Friend, Yesterday, I stood with my friend Martin Sheen to make the case for why we should raise the minimum wage in Illinois. Martin knows this issue is about justice as much as economics, and he understands the power of grassroots movements to make change. Take a look at his message below, then add your name in support of raising the wage: https://www.quinnforillinois.com/add-your-name-now Thank you. Governor Quinn --------- ORIGINAL MESSAGE --------- Friend, I’ve been extraordinarily lucky in my career as an actor, but I don’t believe good fortune should make you forget your roots. I know what it means to work hard and still barely make ends meet. My parents came to this country in pursuit of a better life, and they managed to raise 10 healthy, happy children on next to nothing. If that's not what the American Dream is all about, then I don't know what is. But today that dream is at risk for millions, in part because of a minimum wage that hasn’t kept up with the times and no longer provides a stable base for a good life. I'm back in Illinois today to join my friend, Governor Quinn, in his fight to raise the minimum wage. Will you join us by adding your name today in support of raising the wage? https://www.quinnforillinois.com/add-your-name-now I truly believe raising the minimum wage is one of the most important issues facing our country, and Illinois needs to lead the way. This is about more than politics. It’s about making sure that no one -- young or old, Democrat or Republican -- who works full time has to live in poverty. I'm asking you, right now, to make sure your state is on the right side of history. If you're standing with Governor Quinn and me on raising the minimum wage, then please add your name right now: https://www.quinnforillinois.com/add-your-name-now And thanks so much.
