Welcome to ILLINOISCONSTITUTION.ORG What to expect: Illinois is ready for a new constitution. The time is right for a constitutional convention. Our present constitution has failed us miserably, and has allowed government to creep into almost every aspect of our lives. Through this website I hope to garner enough interest in having the people call for a constitutional convention, and also to point out the inherent weaknesses in our present document. We need a total re-write of our constitution. Our republic has been slowly eroding away, thanks to our so-called leaders, lawyers, judges and ignorance. I hope to stop that erosion. This site will be in development constantly, so visit often to keep apprised of updates and events
I will be seeking the People's vote in becoming a delegate to the constitutional convention. I believe that my knowledge and understanding of our constitution, as well as the shortcomings and failings of the present one, will afford me the opportunity to serve in forming a new constitution that will have the necessary wording to avoid any ambiguity in drawing well-defined limits for government, while leaving everything not defined to the People.
First, I will go through the text of the previous constitutions of Illinois and explain how they reflect the People's intent to form a limited government. I will also identify significant political milestones that would later be reflected in Illinois changing constitution; milestones that were not necessarily in maintaining state sovereignty and autonomy.
Second, I will breakdown our present constitution with a comparative analysis between it and the original, along with annotations and case law.
Third, I will provide wording for a new constitution along with annotations for why I chose such wording.
After all is said and done, I hope to convince the People that they should demand a constitutional convention; elect me as a delegate; and demand the wording I offer for the new Illinois Constitution. This is a fairly daunting and exhaustive task for one man. I will be updating this site as I progress, so please make it a point to visit often. I will also be asking for the People's input and comments to my efforts. This Constitution belongs to the People. I welcome any input you may hope to offer.
In the mean-time, I will be working on more activist approaches to bringing the unresponsive, abusive actions of our so-called elected officials to a halt. One place for updates on abusive government can be found at my other site, Municipal Tyranny.
I will be working on educational materials, videos and possibly a newspaper or magazine. I'm interested in hearing from people who have skills, connections, knowledge, or interests in assisting with this collaborative effort. Contact me here. Where to Start: (Learn more....)
