Former IL Republican Party Chair Says Trump Can't Win, Hillary Better Alternative (Barf)

Dear Illinois Freepers,
I am using this thread to bring a bit of news of today to you from a Freeper friend in Illinois. It is concerning an Illinois state Legislation now at rest on your Governor's desk. But you need to be award of it in case it comes to life again in the near future. Please spread to your lists.

From Beverly Perlson:

Folks, after several conversations with Governor Rauner’s office, I can report that the Muslim Advisory Council legislation (SB574) that was sitting on the governor’s desk, is dead for now.

What all Illinois voters should know is that this bill, SB574, passed the House and the Senate overwhelmingly, and it was Democrat Senator Terry Link who effectively killed the bill. In a conversation with a rep in Link’s office, he reported there were many technical problems with the bill, one of which was that it violated house rules!

I was told that if this bill does come up again, it would be in the spring. He advised that all who oppose this bill should contact their local reps and express their opposition.

Please call your reps and let them know you oppose the bill! My reasons for opposition to SB574 are twofold:

*Why should one group have preferential treatment and voice in Illinois governmental matters? If that is the case, legislators need to be put on notice that we as Catholics, Jews, Presbyterians, Irish, Polish, Italian, all groups, demand an Advisory Council;

*Imam Kareem Infra, who is associated with this bill, is a former Chairman of ISNA, which was named an unindicted co-conspirator back in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation (HLF) terrorist financing trial. In addition, a simple google search of this Imam’s writings should concern all legislators and any person involved in any way with the financing of terrorism certainly should not ever have any voice in governmental matters of any kind!

I’m frankly outraged that Infra continues to live here among us!

Below is the link to the bill and its history. Please note again, in the words of the rep in Senator Link’s office, the action taken by Senator Link on June 30th “killed the bill.” For now!

It is mind boggling that this bill passed both houses with overwhelming support, but then again, this is the current state of Illinois politics! Please contact your reps and use your strong voice to let them know you oppose this ridiculous and reckless legislation. Also, please pass this to your Illinois lists.

Thank You

Thanks for posting this. I also was shocked as to how many Republicans (aka Combine) voted for this. I felt is was unconstitutional but would Princess Lisa really go after it after Daddy passed it? Yeah right! I asked the Governor how many Shia, Sunni, and Wahhabi would be appointed. I asked that when a Catholic Commission was formed, could I be considered for appointment. I got the stock blah-blah form letter back. This state is screwed up, and Rauner is absolutely incompetent. We are SO screwed.

Hi Friend, Don't give up hope! Here in Florida, we lived through several DEM Governors, then a few wishey washy Republican Governors (like yours) but now have a winner!

It all starts at the community/state level. Hopefully things will clean up nation wide with President Trump! I hope to live long enough (I'm 75) to see the death of the DEM party and the complete booting out of every Republican who are DEMS in disguise!

Off topic, but I wanted to discuss with FReepers outside Illinois that Downers Grove city councilman David Olsen was selected to replace disgraced RINO traitor Ron Sandack in the Illinois legislature.

Infamously, Sandack "changed his mind" and voted for gay marriage, abolishing the death penalty, driver's licenses for illegals, in-state tuition for illegals, Madigan's budget deal, etc., etc., yet STILL claims to be a "conservative" who only disagree with the GOP base on "one issue"

I'm having a hard time finding reliable information about where Olsen is ideologically. It's a bit like when Kelly Ayotte was elected Senator from New Hampshire and she was called everything from a far-right Tea Party leader to a squishy RINO centrist.

Funny thing, Olsen LOOKS like a younger version of insane terrorist-sympathizer Paulbot Justin Amash. Hopefully he is nothing like him ideologically.

hard to figure out where these newcomers are often. sometimes takes a term or so.

see who endorses him in the fall

Eek!
