Springfield doesn’t just pass bad policy — it has developed trap doors to help politicians escape transparency and accountability. Last-minute amendments. Rushed votes. Backroom maneuvers. Illinois families deserve better than government by political gamesmanship.

Praise God: the Illinois General Assembly has finally gone home! But not before advancing more big-government schemes, anti-family policies, and burdens on taxpayers. The fight is not over. We must remain vigilant, engaged, & prayerful.

Illinois families are drowning in rising costs—gasoline, food, insurance, utilities. And now Springfield risks driving property taxes even higher? Enough is enough. Stop squeezing families to feed wasteful and unaccountable government.

Springfield is moving fast—multiple bills advancing that will impact families, parental rights, and our communities. If we stay silent, we shouldn’t be surprised by the results. Don’t assume others will speak up—your voice matters. Your prayers matter.

Two dozen bad bills pushed in Springfield last week. Thankfully, most were stopped—for now. But 7 are moving forward, including abortion expansion, gender ideology, and state overreach into families. The fight isn’t over. Take action while lawmakers are home on break.

The Democrats will still have supermajorities in each chamber of the Illinois General Assembly in the 104th General Assembly (2025-2026). It seems that they are primarily focused on legislative ways to “Trump-proof” Illinois, whatever that entails.
