<p>America’s fiscal baseline is rapidly approaching a critical juncture. With the Social Security Trust Fund officially projected to be exchausted in 2032, everyday citizens and families are facing an uncertain economic horizon. If left unaddressed, the impending insolvency could trigger abrupt benefit reductions of 20% to 30%, destabilizing millions of households nationwide.</p>
<p>In response to these compounding challenges, Illinois Family Action is proud to host two &#8216;<strong>Save America Rallies&#8217;</strong> featuring co-authors <strong>David M.</strong>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/08/common-sense-solutions-for-americas-fiscal-future/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On Labor Day, the traditional start of fall election campaigns, <em>Real Clear Politics</em> gave <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> a lead of 1.8 points in the national polls. On the same date in 2020, <strong>Joe Biden</strong> had a 7.2 point lead. On the same date in 2016, <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong> had a 4.1 point lead.</p>
<p>While this appears to be comforting news, the three races were different because the first two races had October Surprises that favored <strong>Donald J.</strong>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/09/making-it-too-big-to-rig/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The lies were thick and fast all week at the Democratic National Convention, but never so blatantly as they were in Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>’ acceptance speech.</p>
<p>The Democratic presidential nominee accused her opponent, former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>, of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare (he has not); being weak on border enforcement (he had it under control before President Biden and Ms. Harris took office) and sending an “armed mob” to the Capitol on Jan.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/08/democrats-new-way-forward-one-lie-at-a-time/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Imagine if Republicans were to seize a pivotal moment to engage in a sustained national debate over issues like inflation, crime, national security threats, and the costs associated with <strong>Joe Biden</strong>’s border policies. No political analyst would suggest that Democrats could withstand such focused scrutiny on top national concerns where a supermajority of voters oppose Biden’s policies.</p>
<p>So, instead of avoiding a budget fight in September, why not confront it head-on?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/a-golden-opportunity-to-highlight-bidens-blunders-september/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Remember when Democrats proposed in their multi-trillion spendathon that the IRS would track all transactions of $600 or more in personal bank accounts?</p>
<p>Well, they took a licking from the public, so they upped it to a still-absurd $10,000 in total yearly transactions.</p>
<p>This means they want the IRS prowling into bank accounts of everyone who has either deposits or withdrawals over an entire year totaling $10,000 or more, excluding wage income.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/11/leftists-believe-that-all-our-earnings-like-our-children-belong-to-the-government/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Another American dreamer has lost her life, allegedly killed by an illegal alien who was only in the country because of the open-borders agenda.</p>
<p><strong>Cristhian Bahena Rivera</strong> is a 24-year-old Mexican who came here illegally between four and seven years ago and allegedly murdered University of Iowa student <strong>Molly Tibbetts</strong>. In a twist of tragic irony, he was employed by a business owned by the family of a prominent Republican open-borders activist.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/08/how-e-verify-and-immigration-enforcement-can-prevent-more-murders/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>[Over the summer], MSNBC host and former U.S. Congressman from Florida <strong>Joe Scarborough</strong> said on a late night talk show that he was no longer a Republican. Scarborough admitted that he would be registering as an Independent. This is the same Joe Scarborough who came of age in the constitutional conservative ideological legislative revolution of one <strong>Newt Gingrich</strong> and his “Contract with America”. Of course, these days there are many folks changing their party affiliations to Independent.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/09/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-republican/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
