The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a left-wing group intent on causing racial animosity and divisions in our nation. No responsible media group would use or trust their “hate” designations for the same reasons that no one should trust the war and casualty reports coming from Hamas Jihadists in Gaza.

We know that the many cultural battles we face today are spiritual battles that cannot be won by relying solely on our own strength and methods. In truth, these battles must first and continually be waged through prayer to our holy, righteous and merciful God.

The current General Assembly session will end soon. With your support we were blessed to help educate, advocate and oppose lousy polices. We are up against a coordinated movement by Apostles of Wokeism, including the Leftist media, and many political officials that are hostile to biblical morality. But opportunities (and responsibilities) to be the salt and light in our culture is growing!

A bi-partisan group of State Representatives recently filed HR 700 at the Capitol in Springfield. This resolution calls for a cap on THC levels in retail marijuana.

Have you noticed how few campaign ads are running on radio and television? In some communities, it is hard not to notice that there are fewer campaign signs on parkways and lawns. And that is especially true in southern Illinois. In this Primary Election cycle there is a striking lack of competition for a majority of state legislative districts.

The forces of darkness in Illinois want to take the state’s death agenda to the next level. Some deceived politicians have now introduced an assisted suicide—euphemistically referred to as a “Medical Aid in Dying” or “Death with Dignity”—bill in Springfield. A bill sponsored by Illinois Senator Linda Holmes (D-Aurora), SB 3499 creates the “End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act.”

God has blessed America with the gift of self-government -- a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people." Voting is a privilege that millions of people in other parts of the world are denied.
