— Illinois, Chicago Follow National Trends as Democrats’ Vote Share Declines. Here’s How Each City Precinct Voted.  (COMMENT: How did your precinct vote? There are 1,073 registered voters in my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton. 890 (83%) voted. 373 voted for Trump and 477 voted for Harris. Between 661 and 425 voted for the other Republican candidates on the ballot. Republican candidates got more votes than the Democrat candidates did in all but 2 (president and one of the judicial races) of the 13 races. I hand-delivered a) a copy of the sample ballot and campaign literature to the 400 residences in my precinct that had at least one Republican or Independent registered voter and then b) a note from the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) to the 24 residences that had at least one registered Republican voter who had not yet returned their mail-in ballot. What information would you like to get from your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain? I will be hand-delivering to the “hard-Rs” in my precinct the aforesaid information plus information on the upcoming December 3 MTRO Caucus and the April 1 local election.)

WGN RADIO
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hates say that “Republicans don’t have a mandate.” Illinois RINO leaders reject not only Trump, they reject the Republican Party platform. Those RINOs stress that while Trump got 2.4 million votes in Illinois, Harris got 3 million. Those RINOs stress that while Trump got 191,000 votes in DuPage County, Harris got 251,000. Those RINOs want the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) to officially become the Illinois Democrat Lite Party.  Those RINOs want the IRP to officially dump conservatives, that is, to officially dump the base of the IRP. Anticipate/expect that those RINOs will ever-increasingly destroy those who support the Republican Party platform and destroy the IRP.

https://illinoisfamily.org/marriage/a-growing-concern-plummeting-birthrates/

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— If you were me, what would you do to encourage the following to read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, and Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders and activists, and e) religious leaders and activists? Since 2000, many of the aforesaid have taken many big adverse actions against me to stop me from sending out my newsletters and to stop everyone from reading them. They blame me and they blame my newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— All my employers were run by Democrats. QUESTION: Why did they gamble and lose that I would become a Democrat? ANSWER: Neither of my parents attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. My parents rejected leaving the Missouri Synod for the more conservative Wisconsin Synod. I was not viewed as being college material. I had to work my way through college. My Democrat superiors knew that I wanted to advance my career and they knew that I knew that you have to be a Democrat to advance your career. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How would your life been different if you had been a Democrat? If I had been a Democrat, my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors would not have taken the many big adverse actions against me that they did notwithstanding my being White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, my living in Crete 1948-1972 and my living in Wheaton since 1978.  Instead, they would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service long before I was 40 years old. I say that a) because I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) because I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 44, 47, and 48, and c) because I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Politics is nasty/vicious. Government is nasty/vicious. What is your hometown? My hometown is Crete. I lived in Crete 1948-1972. I should write a book about my critics/opponents in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned Crete the most as having been full of German American Lutherans while I lived there who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things. They stress that I am 100% German American and that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran while I lived in Crete. – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. QUESTION: What will it take to make the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) start defending and advancing the Republican Party platform? ANSWER: Direct election of IRP State Central Committee (SCC) members. My many critics/opponents in the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization have always vehemently opposed direct election of IRP SCC members. I should write a book about the many big adverse actions that they have taken against me because I promote direct election of IRP SCC members. – Dave Diersen

Author: David Diersen
