					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>It is vital that we send a serious conservative to Congress who will work diligently to address inflation, the economy, open borders, transgender insanity, parental rights, the size (and spending) of our federal government, religious liberty and lawfare, to name a few policy priorities. <strong>James Marter</strong> is the Republican nominee who is IFA&#8217;s pro-life/pro-family conservative choice for the 14th Congressional District.</p>
<p>Marter is trying to unseat Congresswoman <strong>Lauren Underwood</strong> in the General Election on November 5th.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/spotlight-jim-marter-for-congress-bonus-episode/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<section id="article-body">ACT for America, a nationwide grassroots group that educates the public about radical Islam, was founded in 2007 by my vigilant activist friend and Lebanese Christian immigrant journalist Brigitte Gabriel. I was honored to accept Gabriel&#8217;s invitation to speak at her organization&#8217;s annual banquet at Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, on Nov. 7.
<p>Gabriel has worked tirelessly to expose the Islamic imperialist agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic state; barbaric practices of female genital mutilation and honor killings by adherents of sharia; and the whitewashing of violent jihad in American middle school textbooks.</p>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/10/surrendering-to-splcs-lazy-media-lemmings/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></section>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Corinne Weaver</em></p>
<p>The anti-conservative hate group, Southern Poverty Law Center, wants to censor people it disagrees with and it’s asking the top social media companies to help.</p>
<p>On Thursday, October 25, the <a href="https://www.splcenter.org/news/2018/10/24/splc-announces-policy-recommendations-social-media-internet-companies-fight-hate-online">liberal organization</a> announced that it had formed a coalition with five other groups to encourage the prohibition of so-called “hate speech” online. SPLC partnered with four <strong>George Soros</strong> funded organizations: the Center for American Progress, <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/aly-nielsen/2017/08/29/soros-funded-org-falsely-labels-conservative-groups-white">Color of Change</a>, <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/joseph-rossell/2015/03/19/fcc-cites-groups-funded-soros-ford-foundations-206-times-internet">Free Press</a> and<a href="https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/alliance-for-justice/"> Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law,</a> as well as the National Hispanic Media Coalition.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/11/lefty-splc-soros-foundations-build-coalition-to-ban-hate-speech-online/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>CNN has <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/17/us/hate-groups-us-map-trnd/index.html">published</a> a list of “hate groups” currently operating in the United States, relying on an extremely partisan analysis from the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).</p>
<p>Several truly extremist groups populate the list, such as the Ku Klux Klan, New Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, and others.</p>
<p>But along with the neo-Nazi and Islamic extremist groups on the list, the SPLC has lumped in as “hate groups” mainstream, well-known conservative individuals and organizations who merely speak out about the threat of radical Islam.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/08/mainstream-conservatives-are-on-cnns-hate-group-list/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p class="selectionShareable"><em>Written by Michael Haverluck</em></p>
<p class="selectionShareable">Pro-Islamic education is becoming a staple in public education from the Atlantic to the Pacific, where Islam is taught as a religion of peace, and those who do not embrace it as such are stigmatized as intolerant, bigots, haters or just plain ignorant – and some parents have had enough.</p>
<p class="selectionShareable">“In Florida … parents are protesting a newly approved textbook they say whitewashes Islam’s violent history of conquest and subjugation, while in San Diego, an angry father confronted the city’s school board about its partnership with the controversial Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] in an ‘anti-bullying’ program,” <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/rebellion-grows-against-muslim-indoctrination-in-schools/%20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WND reported</a>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/05/parents-decry-islamization-in-schools-across-u-s/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
