<p>On Monday, Jan. 6, Congress will convene to certify the 2024 reelection of former President Donald Trump. Jan. 6, 2025, marks the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot that Democrats and their media still falsely portray as an “insurrection.”</p>
<p>Hundreds of Trump supporters gathered at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Mr. Trump spoke to a crowd. Among other things, he said:</p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;">“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that’s what this is all about.</span>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/01/how-democrats-mainstream-media-used-and-abused-jan-6-insurrection/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Tuesday, we did it. We elected <strong>Donald Trump</strong>.</p>
<p>A friend sent me a note on social media this past Wednesday morning: “Well, he did it!”</p>
<p>That was all it said: He did it.</p>
<p>Indeed, he did.</p>
<p>On Tuesday night, after months of shaking his fist in the face of big government, Big Pharma and the Beltway oligarchs who were  threatening his life, liberty and property, Donald Trump became the president-elect.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/trump-will-be-our-47th-president/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>For months, it’s been clear that people on either side are terrified that the opposing presidential candidate will win.</p>
<p>Democrats have doubled down on their assertion that <strong>Donald Trump</strong> is a fascist or even a Nazi dictator in waiting. They warn of the end of democracy should he win.</p>
<p>Republicans fear that <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> will push a Marxist agenda and create a one-party state by removing election safeguards such as voter ID while continuing to facilitate the illegal invasion of millions of aliens.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/11/this-election-far-more-consequential-than-it-should-be/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In the name of “democracy,” Democrats want to get rid of our current system of government.</p>
<p>That’s no small thing, given that the Constitution has held up for 240 years — longer than any other. The founders’ design of a federal republic with representative decision-making and checks and balances has ensured unparalleled freedom and prosperity, unlike “democratic people’s” regimes worldwide.</p>
<p>Some liberals are so angry at U.S. Senator <strong>Joe Manchin</strong>, West Virginia Democrat, for capsizing Joe Biden’s $5 trillion socialist Build Back Better bill that they want to do away with the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/12/the-dark-side-of-the-lefts-tyrannical-democracy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>A dark cloud looms over the United States today — a storm cloud of tyranny. All the rest is noise — a diversion.</p>
<p>If self-congratulatory pats on the back could cause skin damage, Trump haters would have leprosy. Having been on a witch hunt to burn him at the impeachment stake since he took office, they believe they are vindicated forevermore.</p>
<p>But apart from their brutal mistreatment of President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> from the beginning through their coordinated and malicious hoaxes that incidentally rejected lawful election results (in 2016), and apart from the question of whether they have some legitimate complaints against him, this is still not mainly about him.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/real-threats-to-democracy-still-come-from-the-left/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>America needs God-fearing patriots like never before! Establishment Media (aka Fake News) has cheered for and now celebrates the inaugural events for <strong>Joe Biden</strong> and <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>. Even some formerly stalwart outlets, such as Fox News Channel, have succumbed to the narrative.</p>
<p>But what is the truth, and how should conservatives respond?</p>
<p>Looking at the situation following Election 2020, the outlook seems bleak. The <em>AP</em> and every &#8220;news&#8221; station declared Mr.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/01/standing-with-trump-against-election-fraud/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

They ignored the 3rd District, where state U.S. Representative <strong>Greg Murphy</strong> swamped Democrat <strong>Allen Thomas</strong> with nearly 60 percent of the vote to fill the seat of the late U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/09/fake-news-narrative-trump-is-in-trouble/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>So, here’s the Democrats’ plan: Flood America’s southern border with millions of illegal aliens, hook them on government aid and eventually turn them into voters. It can’t be more obvious anymore.</p>
<p>Use the courts to strike down any attempts to secure the border.  Have judges rule against election integrity laws like voter ID or even the commonsense question about citizenship in the 2020 national census. Once the census count is in, grant more congressional districts and federal funds to jurisdictions swelled with illegals.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/07/the-democrats-open-border-campaign-strategy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>When <strong>Pete Buttigieg</strong>, the little-known mayor of South Bend, Indiana, announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination, he stunned the political world with his meteoric rise in the polls.  Buttigieg was everywhere in the news and on television, thanks to a savvy campaign team that included political operative <strong>Lis Smith</strong>, who boasted, “I want him on everything.”  In a month, he had raised 7 million dollars, a significant sum for a political nobody starting from scratch in a national campaign.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/05/the-siren-call-of-pete-buttigieg/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Adults in the Democratic Party, who seem like flustered parents at an out-of-control toddler birthday bash, have been warning about the public’s perception of them.</p>
<p>U.S. House Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong> (D-CA) has reason to worry. The 22 declared candidates for the presidential nomination lean far to the Left.  Which means they represent the center of their now-far-Left party.</p>
<p>The mini-wave for “moderate” <strong>Joe Biden</strong> reflects a desperate pullback from the zany public image fostered by wild-haired Vermont socialist U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/05/democrats-lurch-ever-leftward/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>With a fraudulent Russian collusion claim no longer in their hip pocket, Democrats are still optimistic about recapturing the White House and the U.S. Senate in 2020.</p>
<p>But they are tired of competing.  To ensure the desired outcome, they’ve proposed steps that would finish off the national, two-party system for all intents and purposes.</p>
<p>First, they oppose any efforts to strengthen the border and reduce illegal immigration.  They want to ensure a massive flow of undocumented Democrats and recruits for the Free Stuff Army.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/04/the-dems-plan-to-make-elections-obsolete/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Elad Hakim</em></p>
<p>Rep.<strong> Steve Cohen</strong>, (D-Tenn.), recently introduced a proposed constitutional amendment that would eliminate the Electoral College.  This was obviously done in response to the fact that <strong><a href="http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/national/house-democrats-move-to-eliminate-electoral-college-limit-presidential-pardon-power">Hillary Clinton</a> </strong>lost the 2016 election despite winning nearly 3 million more votes than <strong>President Trump.</strong>  According to Cohen, the Electoral College is outdated and distorting.</p>
<p>In a recent <a href="http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/national/house-democrats-move-to-eliminate-electoral-college-limit-presidential-pardon-power">Fox News</a> article, Cohen was quoted as saying, &#8220;Americans expect and deserve the winner of the popular vote to win office.  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/01/the-electoral-college-must-remain/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>It looks like <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> will finish with slightly more popular votes than President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, who won a clear majority of Electoral votes [two weeks ago].</p>
<p>Predictably, Democrats are clamoring to abolish the Electoral College, which the Founders created as part of the separation of powers and a hedge against mob rule.</p>
<p>Big states with large cities dominated by Democrats are disadvantaged by the winner-take-all rules, the Dems argue. California, New York and Illinois went big for Mrs.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/11/dump-lax-election-enforcement-not-electoral-college/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

Author, lawyer and Electoral College expert <strong>Tara Ross</strong> does, and she explains that to understand the Electoral College is to understand American democracy.</p>

<p><em>Written by Bruce Walker</em></p>
<p>Many conservatives, including me, thought nothing but the best about <strong>Dr. Ben Carson</strong>&#8216;s run for the White House&#8230;until now.  Recently, Dr. Carson has suggested that we need to get rid of the Electoral College because it disregards the &#8220;will of the people.&#8221;  Underlying this proposal is the idea that pure, national democracy is the best form of government.</p>
<p>Dr. Carson displayed shocking ignorance of American history when he told Fox News: &#8220;When the Electoral College was put in place, a lot of people did not know what was going on. &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/04/dr-carsons-bad-idea/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
