Illinois GOP to Change How Presidential Candidate Delegates Chosen

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a follow up to my post last week on the proposed changes on how Illinois selects the delegates for GOP presidential candidates, more needs to be said about this as on the evening of Tuesday, September 6, the Illinois GOP State Central Committee will meet to discuss whether or not the changes will be accepted.

My points made last week about the State Central Committee endeavoring to take away even more ability of Illinois GOP voters to influence the milieu of Republican politics in Illinois was written before I had seen the final wording of the resolution in question.

However, I have now seen what is up to now the full proposal, the one that will be discussed at the Tuesday SCC meeting. The most recent proposal mitigates my fears somewhat… but not entirely.

Illini Alliance Website: The Place to Stay Connected

-By Warner Todd Huston

There is a good resource for Illinois center right, conservative/libertarian perspective on the web, it’s the Illini Alliance website.

There you’ll find all the Illinois conservative websites and blogs you’d ever want as well as links to the various conservative minded political parties such as the Illinois Republican Party, the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party.

You’ll also finds links to the various state policy groups interested in furthering the conservative, free-market message in the Land of Lincoln.

If you know of a good conservative website that isn’t on the list or you have your own Illinois centric blog that flogs the conservative message, be sure and contact the Illini Alliance to get included on the blog roll.


Illini Alliance: The Place for All Illinois Center Right Websites

A few years ago I built a webpage that was meant as the single site where Republicans, conservatives and libertarians in Illinois could go to find links to all the center right Illinois websites out there. I called it the Illini Alliance.

I built it and then let it sit unused for several years but recently I’ve taken a lot of pains to update it to properly reflect the state of Illinois center right blogs, policy organizations and state party websites.

The main purpose for the site is to keep conservative Illinois bloggers better connected to each other and to serve as a resource of information for center right bloggers to use in their efforts to further their center right message. With this page, we hope to list every center right, conservative, Republican and libertarian website in the state of Illinois to better serve the conservative political blogging community.

So, if you want to know of all the center right blogs and websites in the state, the Illini Alliance is the place to go.

If you know of a center right blog or website that is missing from the blogroll, please inform us so we can update the list.

If you’d like to add the Illini Alliance blogroll to your website, there are instructions on the site to help you do that.
