					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by David E. Smith</em></p>
<p>Last week, we reported on comments made by State Senator <strong>Steve McClure</strong> (R-Effingham) in which he raised serious concerns after discovering that the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) had sent voter registration materials to noncitizens applying for state assistance. That revelation alone sparked widespread concern and raised an obvious question: Why would a state agency be placing voter registration materials into the hands of individuals who are not legally eligible to vote?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/05/rep-niemerg-sounds-alarm-over-noncitizen-voter-registration-mailings/" 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>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Nancy Hayes</em></p>
<p>Illinois Republican candidate <strong>Adam Niemerg</strong> was removed from the ballot for the upcoming March primary due to failure to “properly notarize his statement of candidacy.”</p>
<p>This was ruled a failure on Niemerg’s part to fulfill his obligation under the <a href="https://witnessslips.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs4.asp?DocName=000503120HArt.+VII&#38;ActID=107&#38;ChapterID=2&#38;SeqStart=4850000&#38;SeqEnd=5850000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois Notary Act</a>.</p>
<p>Recently, two citizens asked the Illinois State Board of Elections to follow these same statutes for <strong>Joe Biden</strong> for President. It appears that like Niemerg, Biden is also in violation of the Illinois Notary Act for failure to “properly notarize his statement of candidacy.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/exposing-deep-state-corruption-illinois-state-board-of-elections-outed/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>An hour before that meeting, the <a href="https://illinoisfreedomcaucus.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois Freedom Caucus</a> held a press conference demanding answers to some of the concerns Manteno residents have with a Chinese company building a battery plant in their community.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/10/aiding-our-adversary-ccp-gets-8b-illinois-taxdollars/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Nancy Hayes</em></p>
<p>At a recent <strong>Three Headed Eagle Alliance</strong> event called “Pints and Politics,” <strong>Dan Caulkins</strong> (R-Decatur), a member of the Illinois Freedom Caucus stated: <em>“No non-citizen American should ever be in a position to arrest an American citizen in America.”</em></p>
<p><a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-12.28.24-PM.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-23907 aligncenter" src="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-12.28.24-PM.png" alt="" width="692" height="515" srcset="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-12.28.24-PM.png 930w, https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-12.28.24-PM-300x223.png 300w, https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-12.28.24-PM-768x571.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px" /></a></p>
<p>This seems like an obvious statement, but Caulkins was responding to the recent passing of <strong>HB 3751</strong>, which amends the Illinois Municipal Code by adding the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>An individual who is <strong>not a citizen but is legally authorized to work in the U.S.</strong></p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/non-citizens-will-have-the-power-to-arrest-legal-american-citizens-in-illinois/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Nancy Hayes</em></p>
<p>History tends to repeat itself. This is certainly true of “Ranked Choice Voting” in Illinois.</p>
<p>You may remember a junior state senator in Illinois by the name of <strong>Barack Obama</strong>. In 2001, then-Senator Obama introduced a bill that would have put on the ballot a Constitutional Amendment to elect the Illinois House of Representatives by “fair voting” in 3-seat districts elected by voters given cumulative voting rights.</p>
<p>Then, in 2002, Obama introduced a bill that would have required that partisan primaries for congressional office be conducted by “instant runoff voting” or IRV, also known as ranked-choice voting.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/03/ranked-choice-voting-missing-the-point-on-needed-reform-in-illinois/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
