Review

"The authors make the case that there is no "intellectually sound" reason to vote against a constitutional convention with enough force to convince this skeptic." -- Ralf Seiffe - Political Analyst, Illinois Review, May 31, 2008

Product Description

Is the case for an Illinois Constitutional Convention really IRONCLAD?


On November 4th, 2008, Illinois citizens will have a once in a generation opportunity to call a Constitutional Convention. If you stop reading this book after this paragraph, please take away this singularly important message. *If a better Illinois and a more honest government is your goal, then there is no intellectually sound reason to vote "No" on this ballot question. *This book will prove that proposition.


The authors will take you through the trials and tribulations confronting Illinois, while showing that our sad state of affairs is a direct result of the perhaps well-intentioned, but poorly written and conceived Constitution of 1970.


Unlike many who simply "curse the darkness" of Illinois politics, this book shines the light of reason of how we got here and how to find our way back. The authors lay out a clear case that the problem with the Illinois Constitution is directly related to its massive transfer of power *from* the citizens *to* the Government.


The book continues with numerous proposals that make for an elegant and concise set of solutions to the problems that plague Illinois (complete with model language). The book has the audacity to propose that we return power to the citizens of Illinois.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read if you live in Illinois, September 22, 2008
A must read for every citizen of Illinois. Easy to read to get an understanding of what is happening to the state of Illinois. The book outlines the reason for the convention, a rebuttal to each negative reason for not having the convention and a recomendation for what should be included in an a new state constitution, if the vote for the convention wins.
