Quinn for Illinois

"Governor Quinn is deeply concerned that members of our military serving overseas may have been deprived of their fundamental right to vote. The county governments responsible must ensure that all registered voters have the opportunity to make their voices heard in this election.

Meanwhile, Bill Brady is trying to exploit a serious situation for political gain, yet again.

Senator Brady, who has called for indiscriminate cuts to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs totaling at least 10 percent, got on his soapbox (Facebook), promising things would be different if he were Governor.

Unfortunately, however, Brady's attempted political hit lacked any basis in fact. County governments, not the state, are responsible for absentee ballots.

Illinois servicemembers don't need grandstanding politicians like Bill Brady. They need jobs when they come home, and assistance for their families while they're deployed-- things Pat Quinn has fought for."
