| Our Mission |
|
For The Good Of Illinois was founded to empower regular people with the means to change how politics is practiced in Illinois state government. We want to rekindle the spirit of public service among our elected officials.
Everyone has a role to play. Government will be accountable to citizens who demand transparency. This is why grassroots organizing is so important. We're working to return Illinois to its roots: the citizen.
We suggest fellow citizens adopt the philosophy of, "Not On My Watch!" and do something now to move Illinois in a different direction. ForTheGoodOfIllinois.org provides a simple road map to do this.
With all of our time and talent, we want to make Illinois right again - for regular people.
FAVORITE QUOTATION
"The highest office that any of us can aspire to - is to the office of citizen!"
A historic philosophy shared by the Founders, Lincoln and written about by English author G.K. Chesterton on a visit to America.
