<p>At a campaign rally on August 1st, <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>, while simultaneously taking a shot at <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, boasted of her superior crime-fighting ability, especially of her prosecutorial experience and skills. Using a cringe-worthy fake southern accent, Harris said:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;"><em>“As many of you know, before I was elected Vice President and before I was elected a United States Senator, I was an elected Attorney General and an elected District Attorney. And before that, I was a courtroom prosecutor.</em></span></p></blockquote>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/harris-the-crime-fighter-2/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a>]]></description>

<p>Most pundits credit the Democrats’ election victories last Tuesday to the nation’s apparently unquenchable lust for abortion.</p>
<p>They have a point.</p>
<p>Democrats kept the focus off potent issues such as crime, raging inflation, millions of illegal immigrants, the war on domestic energy production, and President Biden’s bizarre behavior.</p>
<p>Using abortion like a club, Democrats in Virginia flipped the state House and kept the Senate, albeit by paper-thin majorities. They kept control in Fairfax and Loudoun counties.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/11/gop-must-go-on-the-offensive-and-call-out-democrats-extremism-to-win-2024-elections/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>We were very impressed with the energy, conservative values, and the leadership <strong>Travis Weaver</strong>, running for Illinois State Representative in District 93, showed at our interview session. His record of accomplishment and community involvement, at just 29 years old, gives us great encouragement for the future.</p>
<p>As the state’s only full time Christian pro-life/pro-family organization, Illinois Family Action is proud to endorse the following candidates running for office:</p>
<p><a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2022/05/ifas-pro-life-pro-family-primary-picks-for-2022-b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-20245 aligncenter" src="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Endorse-Travis-Weaver_600x200.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" srcset="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Endorse-Travis-Weaver_600x200.jpg 600w, https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Endorse-Travis-Weaver_600x200-300x100.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>This week, the Biden White House hosted the family of <strong>George Floyd</strong> to mark the one-year anniversary of his death in police custody. His brother, Philonise, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/555222-george-floyds-brother-on-anniversary-of-murder-i-think-things-have" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-ol-has-click-handler="">expressed</a> hope that things are &#8220;slowly&#8221; moving in the right direction and that they are &#8220;making progress&#8221; in their war on cops. However, what is not going in the right direction is justice for victims of crime thanks to the agenda spawned by their movement.</p>
<p>Thanks to the pandemic and less social mobility, crime has been decreasing in most countries.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/blms-legacy-a-year-later-terror-on-americas-streets/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Russ Stewart</em></p>
<p align="justify">Chicago doesn&#8217;t need a new police superintendent. It already has one: the American Civil Liberties Union. It is &#8220;Superintendent ACLU,&#8221; and the &#8220;ACLU Rule&#8221; governs on-street activity and monitors police conduct.</p>
<p align="justify">Every time a police officer makes a traffic stop, questions a suspect or talks to anybody on the street, a seven-page &#8220;stop card&#8221; must be prepared and filed, and a copy is forwarded to the ACLU. Every &#8220;contact&#8221; must be given a written receipt, which goes into the police department&#8217;s database.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/03/aclu-rule-will-make-chicago-heroin-heaven/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
