Eleven Same-Sex “Marriage” Incumbents Have Pro-Marriage Challengers

Written by David E. Smith

An Associated Press report claiming that the challenge to Illinois House incumbents who voted for marriage redefinition has fizzled is utterly misleading. According to our information, eight of the nine Chicago Democrats challenging Democratic incumbents would have voted no or present on SB 10, the same-sex “marriage” legislation sponsored by homosexual State Representative Greg Harris (D-Chicago).

This is an astounding fact that should not be lost on readers. Not one, not two, not three, but eight pro-marriage Chicago Democrats are challenging Democratic incumbents in the March 18, 2014 primary election.… Continue Reading

Status Quo for Illinois Senate in 2015

From IllinoisReview.com:

Illinois Found to be One of the Worst Run States in the Nation

We don’t mean to brag, but a financial analysis done by the group 24/7 Wall Street finds that Illinois is NOT the worst run state in the nation. It found we’re the 3rd worst — and interestingly enough, the analysis also found we border the 3rd best run state in the nation.

Of course, ranking 48th out of 50 is nothing to brag about. State Rep. Bill Mitchell, a Republican from Forsythe, repeats many of the obvious problems the state faces.… Continue Reading

Pat Quinn vs. Catholicism

Written by Robert Klein Engler

On Wednesday, November 20, 2013, the professed Catholic governor of Illinois, Pat Quinn, signed a bill making same-sex marriage, or marriage between “two persons,” possible in the state.

Prior to Quinn’s signing the same-sex marriage bill, Francis Cardinal George condemned same-sex marriage in Illinois. The Cardinal said, “There will be consequences for the Church and society that will become clearer as the law is used to sue for discrimination.” He added that the new law is “bad law because it will contribute over the long run to the further dissolution of marriage and family life…”

Others have spoken out about the threat to society represented by same-sex marriage — some gay men among them. … Continue Reading

Family Research Council Calls on Sen. Kirk to Apologize for Discriminating Against Pro-family Group

Written by David E. Smith

Last week, the Family Research Council (FRC) asked Illinois’s U.S. Senator Mark Kirk to apologize for his bigoted decision to cancel a Senate office building room reservation for the Rockford-based Howard Center for Family, Religion & Society after radical homosexual activists protested the event.

According to Sen. Kirk’s press secretary, Kirk cancelled the meeting because he “will not host groups that advance a hateful agenda.” And what is the “hateful agenda”?  … Continue Reading

Judy Baar Topinka Offers to be Flower Girl for Homosexual “Weddings”

Written by David E. Smith

This is ridiculous! Aren’t we tired of liberal cheer-leader Judy Barr Topinka? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have an honest liberal with a D after her name as Comptroller than radical liberal Republican [liar] like the one we have now. At least it will be truth in advertising!

I say we retire Topinka in November 2014 so she can get all the flowering experience she can for LGBTQ “weddings” in the years to come.  … Continue Reading

New Poll Shows Over Half of Illinois Republicans “Conservative”

Kirk Dillard: SB 10 Will “Denigrate Marriage”

Written by David E. Smith

State Senator Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale) is a strong proponent of natural marriage.  IFA thanks Dillard for his very strong pro-marriage position and speech at the IFI Defend Marriage Lobby Day at the Capitol in October.  We need more pro-life, pro-marriage leaders like Senator Dillard — leaders who are not afraid of speaking plainly and boldly in defense of families, common sense and traditional values.

This is what he had to say to a crowd of close to 4,000 people:
