From the Illinois Code:

[...]

A political party, which at the municipal election in any other municipality or political subdivision, (except townships and school districts), for municipal or other officers therein then next preceding a primary, cast more than 5 per cent of the entire vote cast in such municipality or political subdivision, is hereby declared to be a political party within the meaning of this Article, within said municipality or political subdivision, and shall nominate all municipal or other officers therein under the provisions hereof to the extent and in the cases provided in section 7--1.

Provided, that no political organization or group shall be qualified as a political party hereunder, or given a place on a ballot, which organization or group is associated, directly or indirectly, with Communist, Fascist, Nazi or other un-American principles and engages in activities or propaganda designed to teach subservience to the political principles and ideals of foreign nations or the overthrow by violence of the established constitutional form of government of the United States and the State of Illinois.

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org):

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Wake up America!!!

Wake up America!!!

You know you're only about the second or third person to have responded to that in the 3 or 4 years I've been posting it. Now if someone would just notice and react to the bit about House Judiciary Committee chairman, John Conyers, giving speeches and endorsements to the 'World Can't Wait' organization, a known front group of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Conyers needs to be the one being investigated, NOT the one doing the investigating! Crazy stuff. We have too many damn wimps on our side to deal with these b*st*rds like they need to be dealt with.

Condor51: Eternal Vigilance has recently post these statutes on the thread below. This is the first I have heard about them. Since your posts here on this thread, have you come across any additional information on the subject?

I am just stunned by their existence on the books in the capital of American Communism.

Do you know if it has ever been successfully prosecuted?
