Amendment 1 has two objectives: To give massive new powers to government unions and to stop Illinois’ private sector from going Right to Work – Wirepoints joins Awake Illinois on Facebook Live

Ted Dabrowski joined Shannon Adcock of Awake Illinois to discuss the details of Amendment 1 and its potential impact on Illinoisans. If you care about property taxes, parents’ rights or union powers – and the future of Illinois – you should care about Amendment 1. It’s the most important vote Illinoisans will take this election, and perhaps the most important in decades.

Majority of people I have talked to have never heard off Amendment 1.

I bet the majority of voters do not even know it is on the ballot at this point.

Objective #3: Confuse voters

It doesn’t matter if Wirepoints is successful in stopping Amendment 1. Too much damage has already been done by the liberals/socialists. Just let the state implode and get it over with.

You’re not looking ahead to end game: those responsible for causing the bankruptcy are the only ones allowed in the closed room disposition of State fire-sale assets…and they are able to access tremendously leveraged OPM in order to pick up title to these bargains.

The “end game” is going to be a legal nightmare.

The end game is central bank digital currency. A digital money controlled by the Fed. Right now bitcoin et al are decentralized. Look up executive order 14067. Imagine your next garage sale, you’ll have to have a chip reader and the bank will automatically add sales tax. You give your barber a $4 tip and since it’s electronic the IRS will immediately be notified. You want to buy a gun? That transaction will be refused since they won’t have access to the system. You want to buy pot? You’ll be buying it from the state dispensary since you won’t have… Read more »

Unfortunately you may be right. Bankruptcy might be the only way to get out from underneath the financial hole. Pensions are beginning to crowd out other spending. Look how they’ve emptied the jails, allowed the CPD to lose so many officers without replacing them. The money “saved” is used to paper over deficits

Illinois is similar to an elderly person with failing health. The final outcome is known. All that’s left to decide is whether it’s better to get to that point quickly or whether it’s better to slowly suffer.

The sooner we let the junkie hit rock bottom, the sooner we can install adults to run our state… The slow death spiral, which destroys even bedrock, is what kills you…

The junkie mostly overdoses and dies. Which is where Chicago is heading. There’s cities all over the world lost to the winds of time as people left due to failed leadership. Rome would have been that way too but for the Vatican. There’s hills in the middle east called Tells that are basically old cities taht have been covered in dirt and sand over thousands of years due to neglect as future generations find greener pastures elsewhere.

Illinois, please pass Amendment 1. I want to see Illinois destroy itself. I want to see the socialists suffer financial ruin.

Those of us who have moved out will also have a guilty pleasure in seeing IL and its voters self destruct.

I’m not proud of it, but I completely agree with you Wally. We made our choice to leave. Others made a choice to stay. Very few are truly “stuck”.

Most I know who left took their government pensions with them.

I don’t wish ill will on anyone. However, if it passes, it will be because too many uninformed voters unwittingly voted in favor, causing all Illinois citizens to suffer the consequences. I pray the Vote No campaign is widespread and the messaging is direct.

Whether it passes or not, it will make little difference in the end.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
