Friend,

Yesterday was a sad day for journalism, and a scary day for our state.

Bruce Rauner's attacks on a veteran Chicago Sun-Times reporter and his wife led an award-winning political journalist to resign, just days before the election.

Rauner's efforts to conceal his business record are without precedent. They extend now to attacking members of the press and their families.

Stifling dissent and silencing reporters strike at basic pillars of democracy. There's no place for that in Illinois.

SUBJECT: Don't let Bruce Rauner get away with this

Friend,

Now we know just how far Bruce Rauner is willing to go to take over Illinois.

After news broke that Rauner threatened the female CEO at one of his outsourcing companies, we didn't see any more reporting on the story for days -- and now we have an idea why that might be.

Bruce Rauner allegedly retaliated against the reporter to silence him.

It's chilling, but this is what we're up against.

Will you chip in $5 or more right now to make sure Rauner doesn't get away with this?

This is someone who bragged about having the money, power, and influence to get his way.

And shortly after the Sun-Times stopped reporting on this damning story, they announced that they were abruptly changing their policy of not endorsing candidates. This morning, they endorsed Rauner -- without ever meeting with Governor Quinn.

Sound fishy?

We have 17 days to stop this guy. Chip in $5 or more now to make sure we can:
