FROM ILLINOIS CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES

GOPUSA ILLLINOIS
— Ever-increasingly, voters in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct base their beliefs and opinions on what the Democrat-run mainstream news media tells them. Ever-increasingly, the following discourage me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and discourage everyone from reading them: past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization and b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I should write about the aforesaid. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How successful have hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters been in promoting more hatred against Trump and against his supporters in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your precinct? I should write about the success that they have had in DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, and my precinct.- Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— If you were me, how would you deal with the following who discourage me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and who discourage everyone from reading them: past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization and b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— What do you say to those who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who ever-increasingly hint/imply/argue/shout that for Republican candidates to win elections, they have to a) dump Trump and b) become Democrat Lite, that is, to stop promoting personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement immigration laws, discouragement of vices, Second Amendment rights, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving)? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Politics is nasty/vicious. Is your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain distributing candidate campaign literature for Republican candidates in your precinct? How much credibility does your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain have with the registered Republican voters in your precinct? I am in the process of hand-delivering campaign literature from the eight Republican candidates on the ballot in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton that the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) has provided me with literature so far and a copy of the sample ballot to the about 400 residences in my precinct that have at least one registered Republican or Independent voter. What discourages Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains from doing the aforesaid? For me, it is increasingly encountering registered Republican votes who are filled with hatred against conservatives and especially against Trump. They tell me that they are not only not going to vote for Trump, but that they are going to vote for Harris and for the rest of the Democrat candidates on the ballot to punish conservatives and Trump. Ever since I became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999, certain hate-filled conservative-hating MTRO leaders have done everything that they could to discredit me with the voters in my precinct. The demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being far too conservative. They blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. They have taken many/big adverse actions against me. I should write about them . – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Sadly, tragically, voters hint/imply/argue/shout a) that they are not going to vote for Trump/Vance, b) that they are going to vote for Harris/Walz, and/or c) that they are going to vote for all the Democrat down ballot candidates to punish those who do not share their hatred against Trump/Vance. For me, the aforesaid disappoints me the most when those voters claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican and they are White, male, older, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, have ancestors who have been in America a long time, a registered Republican voter in my precinct, a past or present Republican candidate on a ballot in my precinct, a past or present leader of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and/or Illinois Republican Party, etc. – Dave Diersen
