Nancy Pelosi famously said, “we must pass the (health care) law in order to find out what is in the law.” Now that ObamaCare is law, the mysteries contained within are slowly coming to light.

While there is reason to hope that ObamaCare will be overturned by the Supreme Court, our state is taking steps to comply with the mandates laid out in the law.

Tell Governor Quinn to Veto Speed Camera Bill

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Automated speed cameras are one step closer to becoming reality, and your action is needed to stop this boondoggle from becoming law.

The Speed Camera bill blew through the legislature in Illinois' Fall Veto Session, and the Governor has until February 6 to either veto, or sign the measure into law. His decision could come at any time.

They're Back, and They Want Your Guns

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

The Illinois legislature is back in session, and your rights are already under assault.

While many state legislatures are working to loosen gun restrictions and some are even adopting Constitutional Carry laws, Illinois remains the most anti-Second Amendment state in the nation.

One Mile-an-Hour Over the Posted Speed Limit Could Cost You a $100.00 Fine

Friday, October 21, 2011

They're back, and they want to squeeze every penny out of you they can.

The Illinois Fall Veto Session is set for October 25, 26, and 27 and November 8, 9, and 10.

While the intent of the Fall Veto Session is to override vetoes of bills that occurred over the summer, the legislature sometimes attempts to pass new legislation when most of their constituents aren't looking.

This year we have much to be concerned about.
