Over 1600 Bills Pass Out of Senate and House Committees in One Week

Very Few Are Game-Changers for Taxpayers and Businesses

This week was the final week for bills to move out both House and Senate committees. In a mad rush to get work done after a very light schedule in the previous weeks, the Democrats in charge of the committees pushed through 1,628 bills.  Of those bills, 914 were “Shell Bills.”  Shell bills are used to move legislation after the committee deadline by adding an amendment to a shell bill that already “passed.”  Leaders and members of both parties file hundreds of shell bills under certain topics in case a situation comes up where legislation needs to be immediately filed. It is archaic considering at any other time Democrats, and probably Republicans when they were in charge 25 years ago, have no problem completely gutting and replacing a bill that has already passed a chamber.

Friday Jan 20, 2023: The Illinois Freedom Caucus today is issuing the following statement on Fourth District Circuit Court Judge Joshua Morrison’s ruling approving a Temporary Restraining Order for the plaintiffs challenging Illinois new weapons ban and gun registry law.

“Today is a significant victory for the rights of free and honest citizens. There are numerous Constitutional issues with not only the law itself but also in the process involving how this legislation became law. The fact that a Temporary Restraining Order was granted to the plaintiffs in this case underscores the Constitutional issues with this new law.

“Inspired by the miracle of the New Year, we sense anew, as Thomas Jefferson put it, that 'Almighty God hath created the mind free,' that this freedom of the mind equips and therefore obliges us to seek the truth that we should be guided by~ that all nobility, all that is worthwhile in life, depends on finding this truth and living by it, and failing to seek it with all our heart, mind and soul is to let our lives slip through our fingers like water.”

~ An excerpt from Christopher Flannery’s article published in Hillsdale College’s ‘Imprimis’

We wish you all a blessed and peaceful Christmas.

Please make time to focus on the joy, hope and the gift of salvation which we celebrate. No matter the difficulties and disappointments that life brings us, remember that God is with us – Emmanuel!

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6

Your Second Amendment Rights are Under Attack

A sweeping new gun control effort by Democrats has been introduced in the Illinois General Assembly and may be voted on in a Lame Duck Session in early January.

Second Amendment Rights of legal gun owners would be severely limited under HB 5855. Within the bill, Democrats have created a new definition of “assault weapon” to include almost every kind of semi-automatic weapon currently available to law-abiding citizens. This legislation represents a direct attack on the Constitutional rights afforded to citizens of the United States to protect themselves, their families, and their property.

Sign the petition to oppose the passage of HB 5855 and the erosion of our Second Amendment Rights.

Illinois House Democrats have introduced a massive gun control bill that would outlaw the sale of assault weapons and prevent most residents under 21 from legally buying a gun.
