The ERA passed out of the Illinois House Human Services committee yesterday by a committee vote of 7-5 along party lines and is now available for a vote by the Illinois House. The good news is that the sponsor did not have the votes yesterday to bring it up for a vote in the House.

Res. 774) to force several votes on immigration-related bills that take a 218 vote threshold to pass. Rep. Denham already has the full support of all Democrats in the House. If he were to gain the support of 41 Republicans, the vote to proceed to the resolution will not need a committee vote or approval from Leadership.

A huge setback for women’s rights happened today when the Illinois State Senate voted to approve the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Under its “strict scrutiny standard,” ERA would harm women in multiple ways:

Congress just passed the terrible $1.3 trillion Omnibus and did not give you a chance to read it before it went to a vote. Now that we know what was in the over 2,200-page document, we have found a litany of bad provisions. This bill not only wastes our hard-earned money, but it undermines family privacy, autonomy, and safety.
Continue reading →On March 22 Congress voted to pass an Omnibus spending package that was anything but Conservative. The over 2,200-page document was released 36 hours before it was taken to a vote. No one, including your Congressmen and Senators, had time to read the entire bill. The House voted in favor 256-167 and the Senate voted in favor 65-32. Because of the rushed job, Congress continued to fund the leftist agenda by giving money to programs like Planned Parenthood, Head Start, and the National Endowment for the Arts. They stripped most of the funding for a border wall leaving a measly $1.6 billion and increased the amount of low-skilled immigrant workers to enter our borders. This greatly increases the change of visa overstays.

As many parents and students know, a National School Walk Out is being promoted for March 14 by liberal organizations throughout the nation. This walkout is about passing more gun control measures; but sadly organizers are trying to mislead students and families to think that this event is simply a time to honor victims.

Congress is moving on the newest budget bill to avoid a government shutdown by March 23. Even with a Republican majority in both the House and Senate, we may not see a Conservative budget. One of those reasons is that Leadership is considering a bailout of Obamacare. Remind Congress that we elected them to end Obamacare, NOT bailout Obamacare.

His statement undermines the President’s announcement from August prohibiting the military from allowing transgender people to serve. Not only does this pose a burden on taxpayers and is an assault on the privacy of individuals, but it also weakens America’s defenses.

Eagle Forum has sent out multiple emails in support of Rep. Bob Goodlatte’s (R-VA) Securing America’s Future Act (H.R. 4760). Recently, there has been quite a bit of misinformation spreading about the bill, specifically on E-Verify. Some news outlets have reported that it will create a national identification card with biometrics. That is simply not true.

On Monday, the White House will release the President’s new proposal on immigration reform that he is sure will win over both parties. He has guaranteed a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) fix as well as border security measures. However, he will allow younger immigrants to “morph into” citizenship in 10-12 years. This overreaching amnesty is what he condemned in the “Gang of Eight” amnesty proposal.
