— DD: Robin Kelly, U.S. Congresswoman and candidate for U.S. Senate, is a member of the Illinois Democrat Party State Central Committee (SCC). Seventeen members of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) SCC, one from each congressional district, govern the IRP. What congressional district do you live in? Who represents you on the IRP SCC? Are they/can they run again? If they are not running again, who is? What do you know about them? What are their qualifications? Application information is at: https://illinois.gop/2026-state-central-committee-application/ Beyond tragically, the application form does not ask applicants to list what they have done a) to defend and advance the Republican Party platform or b) help elect Republican candidates. If I would run for IRP SCC for the 3rd Congressional District, which I am not, I would stress a) that I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman (RPC) since 1999, b) that I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, c) that I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, d) that I served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) officer 2003-2007, e) that I served on the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolution Committee and promoted direct election of IRP SCC members in 2008, f) that I have attended as a delegate all the IRP State Conventions since 2000, g) that I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, h) that I served as a director of the American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter 2001-2004, i) etc. Application requires a letter of recommendation from an elected Republican official who resides in Illinois. My critics/opponents in the IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and MTRO would stress the many big adverse actions they have their operative and their dupes take against me since 2000 including a) baring me from attending their DCRCC fundraiser on February 27 as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor unless I paid $75, b) throwing me off their IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, c) ending my role as the Republican Party fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, d) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, e) ending my TAPROOT chairmanship in 2012, f) ending my service as the MTRO webmaster in 2010 and 2004, g) ending my ICRC Steering Committee membership in 2007, h) almost getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, i) defeating my bid to serve as MTRO treasure in 2004, j) having someone run against me for RPC in 2000. My critics/opponents would also stress the many big adverse actions that my Democrat superiors in the federal government took against me. They would stress not only that I am not a veteran but that I avoided the Vietnam War draft. My “Republican” critics/opponents have a lot in common with my Democrat superiors in the federal government. My critics/opponents reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. My critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. They especially blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. Although not recently, I have attended many IRP SCC meetings since 2000. I promote direct election of IRP SCC members. My critics/opponents vehemently oppose that. My critics/opponents have their operatives and their dupes destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to coverup their wrong doing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money.

— Local State Sen. Anderson Pushes To Outlaw Abortion, Loses Republican Leadership Spots. DD: Because I support the Hyde Amendment, my critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being an extremist. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who are/were: a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican elected officials in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders.
https://wrmj.com/local-state-sen-anderson-pushes-to-outlaw-abortion-loses-republican-leadership-spots/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A local Illinois lawmaker pushing to end abortions in the state has stepped down from Illinois Senate GOP leadership. State Senator Neil Anderson (R-Andalusia) filed a bill that would define preborn children at any stage of biological development as people. The measure also says that anyone who has an abortion could be charged with murder. Anderson also filed a bill to reinstate the death penalty for first-degree murder. Illinois Senate Republican leader John Curran says the bill has no support. “I don’t support his proposal; no other Republican legislator supports his proposal, House or Senate,” said Curran. “It’s an extreme proposal. I do not view it as a pro-life proposal; I view it as an anti-woman proposal about punishment.” As a result of both proposals, Anderson was forced to resign from Senate Republican leadership.)

But then, my Democrat GAO superiors forced him to retire and pulled out all the stops to get rid of me. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female. or veteran.
