Illinois Republican Assembly Endorses Peter Breen for Illinois House
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Republican Assembly has endorsed Peter Breen, a conservative, pro-life activist and attorney, in the race for the Illinois House of Representatives District 41. The district spans Eastern DuPage County and Western Cook County, Illinois.
Breen has been involved in pro-life issues to enforce the Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995, which has been the subject of litigation for years, and is now eying a proposed ordinance in Chicago which would create an eight-foot “bubble zone” within 50 feet of abortion clinics in the city. The ordinance was drafted by the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and Family Planning Associates, and presented by Alderman Vi Daley, without proper notice to the public.
Learning of the hearing last month at the last minute, Breen, who is executive director of the Thomas More Law Society, attended and testified, providing a much-needed first amendment and free speech perspective for the statists at the Chicago City Council.
“Breen is a hero of the conservative movement in Illinois and he will be a fantastic member of the Illinois House of Representatives,” says Nancy Bruening, vice president for public affairs of the Illinois Republican Assembly, an affiliate of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA). “He’s also been active in combating ‘red light cameras’ which issue tickets automatically in the suburbs of Chicago without due process of law.”
The future of the Republican Party is with conservatives, not moderates, says Bruening. Conservatives continue to outnumber moderates and liberals in the American populace in 2009, confirming a finding that Gallup first noted in June. “Forty percent of Americans describe their political views as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 20% as liberal. This marks a shift from 2005 through 2008, when moderates were tied with conservatives as the most prevalent group,” says Bruening. “Breen, like conservative Doug Hoffman in upstate New York, is one of those candidates who can help grow those numbers and communicate the message that resonates with the center-right that is the true majority of this country.”
