EDITORIAL: Government needs re-education on the freedom of the press

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- It seems everywhere I turn around, government as a whole have tried repeatedly to interfere and infringe on the Constitutional rights of a free press. Governments are not fulfilling FOIA requests. They are also withholding pertinent information from meetings, a clear sign of internal corruption and/or incompetent politicians. The press corps are the Fourth Estate, essentially the fourth branch of government. We are essentially the governmental watchdogs for the people, holding politicians accountable and governmental bodies accountable […]

COMMENTARY: Media coverage of alternative candidates shouldn’t include attacks

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- In an election cycle where Libertarian Party and Green Party candidates have received the most media coverage in years, there are still those in the mainstream media who want to drag candidates through the mud and attack their past. This has happened to several candidates over the past months and as of Friday, Ohio House candidate Kryssi Wichers became another target of the media. Spencer Remoquillo of the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette put out a hit piece on Wichers, who […]

COMMENTARY: Nexstar, let Mark Tippetts debate – no excuses

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Nearly a week ago, the national Libertarian Party issued a press release regarding Nexstar Media Group's exclusion of Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Mark Tippetts from the first gubernatorial debate slated for September 28 in Austin. As a part of the guidelines, debate inclusion requires being in the top three in polling. Tippetts met that mark in last month's poll conducted by the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune, meeting the requirement leaving 16 percent undecided. However, Nexstar-owned […]

COMMENTARY: Voter choice and candidate suppression needs to become a criminal offense

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois is unfortunately known for political corruption and the suppression of voter and candidate choice. It's been a common and deceptive practice that has been going on for decades. 2018, unfortunately, is no different. As of several hours ago, a warning was given by the Libertarian Party of Illinois that the Illinois Republican Party is up their usual tricks again trying to throw the party slate off the general election ticket. PUTTING THE WORD OUT: Republicans are […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: Illinois unfairly suppresses third-party candidates

The following was previously published yesterday by the Belleville News-Democrat editorial board. Maybe voter suppression isn't our problem. Maybe it's candidate suppression. Do you know who Sam McCann is? How about Grayson "Kash" Jackson? They are two choices for Illinois governor. That may confuse most folks because most folks think the two choices were made March 20. That was the Illinois primary, when billionaire J.B. Pritzker got 45 percent of the vote against five other Democrats and billionaire Bruce Rauner eked out a […]

GUEST EDITORIAL: More candidates + more choices = more voters

The following guest editorial was previously published yesterday by the Northwest Herald editorial board. Monday was a day of significance on the Illinois electoral calendar, but just how much significance remains to be seen. That day marked the deadline for independent and third-party candidates to file nomination petitions for the fall’s general election ballot. With respect to all candidates in every such race across the state, we turn to the top of the ticket, where Libertarian Kash Jackson filed his […]

COMMENTARY: Bank of Springfield Center and SMEAA — a massive drain on taxpayers

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- The Illinois Policy Institute published a story Tuesday regarding the Springfield Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority (SMEAA) and the damning debt that Springfield taxpayers are on the hook for against their own will. Please note that I may be linking to some of IPI's articles in this commentary. Springfield-area residents often see as many as ten different governmental taxing bodies on their property tax bills each year, most of which include SMEAA. While being furthest from being […]

Commentary: Supreme Court decision a slap to the face of small businesses

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- A U.S. Supreme Court decision made today marks yet another slap to the face of the free market and another example of the government intervening on behalf of Big Business. The recent decision now forces e-commerce retailers to pay (and essentially, charge) sales taxes, just like the ancient brick-and-mortar retailers do. Misinformed politicians like Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) claims this is a victory for downstate communities who have "claimed" economic decimation due to online shopping. It is […]
