I hope the politicians learned from last week's Tea Parties. We're not going to stand for the wasteful spending - from either party - anymore. It's time for the voters to hold the politicians accountable for how they spend our money.

Be more strict on deporting illegal aliens & get rid of the law that makes their babies automatic US citizens.

Politicians have been in Springfield for too long. Term limits will be a real reform for Illinois.

IF income tax is raised to 4.5%, then offset by cutting property taxes by 50%. This will entice people to purchase property, businesses to relocate to Illinois, and create economic growth as home ownership rises. Make sure to cap any tax rate increases and cap increases in "re assessments" by all taxing authorities.

Don't let Pat Quinn and other Democrats off the hook for staying silent in 2006 so we had to endure another two years of Rod Blagojevich

We don't need more, we just need to live, as a state and as individuals below our means. It's called a zero-based budget. Every dollar has a name and when we're out of money we stop spending. Quite simple, but dictates difficult choices.

We can't tax our way out of this economic mess. Cut our taxes to spur real economic growth and bring back the jobs to our state!

A breach of public trust for personal gain, financial or otherwise should be treated as harshly as our soldiers would be for a like crime under the UCMJ. It should be considered a treasonable offence and the same harsh penalties and sentences should apply.

Stop pushing so much State tax money into Chicago. They have made their own beds. It seems as the tax money collected from the residents in the Burbs and Downstate keeps getting funneled into the Chicago Public Schools and what not. Let the City deal with the mess they have created and stop bailing them out!

Expose, and publicize, over and over again, the corrupt connections between Obama, Blago, Rezco and so on. There must be volumes yet to be revealed to the public, plus court records from Obama buddies who have been jailed, BE CERTAIN TO CONNECT OUR NEW GOV TO THE process as he ran with Blago.

All bills should be placed on the Internet for all the state to see before anyone votes. All bills that pass should be available along with a list of those who voted for it. All checks issued should be listed with reference included. Only when the public's business is conducted in public can the voters be informed.

We have gotten away from what our founding fathers have made this country great upon which is God. When we put God first in our country we were being blessed. But, now we have gotten away from the one and only true God. God has given us the text book of life which is the Bible. We need to put God's principles first then only we will be blessed and given the wisdom and guidance we need when calling upon Him. May God bless you and America.

End sanctuary status, require voter ID, implement E Verify, delete ineligible voter from voter registration records

How is it that 1 does not have to have proof of citizenship to be eligible for programs like FamilyCare/KidCare/Moms&Babies/Healthy Women/Welfare/Etc? (Read the disclaimer on ALL of these applications.) In order to receive gov't benefits, one should be a citizen/paying taxes/etc.

He wants to "roll back the tax increase" he himself enacted (10.25-the HIGHEST in the nation!) because he is running for re-election. After he gets re-elected do you think he'll increase it even more??
