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.”

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.

For the past half century, I have watched the federal government, state governments, and local governments throughout this country - including here in Illinois - systematically squeeze parents out of their children's care and replace them with agents of the state.

Illinois lawmakers admit preborn life has dignity… yet still allow it to be destroyed. That’s the contradiction of HB 4839. It has passed the Illinois House and now moves to the Illinois Senate. Contact your state senator and urge a NO vote. Christians must not stay silent.

During the 104th session of the Illinois General Assembly (2025–2026), lawmakers in Springfield have introduced more than 9,900 pieces of legislation impacting families, taxpayers, parental rights, and our communities. If we do not speak out now, these big government proposals will move forward.

Illinois lawmakers are considering changes that reduce restrictions on convicted child sex offenders—cutting buffer zones near schools and easing reporting requirements. This isn’t reform. It’s a step backward for child safety. Protecting children should be non-negotiable.

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.

HB 4372 just passed the Illnois House: mandating “Latine studies” in every public school. More identity-based mandates. More bureaucracy. Same failing outcomes. They’re not requiring schools to teach real history—just to check identity boxes. Meanwhile, students keep falling behind in math, science, and reading.

The state of Illinois is number one! We are number one in terms of unfunded pension liabilities now at $144,000,000,000. You might think that this should be the major focus of our legislators in Springfield. But believe it or not, they have other priorities including human composting.

A coordinated push in Springfield could reshape how schools handle “mental health”—with less parental input and more state control. Families must act NOW before these bills advance.

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.
