Reclaim Illinois, Let's return Honor, Integrity and Respect to Illinois Government



Candidate Rap Sheets Update 7/26/2010


Neither faith, party nor race should differ when it comes to critical traits such as Honor, Integrity, Honesty and Justice.
We believe that informed citizens can unite around these traits for the removal of state government corruption and inept leadership.

The strategy Reclaim Illinois is seeking to deploy to meet our goals is to engage and challenge citizens and businesses around Illinois to participate in the democratic process. At the same time, we seek to provide them with easy access to the vital knowledge required to act with wisdom.

If you believe as we do and share our goals for a better future please donate, volunteer and support our efforts. It takes a great deal of money and people to communicate across the 57,918 square miles of Illinois.

Is Illinois the New California?

"
Illinois has overtaken California as the worst credit risk among American states...
Unlike California, Illinois cannot blame its budget woes on a particularly volatile revenue system or on outsize exposure to the housing bubble.
Illinois's crisis is unique in that it is purely a creature of mismanagement by elected officials."

"If Illinois isn't the most corrupt state in the United States, it's one hell of a competitor." (Robert Grant, FBI Special Agent 12/9/08)
We can do better than giving our children a legacy of corruption and debt in Illinois!

Civic Federation backs income-tax hike (2/22/2010)
"Illinois' fiscal crisis has been many years in the making," Msall said. "It was caused by more than 30 years of pension underfunding and many years of spending unfettered by the state's shrinking revenue sources."
(Reclaim Illinois Comment - Why give a tainted legislature more tax money to waste!! A wiser and more frugal solution along with the removal of tainted officials must be pursued.)

How reform failed in Illinois
Quinn, legislative leaders and activists all played role in passing weak campaign finance bill

If we don't fight NOW for honorable leaders, true public servants who seek justice and care about the people they represent the things we often take for granted will be gone.


Words to Live By
Reclaim
-make useful again
-bring, lead or force to abandon a wrong or evil course of life, conduct, and adopt a right one.

In contrast to the words that come to mind currently when thinking of Illinois government, I've compiled a listing of words with definitions that we should easily be able to associate with our public servants be they pastors, police or politicians. Words that suggest that we can trust and have comfort, words worth fighting for!
