Hope more parents and taxpayers get on board. The more people, the more power. I am glad to see that they are also calling out the weak kneed Republicans that we have representing us (or not) in Illinois. They stood down and let Pritzker destroy businesses and the residents of this State. They went along with all of the tyranny. Disgraceful cowards.
