I accept the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, to represent the State of Illinois.
Alan Keyes

I read American sagas (of the west) and I do not see people who went in search of material things. I see people who wrote down that what they sought was an escape from an old world which dictated their conscience and established their merit based on who their parents.

The money we spend on education should follow the choice of the parents, not the choice of educrats, bureaucrats, politicians, who, unfortunately, have been manipulating this process in their own career interests, not in the interests of our young people.
Alan Keyes
Image
Every leader, and every regime, and every movement, and every organization that steps across the line to terrorism must be banished from the discourse of civilized human life.
Alan Keyes
Image
At the root of the assault on our liberties is, in fact, an assault on our character--an assault that assumes that we are not good enough to be free, and that aims to make sure that we are no longer strong enough, courageous enough, disciplined enough to be a free people.

How does it secure the blessings of liberty to our posterity, to those generations yet unborn, to kill them, aborting them in the womb?
Alan Keyes
Image
It's about time we all faced up to the truth. If we accept the radical homosexual agenda, be it in the military or in marriage or in other areas of our lives, we are utterly destroying the concept of family.
Alan Keyes

Where do find the most persecuted Christians in the world?... in the classrooms of our government schools, where the assault is not upon the body, but the soul.
Alan Keyes

Freedom does not mean doing what you can get away with, doing what you please. It means, instead, having the opportunity to do what you ought to do--for family, and for community, and for humanity as a whole.
Alan Keyes
Image
Do we really think that a government-dominated education is going to produce citizens capable of dominating their government, as the education of a truly vigilant self-governing people requires?
Alan Keyes
Image
Politics must be founded on the solid faith of God almighty
Alan Keyes
Image
When we surrender moral government to the courts, we have surrendered the very essence of freedom we have surrendered its only real meaning, and we will not be free again until we get it back.
Alan Keyes
Image
Anything the government gives you is just another link in the chains that destroy your liberty.
Alan Keyes
Image
Freedom is first of all a responsibility before the God from whom we come.
Alan Keyes
Image
There was a time when most Americans held to the notion that the only sure and secure foundation for freedom was God - the Source of unalienable rights and the Policeman stationed in every human heart... But apparently, we don't believe in that sort of thing anymore.
Alan Keyes
Image
I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God.
Alan Keyes
Image
We have created an educational system, funded throughout the country by taxpayer dollars, that systematically turns our children away from the truth that makes them free.
Alan Keyes
Image
Our leaders will serve the common good with better laws and better actions only when we serve it first, by casting better votes.
Alan Keyes
Image
Rights don't come from human documents. The very idea is only worthy of contempt. Human documents are nothing but pieces of paper, they are nothing but words--until by will, and conscience, and courage, and commitment, human beings turn them into reality.
Alan Keyes

Either you can subscribe to the American creed which says that God endowed us with our rights, or you can subscribe to the abortion creed which says that those rights are the consequences of our mother's will.
