Restore Our Constitution is a group of citizens that love our country! Our focus is the study of the founding of our country, our founding fathers, the Declaration and the Constitution. 

From time to time we share current news, information on local, state and national issues. On occasion we have guest speakers that talk on a broad rage of subjects. 

Rep Allen Skillicorn's (R-66) speech at the IGOLD rally in Springfield. Skillicorn spoke about the importance of the Second Amendment, and protecting gun rights in Illinois. He blamed weak enforcement of current laws, specifically in Cook County, for much of the gun violence in Illinois.

"Some folks love us. Some hate us,” Allen said. “ he ones that hate us, we've usually uncovered something about them or their family." http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-downstate-watchdogs-met-20150301-story.html

Kirk Allen and John Kraft; vets

saving their county

Someone sent us a link on Facebook about two veterans, Kirk Allen and John Kraft, who got tired of the corruption in their county, Edgar County, IL and decided that they’d do something about the local government which overspent into $79 million of debt for their 18,000 constituents. Allen and Kraft founded the Edgar County Watchdogs;

Through a combination of public pressure, Freedom of Information filings, lawsuits, and media exposure, they have created a system that deeply threatens Illinois’ corrupt, entrenched political establishment. They operate a blog called Illinois Leaks that exposes corruption at the state and local levels. The blog is so popular that, it is trusted more than the local paper.

RUSH:  Okay.  Let me recast this, and you correct me if I get anything wrong.  She has four kids, among them some Millennials -- old enough to be Millennials -- and they have been questioning the value of Electoral College. Why doesn't the popular vote matter? It seems like that ought to be the way we elect the president, not state by state.  They came up with an idea that we would apportion states like we do in primaries. In the Republican primary, if Trump wins a state, he gets whatever percentage of the delegates in that state according to the vote he got and so forth and so on. Because that would make every state count, you say.
