There's a reason why our government isn't working for us. It's under the control of two parties that both serve their big corporate sponsors. We need a party that doesn't take corporate money, a party devoted to government of, by and for the people. That party is the Green Party. But to win, we need your support! Get active! Join and support the Green Party.

A Vote FOR RICH WHITNEY Is A Vote FOR:

JOB CREATION
Rich is the only candidate who has a comprehensive plan for job creation.

That plan would:
• aim to modernize our transportation infrastructure;
• build and retrofit green, energy-efficient homes and buildings;
• and build a new, sustainable energy infrastructure,
• with manufacturing based in Illinois!

FIXING OUR BUDGET PROBLEM
Rich is the only candidate who has a plan for fixing the $13 billion budget deficit.

That plan includes:
• creating a state bank to earn more money on our tax revenue;
• supporting a progressive tax system;
• taxing financial speculators; and
• restoring quality job opportunities to our public sector.

That plan would NOT: put the burden on workers and students; cut off vital services; put future generations in debt; attack state workers' pensions; or create a two-tier system.

REPAIRING OUR DAMAGED EDUCATION
AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS
Rich will fight for:
• access to a quality education for all Illinoisans;
• access to tuition-free higher education for qualified residents;
• and a single-payer health care system that will provide quality, comprehensive care for all.
