Dear Aaron, Could you support your family on $17,000 a year? Hundreds of thousands of Illinois families do just that, paying for rent, groceries and school supplies on the minimum wage of $8.25 an hour. Across the state, 400,000 men and women work for minimum wage, and 100,000 Illinois children depend upon parents who earn minimum wage.
 But in June, Bill Brady proposed cutting Illinois' minimum wage, a move that would take $2,000 a year out of the pockets of people already struggling to make ends meet. And, in his 17 years in the legislature, Senator Brady has consistently voted against raising the minimum wage. Our new ad - "Learn, Chapter 2" - exposes Brady's extreme views on the minimum wage and his lack of concern for the troubles of working families in a recovering economy. Watch our new ad and pass it along to your family and friends. They need to meet the real Senator Brady. While multimillionaire Brady enjoys the good life - including a Porsche and a condo in Florida - his proposal would harm families and restrict Illinois' economic growth. And Senator Brady's extreme record and views have ramifications beyond the individual policies: they reflect the kinds of bills he would sign, the executive orders he would implement, and the kind of people he would appoint to head state agencies. Voters want someone they can trust is on their side. In his 17 years in the legislature and on the campaign trail, Bill Brady has repeatedly shown that he's simply out of touch with Illinois voters. Watch our new ad forward it to 10 friends right away. We're 55 days away from November 2nd, and we need your help now!
Recent polls show that 40 percent of Illinois voters still don't know anything about Senator Brady. Between now and Election Day, we'll be helping voters answer the question, "Who is this guy?" and make an informed decision when they cast their vote. Pat Quinn has always stood up for a fair wage and for all of Illinois' working families. And now we need you to stand up for him. Watch the ad, and then forward this email to friends, volunteer for the campaign, and contribute so we can keep voters informed. This campaign is about the future of Illinois. We need to keep moving forward, and we can't afford to go back. Sincerely, Ben Nuckels
Campaign Manager
