Restore Our Constitution 

Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner is publicly preaching party unity on the campaign trail.

But behind the scenes, Rauner is quietly leading an effort to purge conservatives from the Illinois Republican State Central Committee, which governs the party.

At issue: the re-election of current Illinois GOP Chairman Timothy O. Schneider of Bartlett, a close ally of Rauner and a sharp critic of State Rep. Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton) in the recent gubernatorial primary.

From the Booklet:

Chapter 5: Sanctuary State and

Your New Neighbors

Nothing can be more ironic than the name of the law

making Illinois a sanctuary state that Rauner signed:

the Trust Act.

With it, Rauner’s trust quotient with real Republicans

plummeted. With it, Rauner made Illinois as lawless

and dangerous as the city of San Francisco, the state of

California and other Democratic strongholds passing

such a law.

Rauner had once promised to veto such legisla-

tion if it came to his desk. But continuing his shift

to accommodate the Democratic agenda, he didn’t.

With Rauner’s signature, Illinois now cannot arrest

or detain illegal aliens solely based on their immigra-

tion status. Local law enforcement cannot make an

arrest even if the suspect is on the Immigration and

Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency’s wanted list. Nor

can Illinois police notify ICE when they have a suspect-

ed criminal illegal alien detained.

Rauner Lie #1: “Jeanne Ives is Mike Madigan’s Favorite Republican.”

Fact: The lie is based on an extremely out-of-context statement Ives made in response to Rauner’s bungling explanation of his own relationship with the Speaker during their Chicago Tribune editorial board interview.

When Governor Bruce Rauner of Illinois announced in October that he would seek reelection in 2018, he released a two-minute campaign video. It shows the Republican wearing blue jeans and a black leather vest as he rides his Harley-Davidson motorcycle from Chicago to Springfield, the state capital. “Four years ago,” he says in a voiceover, “I crisscrossed our state, looked people in the eye, and promised to fight business as usual.” read more: https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2017/12/18/bruce-rauner-illinois-worst-republican-governor-america/

In a previous article, we covered the crowded Democratic Party primary for Illinois Attorney General, so now we turn to the two-way race for Republicans.

As with the Democrats, the Republicans are talking a lot about using the office to combat corruption — something the 4-term incumbent Lisa Madigan has been roundly criticized for failing to do. As noted previously, the fact that her father is Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan is often seen as the reason for that seeming lack of effort.

Here are the brief bios of the two Republican Party candidates for Illinois Attorney General:

David Barton touched on a number of topics in his presentation, including the Left’s efforts to abolish the Electoral College and elect a president by a national popular vote. Barton stressed the need to understand the intention of the Founding Fathers when they created the Electoral College. LISTEN TO AUDIO AND READ MORE

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.
