Illinois and the Nation Must Prioritize Election Integrity
President Donald Trump’s prime-time address this week presents a timely opportunity to launch a genuine national, bipartisan effort to strengthen election integrity. Unfortunately, top Democratic officials and their allies in the dishonest media have already rushed to criticize the president, dismissing his concerns about voter fraud and election meddling as “false” or “unsubstantiated.”
On his personal X page, JB Pritzker posted a statement in response accusing the President of “spewing lies” and attempting to “gaslight the American people” with “baseless claims” and “shameless propaganda.… Continue Reading

Comments Off on The Urgent Case for Election Reform
For years, many Illinois voters have wondered whether anything can be done to restore confidence in our elections. The answer may surprise you.
Join Carol Davis, Chair of the Illinois Conservative Union, for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the ongoing work to strengthen election integrity across our state. Since 2012, the Illinois Conservative Union’s Election Integrity Program has been quietly and faithfully developing practical solutions—identifying and removing ineligible registrations from voter rolls, protecting the voting rights of vulnerable residents in long-term care facilities, and partnering with a national network to support election integrity efforts, including those related to President Trump’s Executive Orders.… Continue Reading

As our nation continues commemorating its 250th anniversary, a profound ideological battle is unfolding over America’s future. At the center of this effort to fundamentally transform the nation is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Once considered a fringe movement, the DSA is rapidly expanding—especially in deep-blue cities and among younger Americans—as it builds significant political influence within the Democratic Party.
According to a report by NewsBusters, the DSA announced on July 4, 2026, that its membership has surpassed 120,000.… Continue Reading

That’s why Illinois Family Institute is helping bring a Liberty Pastors Camp to Illinois at the end of this month!
Pastors and Faith Leaders will enjoy a $2,000+ value including 3 nights at the Oak Brook Hilton, meals, two great days of teaching and much more.… Continue Reading

America’s fiscal baseline is rapidly approaching a critical juncture. With the Social Security Trust Fund officially projected to be exchausted in 2032, everyday citizens and families are facing an uncertain economic horizon. If left unaddressed, the impending insolvency could trigger abrupt benefit reductions of 20% to 30%, destabilizing millions of households nationwide.
In response to these compounding challenges, Illinois Family Action is proud to host two ‘Save America Rallies’ featuring co-authors David M.… Continue Reading

On April 29, 2026, as chairman of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, I held a hearing and released a report titled “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.” There has not been a bigger government scandal during my lifetime, and yet even now that we have documented proof of corruption, most of the legacy media refuses to report on it.… Continue Reading

A call-to action is being issued by our good friend Carol Davis of the Illinois Conservative Union and Cleta Mitchell of the Election Integrity Network.
President Trump has delayed signing the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (H.R. 6644) as he continues urging Congress to pass the SAVE America Act (S. 3752), legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. According to public statements, the President is using the housing bill as leverage to press Republicans in the U.S.… Continue Reading
