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:
My Dear Friends,
Welcome to your state capitol.

Bowing to pressure from the left-wing Human Rights Campaign, U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (RINO-IL) abruptly canceled access to a Senate meeting room for an event scheduled for today by the Rockford-based Howard Center for Family, Religion, and Society.
Gay activists are upset that the World Congress of Families, which is currently planning a global summit of supporters of the “traditional family” to be held in Moscow in 2014, would be holding an event in a meeting room in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.

The true Christian is called to be a soldier, and must behave as such from the day of his conversion to the day of his death. He is not meant to live a life of pious ease, indolence and security. [J.C. Ryle, Holiness]
Daily the grip of socialism is expanding – swallowing up liberty. Eating at your income, freedom of speech and religion, your sense of well-being.
There are those (perhaps you are one) who are fighting and being bloodied. … Continue Reading

How did they vote?
Sixty-one state representatives in the Illinois House cave in to pressure from Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago) and the LGBTQ lobby.
On the afternoon of November 5th, the Illinois House of Representatives recklessly voted 61-54 in favor of genderless marriage (SB 10) with 2 representatives voting present and 1 not voting.
The debate raged for over two hours with SB 10 with supporters of the bill filling the time with a constant stream of emotion, personal testimony, and accusations of discrimination.… Continue Reading

As state lawmakers prepare to go back to Springfield for the second week of the fall veto session, and as rumors fly about a pending vote on redefining the institution of marriage (SB 10), citizens of Illinois need to seriously consider the fact that people of faith have absolutely no religious protections in this radical policy proposal.
People of faith should be free to live and work according to our beliefs. … Continue Reading

You probably think that could be a headline from The Onion – and you would be right. But only an Onion-like headline can begin to capture the ludicrousness of Tom Cross wanting to be State Treasurer after the record he clocked as State Representative and House Minority Leader.
Cross claims he’s a “fiscal conservative.”
Well at least the guy has a sense of humor. Maybe Mr. Cross should apply at The Onion.… Continue Reading

President Barack Obama, complaining about the Republicans who want to use their Constitutional power of the purse to stop or slow down Obamacare, said to the media during a press conference Monday afternoon:
“One faction of one party in one house of Congress in one branch of government doesn’t get to shut down the entire government just to refight the results of an election. You don’t get to extract a ransom for doing your job, for doing what you’re supposed to be doing anyway, or just because there’s a law there that you don’t like.”

With his inspirational and unprecedented show of leadership on the floor of the U.S. Senate this past week, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), made hundreds of enemies in Washington D.C.
But more importantly, he made millions of friends across America.
When you have both liberal Democrats and mealy-mouthed establishment RINOs (Republicans in name only) allying against you, you know you’ve got the bead over the beltway “good ol’ boys’” center-mass. Mr. Cruz emasculated, delightfully, Obama’s political yes-bots on both sides of the aisle.… Continue Reading
