Illinois Republican Party

Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy Facebook.com/ilgop/ @ILGOP www.ILGOP.org Who We Are: The Republican Party of Illinois is the party of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, with a proud tradition of support for freedom, opportunity, and integrity. By fighting to reform Illinois, we will regain the trust of the people of this state. We will return to our roots through dramatic reforms that can unleash the great potential of the individuals of this state – not the size and reach of government. What We Stand For: Public office as a public trust Less government intrusion in our lives Fiscal responsibility Freedom and opportunity No more "government as usual" Lower taxes Ending government waste Less litigation Personal responsibility Smaller government Strong national defense The Problem: The State of Illinois finds itself on the brink of financial collapse, and a troubling pattern of scandal and controversy has caused people to lose faith in their leaders. Irresponsible decisions by elected officials have mortgaged the future for Illinois children. Under the direction of one-party Democrat control over the last decade, state spending, taxes, and borrowing have skyrocketed. This crisis cannot be solved by placing greater burdens on consumers, employers, and employees. We need dramatic change. The people of Illinois need to change the way they govern themselves. We must restrict the bad tendencies of Illinois governing structure, and return more power back to voters who deserve greater control of their own destiny. People know how to build their future. In Illinois, they simply lack the ability to do so. What You Can Do: Connect with us on Facebook at Facebook.com/ilgop/, on Twitter @ILGOP, and at WeAreIllinois.org/Get-Involved/ to volunteer. Join us, and help make the change we need in Springfield and in Washington, D.C.!
