It is gratifying to see federal agencies finally working with resolve to secure our highways. By targeting widespread fraud in the commercial trucking industry—specifically illicit testing schemes and unqualified foreign drivers—the administration is taking long-overdue action to protect American lives.
A primary concern for many citizens is the lack of English proficiency among commercial operators. Language is not merely a formality; it is a safety necessity. Drivers must be able to converse with the public, read highway signs, and respond to official inquiries.
A growing body of voices is warning that the strangest political marriage in modern America—the coalition between the secular socialist Left and Islamist movements—is no longer a fringe theory. It is reshaping elections, campuses, and the Democratic Party itself.
Illinois Family Action recently hosted the “Save America Rallies,” featuring keynote speakers David M. Walker, former Comptroller General of the United States and head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), and Joe Penland Sr., businessman, author, and philanthropist. Their nonpartisan, math-driven presentations offered practical blueprints for preserving Social Security, addressing the national debt, and restoring fiscal responsibility and accountability to the federal government.
Illinois Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-Taylorville) recently introduced legislation to protect parental rights in response to Illinois’ unprecedented mandate requiring public schools to offer annual mental health screenings for students.
Last year, Governor JB Pritzkersigned SB 1560 on July 31, 2025, making Illinois the first state in the nation to require universal mental health screenings for students in grades 3 through 12. The new law went into effect on January 1, 2026.… Continue Reading
The upcoming November election will be the most important in our lifetime. The Democrat Party has moved even further to the radical Left and Socialism. They present an immediate threat to our most basic freedoms as Americans.

With the general election rapidly approaching, Illinois Family Action is proud to host two upcoming Save America Rallies on Tuesday and Wednesday. These events aim to inspire, inform, and equip voters as we tackle the defining issues facing our state and nation: restoring fiscal responsibility, reducing the national debt, safeguarding our economy, and protecting Social Security.
The concerns driving voters this season are clear:
National Debt & Inflation: Recent polling shows that 90% of voters are concerned the national debt is fueling inflation and driving up the cost of living—with 83% stating a candidate’s debt-reduction plan will directly determine their vote.
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
The DSA’s Platform Walks Us Through, Brick by Brick
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has officially released an updated platform titled Workers Deserve More!, published through its official magazine, Democratic Left. Describing it as a vision for a “comprehensively democratic society,” the platform seeks to unite the organization’s rank-and-file membership and elected officials around a single political program.
As expected, the DSA platform upholds the “right” to kill preborn babies in the womb (abortion) by calling for universal healthcare and “reproductive care.”… Continue Reading
As Congress continues to debate immigration and federal spending, legislation has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives to prohibit taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for non-citizens.
Earlier this year, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act (S. 3670), which would prohibit the use of federal funds to provide welfare benefits to refugees, asylees, and illegal immigrants.
