SUMMARY:Leave Illinois Without Moving!
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the movement for the constitutional formation of a new state separate from Old Illinois\, Chicago\, and Urban Cook County. Presentations by leaders of New Illinois. \nThe United States Constitution gives us the RIGHT to a republican form of government. That means government of the people\, by the people\, and for the people. It means meaningful representative government. But in Illinois\, state government is dominated by one County – Cook\, with 40% of the population. The other 60% of us lack a meaningful voice. \nIllinois is a corrupt\, failed state. And now this corruption has created a financial disaster. \nThe U.S. Constitution also gives us the RIGHT to pursue the formation of a new state. Come and hear about how this process works. \nNew Illinois is a nonpartisan organization and does not endorse any political party. For more information\, please email info@NewIllinoisState.org.

SUMMARY:Leave Illinois Without Moving - Demand a New State!
DESCRIPTION:New Illinois is a nonpartisan\, nonprofit organization with the mission of educating Illinoisans about their RIGHT\, under Article IV\, Sec 3 of the U.S. Constitution\, to pursue the formation of a new state separate from the State of Illinois. New Illinois is not addressing a political divide; rather it is addressing an urban vs. rural\, small town\, and suburban divide. New Illinois is made up of people who love our state\, have roots and relationships here\, and don’t want to move away. It’s not the place we want to leave – it’s the corrupt government. And unlike other government reform groups\, we believe the government of Illinois is beyond reformation. \nSpeakers will include: \n\nG.H. Merritt\, Chairman\, New Illinois – What is New Illinois?\nTom Kozik\, Board Member\, New Illinois – Natural Rights\, Consent of the Governed\, Republican Form of Government\, 9th & 10th Amendments\nBill Bergman\, Finance Instructor\, Loyola University – Is a New Illinois Financially Feasible?\n\nOur vision is of a State where residents will be able to enjoy truly representative government – a republican form of government – as guaranteed in Article IV\, Sec 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

SUMMARY:New Illinois: Creating a New State - 4th Constitutional Convention
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the fourth session of a Constitutional Convention for a New State. New Illinois’ Convention will be held at the Chateau Hotel & Conference Center in Bloomington\, Illinois on Friday evening\, October 27\, 2023 and all day Saturday\, October 28\, 2023. The Friday evening and Saturday presentations will be open to the public. \nRegistration will be from 3:00 – 4:15 PM and again at 5:00 – 5:45 PM on Friday. Social hour will be from 5:45 – 6:30; VIP reception will also be from 5:45 – 6:30. \nFriday evening dinner will be followed by a keynote address by Paul Preston\, President of New California. When New Illinois started in June\, 2018\, we had no idea how to go about pursuing a new state. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel\, we decided to contact people from other states who had already been down this path. We were fortunate to have connected with Paul and New California. They knew the constitutional process and provided mentorship for us. \nSaturday will once again feature Paul Preston\, along with an information session led by New Illinois Vice Chairman and Hancock County Chairman Larry Mulch. There will be an opportunity for questions and answers. Saturday will also include a presentation on the financial considerations for a new state and the progress on the New Illinois Constitution. \nTickets including meals must be purchased in advance. The deadline is Monday\, October 23. Purchased at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/newillinois/1031786 . Tickets without meals may be purchased online up until October 26.

SUMMARY:The Movement for a New State: Can it Work?
DESCRIPTION:We are very excited about this event! \nRep. LaShawn Ford of Chicago is the ONLY Democrat in the Illinois State legislature who has said he is willing to have the conversation about splitting the State of Illinois. His chief concern is that New Illinois would go broke without the revenue from the City of Chicago. This is a concern that many people have voiced when they first hear about the movement for the 51st State. \nAlso addressing that issue will be Bill Bergman\, Finance professor from Loyola University. Our third panelist will be constitutional lawyer David Shestokas who will discuss the possibility of a new state from a legal standpoint. \nWe are looking forward to learning A LOT from this forum. If you live within a reasonable driving distance from Westchester\, please plan to be there!

SUMMARY:New Illinois: Creating a New State - 3rd Constitutional Convention
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the third session of a constitutional convention for a new state. New Illinois’ Convention will be held in Quincy\, Illinois on Friday evening\, May 5\, 2023 and all day Saturday\, May 6\, 2023. \n\n  \nTickets including meals must be purchased in advance. The deadline is Monday\, May 1. Purchase at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/newillinois/900337 . Tickets without meals may be purchased online with a deadline of May 4. Tickets without meals may be purchased at the door but will include a surcharge. Information on group hotel rates is also available at this link. \n\n  \nRegistration will be from 3:00 – 4:15 and again at 5:00 – 5:45 PM on Friday. Social hour will be from 5:45 – 6:30; VIP reception will also be from 5:45 – 6:30. Friday evening dinner will be followed by speakers: David Shestokas\, former Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney and Author of Creating the Declaration of Independence and Constitutional Sound Bites\, and Diane Benjamin\, government watchdog and publisher of BLN News. \n\n  \nNew Illinois is an organization pursuing the formation of a new state. Under that umbrella\, our areas of focus are representative government\, government corruption\, and our state’s fiscal catastrophe. For years\, Illinois has been ranked as one of the top states for corruption\, and Chicago has been ranked as the most corrupt city. And though the U.S. Constitution guarantees representative government in the states\, in Illinois we don’t really have representative government outside of Chicago. We’re looking forward to the relevant information our speakers will be bringing to us. \n\n  \nSaturday will once again feature our speakers\, along with an information session led by New Illinois Vice Chairman and Hancock County Chairman Larry Mulch. There will be an opportunity for questions and answers. Lunch will be available. Saturday will also include a presentation on the financial considerations for a new state and the progress on the New Illinois Constitution.
