The election is over. The fight for Illinois families continues. Parental consent for school mental health screenings, prostitution decriminalization, and efforts to ban abortion pill reversal loom in Springfield. Stay informed. Stand firm. Refuse to remain silent.

Illinois voters head to the polls today, and pro-family candidates need our support. Values voters must pray fervently for our state and nation—and put those prayers into action by voting. Our voices matter. Our votes matter. Let’s make them count—in this election and every election.

Illinois still ranks among the Top 5 states for religious liberty—but we've slipped from #1 to #5 in just two years. Religious liberty and parental rights cannot be taken for granted. Elections have consequences. As lawmakers continue to chip away at these fundamental freedoms, people of faith must pray, vote, and boldly defend our God-given liberties.

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.

Many people of faith are deeply distressed over the extent to which government actions affect our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Yet, too many people in the pews next to us simply do not vote! I’ve been involved in all aspects of elections for decades and I’ve agonized over this lack of civic engagement on the part of my fellow Christians.

Government bureaucracy cannot replace a loving mom & dad. Yet too often in Illinois, politicians act as if children belong to the state. Parents are not obstacles to overcome—they are the first & most important influence in a child's life.

Springfield is in the final stretch of session, and major legislation is moving fast. From attacks on parental rights and the Second Amendment to expanded abortion policies, mental health screening mandates, and godless gender ideology, Illinois families cannot afford to tune out.

Tick. Tock. Springfield’s clock is running out, and lawmakers are pushing controversial bills in the final days of session. More bureaucracy. Less parental authority. More red flags for Illinois families. Stay informed and take action.

Illinois lawmakers legalized marijuana in 2020, and the state now has more than 275 dispensaries. Now some lawmakers want to legalize more mind-altering substances: psychedelics, including “magic mushrooms.”
