In 2008 Republicans joined Democrats to void the electoral college in Illinois. Kirk Dillard was front and center in the destruction. Jim Edgar thinks he knows what the Founding Fathers meant, so he supported re-writing the Constitution. Illinois electoral college votes will now go to whatever candidate wins the popular nationwide vote. A Republican could […]
by Diane Benjamin The GOP has one last chance to keep their base. Conservatives have had enough of collusion and capitulation with Democrats. We’ve had enough of John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain. If the GOP does not vote to DEFUND ObamaCare – they own it! A majority of Americans don’t want […]
by: Diane Benjamin The American people aren’t really interested in immigration reform, not when the country has so many other problems. In poll after poll, immigration is way down the list – Amnesty NEVER makes the list unless you are a progressive Democrat. The NSA is collecting massive amounts of data and turning the United […]
by: Diane Benjamin 2010: remember it? The year the GOP won election after election after election across the country and re-took the House of Representatives in DC. Illinois alone sent 5 new GOP reps – the people were mad at Democrats for slamming ObamaCare down their throats and all the other shenanigans perpetrated by Democrats […]
by: Diane Benjamin See previous post: http://blnnews.com/2013/06/27/its-your-money/ The entire story detailing the corruption in Illinois at the highest levels will appear in the Wall Street Journal very soon. Illinois got involved with a company named CNSI through an intergovernmental agreement with Michigan, so not even the legislators knew what the Department of Health and […]
Since the #ILGOP is immaterial: The Illinois Opportunity Project, a non-profit policy advocacy organization promoting free minds and free markets, is looking for candidates to run for the offices of State Representative and State Senator across Illinois. 118 State House seats. 59 State Senate seats. These offices belong to the people; they are not the […]

by Diane Benjamin The local GOP is holding the annual Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner April 16th. The key-note speaker is Sharon Day, co-chair of the Republican National Committee. Recently the RNC announced they will now play the Identity Politics game – they will reach out to minority voters. Is that what Ronald Reagan did? Are GOP […]
by Diane Benjamin Please read Parts 1 and 2, the narrative continues from the progressive ideas spelled out so far. Part II of The Little Blue Book is titled: The Epidemic of Extreme Conservatism. The concept that conservatives follow the strict authoritarian father model continue painting anyone wanting limited government as a threat to democracy. They fail to mention […]
Below is a section of the Illinois GOP platform adopted 6/9/2012. This section speaks to immigration issues in Illinois. Note E and F. Where does issuing drivers licenses to illegal immigrants fit into the platform? Bill Brady, can you answer since you voted Yes? How does your vote “abandon incentives for illegal aliens to settle in Illinois”? […]
The #GOP leadership is supporting drivers licenses for illegal aliens. http://www.sj-r.com/breaking/x1156351109/State-GOP-leaders-back-drivers-licenses-for-illegal-immigrants According to the GOP, it’s okay to break the law by being in Illinois, work in Illinois, but somehow they will magically follow other laws? What makes them believe illegals will buy insurance? Pandering to illegal immigrants, just like the Democrats do, will not win any […]
Holding out hope that Illinois is finally cracking down on public sector unions may be misguided They may be just giving the union members in GOP areas of the state a hard time. See this report: Welcome to Reeder Report, a service provided by the Illinois Policy Institute. The purpose of this free report is to […]
The Illinois GOP is going to support giving illegal aliens a drivers license! Anybody surprised? Your GOP representatives won’t care, but try calling anyway! More reasons they shouldn’t: Providing illegal aliens driver’s licenses would not increase road safety or decrease the number of uninsured drivers on the road. New Mexico issues driver’s licenses to illegal […]
I also wish Republicans could communicate the truth like this guy. Unfortunately, the left is allowed to “Blame the Rich”. (and America falls for it)
Below are links to reported voter fraud around the country. Is America now a 3rd World country? A Banana Republic? Why are Democrats opposed to voter ID? It’s obvious. _________________________________ Add this link from Chicago: http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dc7e34c0cb16d56936e2a2607&id=fe984d967f&e=13c8501270 Think Lisa Madigan will prosecute?

by Diane Benjamin It’s impossible to believe slightly over half of America voted for free stuff. High gas prices are the new normal, high electricity rates will follow with the war on coal, high unemployment will go even higher as businesses refuse to hire because of ObamaCare and over regulation. Hope your free contraceptives make up the […]
Beware – it has raw language. Michael Moore helped make this short video. Many people have been convinced that showing an ID to vote is an attempt to suppress the vote. They are right. We no longer want the dead, illegal, and in-eligible voting!
October 26, 2012 – (Rockton, Illinois) – Early voters are flocking to county clerk’s offices across the state, but, sadly, most will be surprised when the first thing they encounter on their ballot is Illinois Constitution Amendment 49. The amendment purports to protect taxpayers from rash simple majority votes on state employee pension benefits by […]
by Diane Benjamin Conveniently, now that the Feds own an empty prison, Sen. Barbara Boxer is lamenting the lack of space in current Federal prisons to house the Gitmo detainees. Even though there is currently a law against bringing the prisoners here, a second Obama administration will surely turn Illinois into Gitmo north.

Illinois Review posted a story this weekend about Madigan’s pension mess. It concentrated on the bill allowing people to work briefly for the state, then work for a union, then collect huge state pensions based on their work for other organizations instead of the state. Madigan, of course, wrote the bill to benefit an […]
When buzzing in my ear is too great to ignore – I must report! GOP is so inept in Illinois they are making no attempt no attempt to flip Illinois to Romney/Ryan. Quinn won by 20,000 votes – only 3 Counties out of 101. Democrats continue to destroy the state. Only 38% of voters outside Cook County […]
The County ballot for the November 6th, 2012 election has been released. There are 24 races on the ballot, most will have less depending on where you live. Of the 24 races, 7 have a choice of who to vote for. REAPEAT: 17 of the races give you NO choice of who to vote for. Bill Brady […]
The head of the Illinois GOP was interviewed on Champaign radio today discussing various area races. He FAILS to mention a game changing race in Champaign/Danville – John Bambenek who is running for Illinois Senate against a Democrat who currently holds the seat, Mike Frerichs. Frerichs has never met a tax hike he didn’t like. […]

Illinois Republican lawmakers seem strangely quiet on the CTU strike. Few press releases. Even fewer comments. Might it have something to do with teachers union support? Below are some of the contributions the Illinois Education Association – Illinois’ largest […]
Joe Biden, Joe Biden New favorite line – Osama Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Sorry Joe, GM filed for bankruptcy after we the taxpayers shoveled tons of money at them. In fact, they still owe of $50 billion. And, they are getting ready to file for bankruptcy again. See previous post: http://blnnews.com/2012/08/20/so-obama-saved-the-car-industry/ Joe, you […]
by Diane Benjamin Democrats control the Illinois House Democrats control the Illinois Senate The Governor if a Democrat . . . and they have been in the majority for a long time. But they can’t pass anything to fix the fiscal mess in Illinois because Republicans aren’t helping. Sure. In other words, the Republicans haven’t […]
Jackie Johnson was a delegate to the RNC and is a faithful Tea Party supporter. The following is first-hand evidence from her Facebook page of the duplicity of the RNC: Jackie Johnson This was awful today. Just awful. Our entire WI delegation–establishment, TP, Paulies, everyone from the top down–was UNITED in our desire to vote those […]

The 2012 election has often been described as the most pivotal since 1860. This statement is not hyperbole. If Barack Obama is re-elected the United States will never be the same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status as the most dominant nation in the history of mankind. The overwhelming majority […]

by Diane Benjamin This is a teaser post – much more information will follow. The Illinois GOP – specifically Christine Radogno – is conducting a war on conservative candidates running for office in Illinois. She did the same thing during the primary a LOST BIG! Sorry Christine – conservatives are still on the ballot for […]

The GOP is awful at messaging and almost completely unwilling. to say what they mean, maybe because their words are consistently twisted by the left for political gain. An actual conversation between the 2 sides is now impossible. The left will always have a message, even if they have to make it up. Example: The […]
by Diane Benjamin Once again the Republican Party in Illinois shows ZERO leadership ability. The final session of the legislature was a circus created by Mike Madigan to pass whatever legislation he approved of, a lot of it created to benefit his law clients.

by Diane Benjamin First, I must express my outrage again over Tim Johnson’s sudden decision to not run in November AFTER winning the March 20th primary. He obviously tried to determine his successor instead of leaving his seat in the hands of the people, sorry Tim, but it belongs to us. Last night a forum […]
