Constitutional Militia	Illinois Sons of Liberty is Illinois first state militia since 1992. Founded in 2006 we are active in all counties offering help with disaster relief, community training and a wide variety of community oriented projects. The Illinois Sons of Liberty (ILSL) is an unorganized militia. Clearly stated by our founding fathers "*The militia is the whole people*". The militia consists of every law abiding, able-bodied citizen in the United States of America except those who hold public office. The Illinois Sons of Liberty is a citizen based militia that functions solely within the legal framework of a state militia. We stand with law enforcement and our local governments. We offer an open door policy for any law enforcement agency to attend our meetings and or events. We will partner with law enforcement and other community organizations to help the general population in the event of a disaster.
Who We Are	Our motto is "Friends, Family and Community" and we mean it! Everything we do is intended to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment. Freedom loving patriotic Americans make up the foundation and structure of the ILSL membership. If you are an American and you believe and support the Constitution of the United States of America as well as the Illinois State Constitution then we invite you to join the Illinois Sons of Liberty. ILSL members are regular people from all walks of life who are concerned about the current state of affairs within our Government, their total disregard to their oath of office and the sovereignty of the United States of America. ILSL stands for the following: • We support the 5 branches of the U.S. Armed Forces • We are a deterrent and defensive force for Illinois state • We are a first response mechanism for disasters weather natural or man-made • We are a legacy passed from our forefathers to us and from us to our posterity • We are an organization of by and for Illinois, the United States of America and the people whom they serveunder their respective constitutions. If you're concerned about the safety, security or future of the USA or the state of Illinois, if you believe there are serious threats to the American way of life, our freedoms and the US Constitution. In the event of martial law, civil unrest or many other declared emergencies whether manufactured or organic, the militia is the response to secure the safety and prosperity of the people because we are the people. In the event of a threat to America or our state, the Illinois Sons of Liberty will stand to protect our own communities from harm whether that threat is foreign or domestic. This would require the immediate attention of the People and the militia is that solution.
