The Illinois Republican Party is down, but a long way from being out. As our party rebuilds from the ground up, after a string of disappointing election days, now is the time for bloggers and other interested individuals to take part in the growth process. Illinois is the home state of Abraham Lincoln, and the birthplace of Ronald Reagan, two great Republican presidents. And remember, it wasn't so long ago, 1995 to be exact, when the Illinois GOP controlled each statewide office, both chambers of the General Assembly, and the Governor's Mansion.
And the governor at the time, Jim Edgar, actually lived in the mansion.
As James Thurber once wrote, "You could look it up!"
The good old days were not that long ago, and they could be back sooner than you think.
Where do we start? By networking and building, and the place to do it is at the new Illinois GOP Network Forum.
