The Illinois chapter of the Stop the ACLU Coalition will be meeting this Saturday, February 25th in Lincoln from appr. 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM. We will have lunch, then discuss ACLU issues pertaining to both Illinois and our nation. We will also have testimonies of individuals who have had direct experiences with the ACLU. One of them is Melanie Mills Melanie Mills, assistant to the director of the Coalition. Melanie has provided expert testimony before the Illinois and Missouri legislatures on abortion, based on her experience with abortion and in opposition to the ACLU's pro-abortion position.

"The ACLU has for decades been a near unstoppable battering ram against traditional moral and family values", says Nedd Kareiva, founder and director of the Coalition. "Many fine public law firms like the Alliance Defense Fund and the American Center for Law & Justice have successfully thwarted the ACLU's agenda in our courts but the ACLU still continues to push its hard core left agenda of unrestricted abortion on demand, same sex marriage and adoption, homosexual indoctrination and condom based sex education in our public schools, unrestricted access to pornography and removing the 10 Commandments and all religious symbols from society."

"The public at large has viewed the ACLU as a civil rights organization without considering their many positions that are antithetical to the vast majority of Americans. In addition, others who are familiar with the ACLU's liberalism have not had a voice against them outside of financially supporting the legal groups tackling them in the courts and contacting Congress. The Coalition exists to provide that voice and enable Americans who are fed up with the ACLU to have a tangible role with the Coalition in confronting the ACLU."
