Illinois Democrats are Bloodthirsty for Child Sacrifice

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

“Operation Swing State” is in full gear for the upcoming general election on November 5th.

The goal of this operation? To convert as many people as possible to the pro-child sacrifice side not only in Illinois but also in key swing states like Wisconsin.

NPR Illinois recently covered the work of this operation:

“On a hot sunny day in September, Elizabeth Posner and Mark Steen, two volunteers from Illinois, drove around the politically purplish city of Racine, Wis.,

Illinois 2024: Three Questions on the Ballot

Written by David E. Smith

Earlier this year, Gov. JB Pritzker urged the Democrats in the General Assembly to pass legislation placing three advisory questions on our ballots for the upcoming election. Every voter in the state of Illinois will have the options of voting either Yes or No.

These questions are non-binding, meaning they simply act as an official poll of voters to guide state lawmakers on public opinion regarding questions of policy, but do not directly change law.… Continue Reading

Share These Candidate Comparisons on Social Media

Written by David E. Smith and Kathy Valente

The voting record and agenda of Illinois Democrats can only be described as far left on the political spectrum. We could justifiably call them extreme. But the deceptive media in Illinois will never identify them honestly because they are collaborators in creating a godless socialist culture.

Below we have posted a number of comparison graphics for candidates running for federal and state legislative seats. We’ve listed them by President, U.S.… Continue Reading

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Is praying outside of an abortion clinic terrorism?

In this episode of Spotlight, Monte Larrick sits down with Constitutional attorney David Shestokas to discuss how pro-life activists in Illinois have been targeted by Eileen O’Neill Burke, a candidate for the Cook County State’s Attorney position, as it regards their Constitutional rights.

“She’s going after free speech… Possibly potentially freedom of religion… She’s intending to prosecute people not necessarily based on their conduct, but based on the content of their message.”

Ron DeSantis Declares War on Widespread Ballot Petition Fraud

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Election integrity has been the top concern for many Republican voters, but despite their complaints, few Republicans have taken significant action. Florida stands out. Instead of resorting to window dressing, press conferences, and memes, Governor Ron DeSantis established an election integrity unit within the state’s law enforcement agency, which has actively pursued criminal fraud charges. Now, he is elevating his efforts to clean up elections to a new level.

Gathering petitions for citizen-driven ballot initiatives is a tedious process that demands significant time, money, and organization to collect enough valid signatures within a short period.… Continue Reading

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.
