New Illinois: A Constitutional Alternative to Corrupt Old Illinois

On Friday & Saturday, April 4-5, New Illinois will hold its Seventh Constitutional Convention for the proposed new state. The event will be held at the Chateau Hotel & Conference Center, 1621 Jumer Drive in Bloomington and non-member attendees are welcome. Cost of attendance is $90 for members, $95 for non-members, purchased in advance. Cost includes Friday dinner and Saturday lunch. https://buytickets.at/newillinois/1622216 Tickets to hear speakers only on Friday at 7:45 will be available at the door with a surcharge.

The Friday dinner will be followed by keynote speaker Sheila Weinberg, CEO of Truth in Accounting. In its Financial State of the State for 2024, Truth in Accounting ranked Illinois as No. 48, as one of the “Bottom Five Sinkhole States.” Illinois was awarded a financial grade of “F.” We look forward to learning from Sheila about best practices and how New Illinois can avoid Illinois’ problems.

Saturday morning speaker is State Rep. Brad Halbrook, the chief sponsor of HJR0016, the resolution for a new state. Also presenting is Russ Clark, Treasurer Illinois Libertarian Party, speaking on ballot access in Illinois.

Tickets are available at https://buytickets.at/newillinois/1622216 Tickets including meals must be purchased by Sunday March 30.

Media nationally are taking note of a growing movement among discontented citizens to escape their tyrannical state governments. Unhappy East Oregonians wish to become West Idahoans. Californians have New California and 33 Illinois counties have passed nonbinding referenda since 2020 asking their county boards to investigate leaving Cook County! Between the referendum counties and New Illinois’ 43 counties, with little overlap, 68 counties are represented.

The United States Constitution gives us the RIGHT to representative state government. But Illinois gives power to favored people, groups, and municipalities—notably Chicago and Cook County—which means it’s not fulfilling its responsibilities to the rest of its citizens. State of Illinois has violated both the U.S. and the Illinois Constitutions, infringed on our rights, and deprived the People of representative government. LEAVE ILLINOIS WITHOUT MOVING!
