This time, don't be a Quinn voter

If you believe this state is in great shape, you might be a Quinn voter. If you love your real estate taxes going through the roof, you may be a Quinn voter. If you believe all those jobs at Ford came from Gov. Pat Quinn and not Americans buying more American cars, you may be a Quinn voter.

If you vote along party lines even though the person has put everything in terrible shape, you may be a Quinn voter. If you believe criminals should have concealed carry everywhere, but citizens should only have it in their garage-you may be a Quinn voter. If you are voting Democrat because your mom and pop were Democrats, you might be a Quinn voter. If you really believe a semi-auto rifle is really an assault weapon capable of firing many rounds with one pull of the trigger, you may be a Quinn voter.

If you believe hundreds of people are leaving this state because it's too cold, you may be a Quinn voter. If you believe a temporary tax on your spending means "temporary," you may be a Quinn voter. If you really believe Illinois is in great shape, you may be a Quinn voter!

Now, if you don't believe all the bunk above, you will not be a Quinn voter. If you don't trust any politician in the General Assembly who backs Quinn, you will not be a Quinn supporter voter either. If you want Illinois to be the state it once was, you will vote opposite of anything connected with Quinn.

Please drop the party mentality and vote independently. Don't be a Quinn or his supporters voting person. We have a chance Nov. 4, but after nine years if we fail now it will only get worse.
