By: Diane Benjamin If you didn’t attend the showing of “Scramble the SeaWolves” last night at the Normal Theater, you missed a great movie. It told the story of Navy helicopter crews who provided defense in Vietnam. Didn’t know the Navy had helicopters? Until this movie most people didn’t. The SeaWolves formed out of need […]
By: Diane Benjamin BHS is now nationally famous for firing a conservative teacher AND handing out gun propaganda to students! It was by accident I found the document, what else is going on we don’t know about? Anybody think indoctrination was a one time event? Have the students ever heard the story behind the 2nd […]
By: Diane Benjamin I attended the District 87 School Board meeting last night. Evidently not many people speak at Public Comment because they have NO Public Comment rules. Public Comment is at the end of the meeting and anyone who wants to speak can with no time limits. (Refreshing!) Two students spoke in support of […]

By: Diane Benjamin Rep Dan Brady has a huge office in Springfield because he is part of the House GOP leadership team. The email below was sent to Dan Brady. Democrats in Illinois think if they can close every gun store in the state no guns will exist. They are pushing a bill to make […]
By: Diane Benjamin Isn’t heroin illegal Pantagraph? How’s that working out? You just did a series on it! They couldn’t help themselves. Today they called for more gun control. Gun control is nothing more than an attempt to keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. News Flash: Criminals don’t care what laws you […]
Some Illinois leaders want your guns instead locking up criminals with guns. Criminals will always have guns, law-abiding citizens are the ones at risk: Check out ISRA’s website at http://www.isra.org!
By: Diane Benjamin I hear the Obama speech from the Oval Office tonight will contain his Executive Action plan to impose gun control. Violating the Constitution has never bothered him, this will be no exception. In honor of his speech, here’s some things I found this week about why the Founder’s instituted the 2nd amendment: […]
As a country, we are not to be trifled with or treaded upon… A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .. Allow me to restate that number: 600,000! Over the […]

Mark Kirk sent the following email after his YES vote for a gun control bill that failed yesterday in the US Senate: Dear Friends, Last week, I met with Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy who highlighted an unfortunate statistic: 40 percent of guns were purchased without a background check. I have made it one of […]
Mr. President, As a student who was shot and wounded during the Columbine massacre, I have a few thoughts on the current gun debate. In regards to your gun control initiatives: Universal Background Checks First, a universal background check will have many devastating effects. It will arguably have the opposite impact of what you propose. […]
by: Diane Benjamin The recent horror at Sandy Hook Elementary is bringing back talk of banning guns. People who say a gun is the best defense against a gun aren’t well received by people wanting to ban them. If you have never shot a gun, I understand the apprehension. If you have been trained in gun […]

By: Charles Nicholson Dear Governor Quinn: I read your statement in an article today (7/31/12) in the Chicago WLS news stating, “I’ve sworn an oath to uphold our constitution, every single amendment,” and “I believe in it, the right to bear arms. But I also believe there is a right to public safety.” Governor, […]
