. In doing so, he touched on several principles that are at the core of my campaign for governor: protecting the middle class from tax increases, cutting government spending, and investing in small businesses, entrepreneurism, and innovation to spur our economy and create jobs. Enacting these solutions reflects our best values, helps restore trust in government, and keeps faith with those who are struggling, across Illinois and America.

As many of you know, I was one of the first elected officials to call on Barack Obama to run for President, and worked with many of you to help him get elected. Next January, after I am sworn in as Illinois' 42nd Governor, I look forward to continue working with him to get Illinois out of this financial mess.

But in order to do so, I need your help. That's why I am asking you to get involved in this campaign. During these last five days, you can make calls from the comfort of your own home, canvass a neighborhood, or even help organize our "Get Out the Vote" effort. Also, be sure to check out my website for events in your area in the coming days.

Thank you for your time and continued support. With less than a week to go and so much on the line for hard working families across the state, I hope you will get involved. We need your help more than ever.

Sincerely,

Dan
