<p data-start="91" data-end="526"><strong>Dr. Susan Monarez</strong>, PhD—a microbiologist, public health official, and former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—testified yesterday before the <a href="https://www.help.senate.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee</a>. She alleged that she was fired for refusing to comply with directives from Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary <strong>Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</strong>, which she said would have compromised scientific integrity.</p>
<p data-start="528" data-end="843">According to Monarez, she was pressured to approve changes to the childhood vaccination schedule, including the possible removal of the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/09/u-s-senator-paul-challenges-vaccine-recommendations-for-infants/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The <strong>Democrat Party</strong> of 2024 bears no resemblance to the Democrat Party of the 1960s. To be fair, neither does the <strong>Republican Party</strong>. The important difference is that the Republicans have maintained a commitment to and love for our original principles, while the Democrats have become the party that is ashamed of our founding.</p>
<p>In an August 15<sup>th</sup> post on <strong>X</strong>, <strong>Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.</strong> wrote that the Party today <em>“would be unrecognizable to my father and my uncle .</em>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/the-last-leg-of-a-long-march/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Dr. Lucian Gideon Conway III</em></p>
<p>Freedom inherently involves risks. If you want your children to roam free at the local playground, they might injure themselves on the big slide. If you want the freedom to watch baseball, someone might get hit in the head by a stray line drive. All decisions about <em>restricting</em> freedom thus require a cost/benefit analysis that weighs the benefits of freedom against the potential risks.</p>
<p>In practice, this analysis requires two very different sets of considerations.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/01/integrating-politics-and-science-by-first-separating-them/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It’s not healthy when citizens automatically discount whatever the government or media tell them.</p>
<p>That’s what happens in totalitarian countries like North Korea, China or Venezuela.</p>
<p>We have this now in America, thanks to a ruling elite who lie ever more boldly. Girls can be boys. Men can be women. The border is secure. Inflation is all in your head. COVID-19 will kill you unless you do exactly what we tell you to do.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/08/the-lies-that-blind-american-citizens/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Liberal commentator <strong>Bari Weiss</strong> made headlines last weekend by prosecuting the actions of U.S. public health entities and government for their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that future generations will consider them to have committed a &#8220;moral crime.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“This [pandemic] is going to be remembered by the younger generation as a catastrophic moral crime.&#34; &#8211;<a href="https://twitter.com/bariweiss?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BariWeiss</a> <a href="https://t.co/yccNbqZObj">pic.twitter.com/yccNbqZObj</a></p>

<p>Her words may have inflamed the Fauci-fanatics in American society, but coming on the heels of the CDC&#8217;s stunning admission that natural immunity was six times more effective during the Delta variant wave – despite the fact that public health officials shamed those who were suggesting as much at the time – there are more citizens than ever who are now choosing COVID realism over alarmism.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/01/the-covid-debacle-should-end-all-calls-for-government-run-healthcare/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>What do you call a government that will mask an asymptomatic 2-year-old American but bring in people without measles and polio vaccines from the most disease-ridden countries in middle of a pandemic?</p>
<p>You have to give Australia credit. At least it is consistent about its totalitarian approach to the pandemic. While Australian officials repress their own people, they most certainly don&#8217;t allow foreigners into their country either. America, on the other hand, has now commandeered the bodily integrity of its own citizens under the guise of combatting a pandemic with a vaccine that doesn&#8217;t even work.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/09/the-governments-mass-migration-from-disease-ridden-countries-during-a-pandemic-is-quite-revealing/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Last October, the District of Columbia passed a law allowing health officials to vaccinate children as young as 11 without their parent’s knowledge or permission. Seriously.</p>
<p>You probably didn’t hear about this. The media avoid covering topics that might arouse the citizenry to reassert their constitutional and parental rights. How about the CDC’s recommendation to mask any child over two years old? Not big news.</p>
<p>Can’t you see newly empowered health police patrolling playgrounds to make sure all toddlers are masked?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/08/the-covid-19-war-on-children/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
