					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Everett Piper</em></p>
<p>If you watched the recent “No Kings” riots with a lingering sense of deja vu, together with a haunting feeling that the “fox is in the henhouse,” you had good reason. This chaos is not without precedent, and it is far from the grassroots movement it is portrayed to be. First, let’s deal with the deja vu.</p>
<p>Because most of our public schools have long since abandoned teaching anything remotely akin to an accurate version of world history, most people today are unaware that the anarchy we are witnessing in the streets of Philadelphia and Portland is not without precedent.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/06/the-billionaires-behind-the-no-kings-riots/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Yes, you read that correctly. Recently, <a href="https://www.vpnmentor.com/news/report-election-records-breach/">there were 4.6 million voter and election documents, including voter records</a>, ballots, lists, and election-related records exposed by Platinum Technology Resource.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>What does that have to do with Illinois voters?</strong></span></p>
<p>The state of Illinois contracted with Platinum Technology Resource, a vendor that offers services to 23 Illinois counties (and the City of Rockford) including ballot printing, election management, and voter registration software.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/4-6m-illinois-voter-and-election-documents-exposed-online/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The Illinois Republican State Central Committee (SCC) will be meeting tomorrow to consider how to fill the vacancy left by Chairman <strong>Don Tracy</strong>, who resigned in June. We are only aware of a couple of candidates who are up for consideration.

<p style="font-weight: 400;">As many of you know the issue of direct election of the Illinois State Central Committee people has been around for a long time predominantly promoted by a single individual. Though I am always open to new and better ideas, it is unfortunate this ill conceived idea is once again being revisited.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It is a bad, poorly thought through idea.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">I called the primary promoter of this concept to give him a fair hearing on something he was clearly passionate about.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/05/an-opposing-view-of-direct-election-of-gop-scc/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>We strongly encourage you to vote in the March 19th primary election. Prior to going to the polls, make sure that you know where your candidates stand on the sanctity of human life, transgender confusion, parental rights, and big government.</p>
<p>Illinois Family Action’s board members are pleased to endorse the following candidates for office in the 2024 primary election. Many of these endorsements reflect differences between candidates who hold pro-life and pro-family positions and those who do not.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/03/ifas-2024-primary-election-endorsements/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Thankfully, Trustees Steve Bruns and Steve Johnson voted against making a change to the village seal.</p>
<p>At the January 8<sup>th</sup> meeting, Trustee Seifert presented the new village seal.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/you-wont-believe-what-crete-officials-are-planning/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Today has become known as “Giving Tuesday,” a day when charities ask you to consider helping fund their worthwhile efforts.</p>
<p>Since 2010, Illinois Family Action (IFA) has been a bold voice for the sanctity of life, religious liberty, education choice and other family issues. Specifically, we&#8217;ve worked diligently in the political arena to help elect the best pro-family candidates for state and federal office. As a result, we&#8217;ve seen dozens of RINOs retired.</p>
<p>These core beliefs are some of the key building blocks behind what we do, but they aren&#8217;t just things we&#8217;ve decided on a whim.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/11/help-us-uphold-the-truth-on-givingtuesday/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Our universe operates according to myriad laws, including invisible, non-material laws. Understanding how invisible laws, which would certainly include God’s moral code, operate is critically important. To disregard God’s moral laws is to invite disaster.</p>
<p>For the last sixty years, (perhaps) well-meaning leaders have told Christians that we ought not involve ourselves in politics and culture.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/11/things-you-must-consider-when-you-vote/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friends and Neighbors,</p>
<p>Every election cycle politicians love to make the claim that this year&#8217;s race is the most important election of our lifetime. Of course, there is some validity in those calls-t0-action.</p>
<p>We don’t know what the future holds, but one thing we can tell you is that the U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn <em>Roe v Wade</em> has made <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>every election moving forward eminently and critically important</strong></span>.</p>
<p>For the first time in 50 years electing pro-life legislators is more than just symbolic.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/11/your-help-needed-this-saturday/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>With the midterm elections just a couple of days away, the woke cries of Christian nationalism are again on the rise. We hear the portents from coast to coast. Everyone from California’s dear leader, <strong>Gavin Newsom</strong>, to <strong>George Soros</strong>’ sock puppet, President Biden, is warning that “Christian nationalists” are perhaps the greatest threat to our country.</p>
<p>“Beware of the heartland conservatives,” they shout! “These Bible-thumping rubes are dangerous. They’re destroying democracy and must be stopped, or the next shoe to fall will be forced conversions, inquisitions, public floggings and witch hunts.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/the-boogeyman-of-christian-nationalism/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The 2022 General Election campaign is reaching the home stretch, and the start of expanded in-person early voting and local get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts are underway to ensure that all voters turn out to cast their ballots. In their GOTV messaging, everyone from the honorable precinct committeepersons on up should remind voters, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Stop at the Top!&#8221;</p>
<p>In the 2020 elections, Kane County saw four of its countywide offices flipped from Republican to Democrat control, including the open offices of county board chairman (elected at-large by popular vote) and state&#8217;s attorney.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/dont-stop-at-the-top/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Meet <strong>Kathleen Murray</strong>, the Illinois Family Action endorsed <a href="https://www.electkathleenmurray.com/about-kathleen">candidate for Illinois Senate District 21</a>.</p>
<p>Ms. Murray sat down recently with <strong>Monte Larrick</strong> to discuss her qualifications to serve in the Illinois Senate, her proposed <strong>PARENTS BILL OF RIGHTS</strong>, her experience with the 2021 Oak Brook Mall Christmas shootings and the policy differences with her opponent.</p>
<p>On the need for a <strong>PARENTS BILL OF RIGHTS</strong> in Illinois Ms. Murray stated:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“Parents, not the government, have the authority and responsibility to raise their minor children according to their values, to determine the appropriate time to introduce sex related topics, to make decisions for the physical, emotional and mental wellness of their child and to control the transition from childhood to adulthood.”</em></p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/kathleen-murray-earns-ifas-endorsement/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Somebody should tell <em>The Washington Post</em>. They reported on Oct. 10 that “Half of voters say climate change is important in midterms.” Sure it is. You keep thinking that way.</p>

<p><strong>Thomas Devore</strong>, candidate for Illinois Attorney General, spoke recently at the Crete Township Republican meeting on the dangers of the SAFE-T Act. During his presentation, he delivered a damning legal analysis of the Democrat’s SAFE-T Act (HB 3653) , which will fully go into effect on January 1, 2023. Most Democrats voted YES and every single Republican voted NO.</p>
<p>Devore warns that the ‘no-cash bail’ provision in the SAFE-T Act opens up Illinois courts to civil rights violations.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/spotlight-tom-devore-claims-safe-t-act-violates-bill-of-rights-and-separation-of-powers/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Paul Hurst and David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>Illinois Family Action is deeply concerned about the race for control over the Illinois Supreme Court. You should be too. After all, the Democrat Party has held majority control for 53 years. Since the Supreme Court is one-third of the branches of our state government, it’s worthwhile to ask if the Court has served us well in checking abuse in the other branches of Illinois government.  Even a momentary consideration screams a resounding, “No!”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/illinois-supreme-court-parental-rights-and-democratic-skullduggery/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Sunday October 16, the <em>Daily Herald</em> urged a &#8220;No&#8221; vote on the top-of-the-ballot question on Amendment 1.</p>
<p>Illinois Family Action, like other freedom-loving and higher-taxes-loathing conservative organizations, is grateful for the newspaper&#8217;s rejection of Amendment 1. Interestingly, the <em>Herald</em>&#8216;s editorial board also skewered some proponents who tried to use the abortion issue as a reason to vote <em>for</em> Amendment 1.</p>
<p>The <em>Daily Herald</em> on September 29 hosted a joint endorsement session with multiple newspapers around the state. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/daily-herald-endorses-no-vote-on-amendment-1/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

He is stepping up to challenge State Representative <strong>Larry Walsh Jr.</strong> (D-Joliet), the incumbent since 2012. Value voters are hoping to help Greene win the election and bring some trucker sense to the Capitol in Springfield. Knowing that faith, family, and freedom are on the line, he promises to try his best to represent his district.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/spotlight-scott-greene-has-ifas-endorsement/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Illinois Family Action is currently engaged in a Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) effort throughout the state. The importance of this election cannot be over-emphasized. Never before in the history of the United States have we seen this level of delusional thinking, rhetoric and militancy. The threats to the institutions of the sanctity of life, the centrality of family and the importance of the church are more profound than we can remember.</p>

<p>Labor Secretary <strong>Marty Walsh</strong> (D, Pro-Labor Unions) stated the following when the rule was announced:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“While independent contractors have an important role in our economy, we have seen in many cases that employers misclassify their employees as independent contractors, particularly among our nation’s most vulnerable workers.</p>
<p>“Misclassification deprives workers of their federal labor protections, including their right to be paid their full, legally earned wages. </p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/flsa/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

We cannot emphasize how vitally important it is to elect conservative Republicans in this election. <strong>Jack Vrett</strong> is one of those candidates who can bring common sense back to Springfield.</p>
<p>At times there is little difference between candidates when it comes to their Big Government, tax-and-spend philosophies.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/10/jack-vrett-for-illinois-house-dist-53/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The first week of October was not a very good one for IL-11 Republican nominee Catalina Lauf of Woodstock.  After being elevated by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) to full Young Guns status at the end of September, Lauf entered October with a fundraiser planned in Las Vegas and hosted by Congressman Burgess Owens (R, UT) through his Dream Big PAC.</p>

<p>Below is a sample of what someone in Illinois&#8217; 15th State Senate district recently distributed in her neighborhood &#8211; a custom-made half-sheet flier specific to her area. She said that many of the people she spoke with had previously voted for the Democrats IFA highlighted in the flier. She said they were <strong>SHOCKED</strong> to find out that the state lawmakers they previously supported voted AGAINST common-sense values. So shocked that they declared they would now vote <strong><em>against</em> </strong>their incumbent state representative and state senator!&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/09/lets-flip-the-general-assembly/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>We are <strong><em>beyond</em></strong> frustrated hearing abortion cheerleaders in Illinois call pro-life candidates “extreme” because of the view that <em><strong>all</strong></em> human life is sacred and should not be gruesomely &#8220;terminated&#8221; and callously disposed of at will and for convenience sake.</p>
<p>If you are like us, you talk back to the radio, television or computer screen when you hear JB Pritzker claim that abortion is “health care,” or that Darren Bailey is a disqualified leader for pointing out the fact that millions of babies have been destroyed in the name of “choice.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/09/who-are-the-abortion-extremists/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In this episode we interview <strong>Patricia Bonk</strong>, Republican Candidate for 30th House District. Patricia Bonk uses her unique experience as an ER nurse and firefighter to address important issues like public safety, abortion, property taxes, school reform, child protection, voting integrity, and Gov. Pritzker&#8217;s <a href="https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/102/SB/PDF/10200SB1169lv.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SB 1169</a>.

<p>Illinois Family Institute (IFI) has been fighting for traditional family values for more than thirty years now. We have never been afraid to stand up and speak out in the public square for the Judeo-Christian values upon which our country was founded, or to roll up our sleeves to do the hard work of advancing the truth no matter how &#8220;politically incorrect.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2010 we launched Illinois Family Action (IFA), our 501c4 political arm, which allows us to be more involved in elections, helping the best candidates (state and federal) in their primaries and/or general election races.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/urgent-please-stand-with-ifa/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Early Thursday (June 23) afternoon , the venerable Club for Growth PAC, one of the leading free-enterprise advocacy groups known for spending millions of dollars through independent expenditures (IE) to elect their endorsed candidates to public office, either the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate or governorships, endorsed Catalina Lauf (R, Woodstock) five days before the Illinois primary for the 11th Congressional District.</p>
<p>Applying discernment to this endorsement reveals some very unusual observations, which are shared to determine why this Club for Growth PAC differs from the other current 13 U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/06/cfg/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The important issues at stake are in the headlines every day. The attacks against the right to life, religious liberty, rights of conscience and biological reality are increasing; putting even common sense at risk. Most government schools are teaching inappropriate &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; sex-education to kindergarteners, and in many high schools are now allowing confused biological boys to use the girl’s washrooms, locker rooms and showers.</p>
<p>It’s not just the gubernatorial election that is of critical importance, but every office “down ballot” as well.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/06/looking-for-campaign-volunteers/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Jenna Smith</em></p>
<p>Mark your calendars! Tuesday, April 26<sup>th</sup>, there will be a massive get together in support of <a href="https://baileyforillinois.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darren Bailey for Governor</a> in St. Charles IL! There is no fee to come, you will meet a mass of likeminded folks, and you won&#8217;t want to miss it!</p>
<p>Everyone knows that JB Pritzker has been an abysmal failure when it comes to just about everything his position as governor of Illinois entails. He has perverted public schools even further than they originally were, has further transformed Illinois as the abortion capitol of the Midwest, has destroyed local businesses and lives with tyrannical covid mandates, and has hiked the taxes so people are leaving the state in droves.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/04/fire-pritzker-rally/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p style="line-height: 13.15pt; background: white; margin: 7.5pt 0in 7.5pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;">For Schaumburg/Palatine Township High School District 211, serving Palatine, Fremd, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates and Conant High Schools, there are three seats up this election. The IFA board of directors and I strongly recommend voting for <strong>Kristen Steel</strong>, <strong>Robi Vollkommer</strong>, and <strong>Jessica Hinkle</strong>. All 3 are moms in the district and are the best candidates to represent parents and students. They are not funded by the unions and are opposed to the radical idea of biological males having access to female locker rooms and sports teams.</span>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/03/three-moms-against-co-ed-locker-rooms-running-for-district-211-school-board/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>On <strong>Monday, November 1st,</strong> Loves Park aldermen will vote on allowing recreational marijuana businesses to set up shop. Because of the flood of marijuana revenue into the state coffers as a result of the lockdown, they see an irresistible cash cow.</p>
<p>What they apparently aren&#8217;t taking into consideration is the rise in suicides, and drug and alcohol use due to the lockdown policies and an increase in unemployment, business closures and domestic violence. <strong>Marijuana is not the answer.</strong>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/10/loves-park-just-say-no/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Anna T. of Lake Zurich, Illinois</em></p>
<p>When I was invited to meet my local state legislator, State Representative <strong>Mary Edly-Allen</strong> (D-Libertyville), I never  imagined that a woman, a former teacher, and a mother of four could hold such callous views of precious babies almost born. Rep. Edly-Allen laughed when she was confronted with the reality that abortion dismembers even viable babies in Illinois at  taxpayers&#8217; expense. She stated it &#8220;wasn&#8217;t her job&#8221; as an elected leader to protect babies.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/10/mary-edly-allen-believes-that-protecting-babies-is-not-her-job/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>There are seven candidates running for the Republican nomination in Illinois&#8217; 14th Congressional District during this month&#8217;s Primary Election. The winner of this contest will face off against freshman Congresswoman <strong>Lauren Underwood</strong> in the General Election on November 2nd. This district has been historically red and supported <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong> in 2016 by a wide margin. Many pundits believe that Underwood&#8217;s election in 2018 was made possible by the Trump backlash.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/03/14th-congressional-district-endorsement-james-marter/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Pastor and Church Leaders,</p>
<p>My name is Mary Miller; I am running for Congress in your district, IL-15.</p>
<p>I would love to share with your congregation who I am, why I am running, and how I would represent this district in Congress.</p>
<p>I have always thought it was important for people of faith to be involved in the political process. For most of my life I never really had political aspirations, but I have always asked God to show me opportunities to “overcome evil with good”. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/02/mary-millers-open-letter-to-pastors-and-church-leaders/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Kathy Valente</em></p>
<p>When an elected leader who has proven himself over and over decides to go straight back into the lion&#8217;s den to fight on behalf of his constituents, they have an obligation to help him get to the finish line.</p>
<p>Tom Morrison was elected to the Illinois State House for the 54th District in 2011. But in 2018, his Left wing opponent and her allies spent over $2 million against him. The race was so close he won by only 43 votes!&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/09/we-need-to-help-tom-morrison-get-re-elected/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>State Representative <strong>David Welter</strong> (R-75th Dist.) is promoting some <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Welter.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">town hall meetings</a> next week in Morris, Plano, Wilmington, and Seneca so that he can &#8220;listen to your feedback, your questions, and concerns.&#8221; We thought you, a conservative pro-family voter in this district, should know how your local state representative has been voting in Springfield.</p>
<p>For a number of important reasons, we believe your local official, Rep. Welter, has failed us.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Every election we get numerous calls from voters who want information on judges. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s very little information available, but there is some.</p>
<p>If you live in Cook County, Illinois Family Action has compiled a<a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IFA-PAC_VG_General_2018_Judges.pdf"><strong> list of judicial candidates</strong></a> that are rated by the Gay and Lesbian Bar Association of Chicago (LAGBAC).
