SPOTLIGHT: Could New Illinois Be Just What Illinois Needs?
Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg
What if you could leave Illinois, but never have to move?
Illinois Family Spotlight’s special guest, G.H. Merritt, says that it is possible.
G.H. Merritt is the founder of New Illinois, a non-partisan, non-profit organization with the mission of educating the people of Illinois about their rights under the U.S. Constitution to pursue separation and formation of a new state.
“… outside of Cook County, people do not have true representative government…
… you have a county with 40% of the population dominating the rest of the state with 60% of the population, and that absorption of power allowed… them to gerrymander and just take power completely. People downstate really don’t have representation.”
This is a fascinating episode that you don’t want to miss.
