I would not have become a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999. I would not have become the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster in 2000. I would not have become the GOPUSA ILLINOIS Editor in 2000. I would not have become an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member in 2001. I would not have become an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member in 2003. My Civil Service Retirement System pension and retirement savings would much greater. The aforesaid continues to have a tremendous impact on me.
