The Illinois Conservative Action Network (ICAN) is dedicated to returning our
government to the constitutional republic it was intended to be by our founding fathers.
Our immediate objective is to build a network of citizens, groups, organizations and
politicians working together to peacefully pressure our elected officials to honor their oath
of office to “support and defend” the Constitution. We can’t do it without you. The list
below is just some of the things you can do to help. It is by no means a complete list and
we invite our members to submit their own suggestions for additional activities.
Blogging
Illinois Conservative Action Network offers our members an opportunity to express their
Opinions on our blog, The Illinois Conservative Beacon. We only ask that you conform to
the rules of civil discourse. If you would like to become a contributing author click HERE.
Recruiting
There is strength in numbers. E-mail, phone or talk to your friends and neighbors
encouraging them to join us in our efforts. When individuals join with others in a shared
objective the effectiveness of all are multiplied exponentially. Not a member? Please
consider joining us today.
Organizing
Join or start a conservative action group in your own community. Take part in patriot
rallies (tea parties and town hall meetings) at every opportunity and encourage others to
do the same. Organize and participate in demonstrations against your elected
representatives when they forget their oath of office and support unconstitutional
legislation.
Reporting
One of our objectives is to provide information and encouragement to members of the
network. You can help by informing us of events and happenings in your community so
that we can inform others. Send us e-mails about political events, tea parties, rallies, e-
mail campaigns, etc., or anything you think would be of interest to our readers and we will
post it on our website or blog. Use the "feedback form" in the column to the left.
Networking
Start your own personal network among friends and neighbors for exchanging ideas, news
and information and providing mutual encouragement to one another, using e-mail,
telephone, personal contact, Internet bookmarking services, social networking sites and
Internet forums.
Volunteering
Identify conservative candidates running for office in your district or state and offer to
volunteer your services in making phone calls, sending e-mails, distributing signs and
literature, poll watching, getting out the vote efforts, etc. These things are especially
important during the thirty days preceding primary and national elections.
Donating
Financing is critical to election campaigns. This is particularly true with conservative
candidates who are new to politics and often are not adequately supported by the Party
establishment. Even small donations are extremely helpful. Send your donations directly
to the candidate’s campaign, not to the political party. In most cases, you can make your
donations through their website.
Vote
Your vote is just as important in primary elections as in general elections. In fact, it is often
more important. Conservatives must prevail in the primaries if we are to have any chance
of stopping our headlong rush into socialism and taking back the Republican Party. In
primaries, establishment candidates and incumbents always have the advantage. Usually
they are not the best candidates in terms of what is best for the welfare of the country.
That is going to be especially true in the next election. That is why each vote is critical,
and don’t just vote yourself, but encourage others to do the same.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution
of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear
true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without
any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully
discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me
God.”
