Why Are Democrats Afraid of Voter ID?
For generations, Americans have believed in a simple principle that our elections should be honest, secure, and decided by the citizens of this country.

If the Bears Get Relief, Illinois Families Should Too
Illinois families are already stretched thin by rising costs and sky-high property taxes. The last thing they need is to be asked to bankroll another insider deal while they struggle to make ends meet. From what I have seen so far, this process has not been transparent or fair.
