CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— DD: ACCORDING TO BREITBART: Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration every bit as much as Donald J. Trump. Chávez understood that illegal aliens undermined the wages of legal migrant workers and their union bargaining power. Cesar Chavez was so opposed to illegal immigration that, just like Minuteman Project of 2004, which was widely smeared in the legacy media as racist, Chavez put together his own militia to stop illegals from crossing the border. There are credible reports that violence was used as an example to others. To form his United Farmworkers Union (UFW), it was Chavez versus the growers, and for obvious reasons, the growers loved the open border. For just as obvious reasons, Chavez did not. And there you have it.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— There are far too many wrong reasons to vote for candidates. Far too many vote for Democrat and RINO candidates a) because they want to punish Trump, b) because the candidate hints/implies/argues/shouts that if elected, they will use government to give more preference to those who share the voter’s demographics and/or b) because the candidate and/or their spouse share the voter’s demographics. To get elected, ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO candidates promise to use government to give more preference to voters who are Trump-haters, liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, non-rich, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are in America illegally. To get elected, ever-increasingly, Democrat and RINO candidates promise to use government to promote more hatred against Trump, dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, vices, gun control, and Affirmative Acton and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. According to Google AI: Political analysts and ethicists point to several “wrong” or irrational reasons for casting a vote, generally defined as those that do not involve a critical assessment of a candidate’s qualifications, policies, or potential to contribute to the common good. Common examples of potentially poor reasons to vote for a candidate include: Party Loyalty Over Substance: Voting purely along party lines without examining the specific candidate’s platform or character, driven by a belief that it is wrong to abandon one’s party. Single-Issue Voting: Supporting or opposing a candidate based solely on their position on one specific issue, without weighing the candidate’s stance on a range of other important matters. Candidate’s Appearance or Charisma: Focusing on superficial traits like a candidate’s looks, how they speak, or their “celebrity” status, rather than their policy proposals or governing ability. One historical example cited is an elector in 1852 who objected to a candidate purely because “he wears mustachios”. Unrealistic or Impossible Promises: Being swayed by grand but unfeasible promises, such as instantly lowering grocery prices or ending a war overnight, without scrutinizing the practical means of achieving them. Fear and Prejudice: Allowing fear of an opposing group (e.g., immigrants, different religious groups, other political parties) to dictate a vote, rather than a thoughtful consideration of the candidates’ merits. Voting for “Free Things”: Supporting a candidate purely because they promise government benefits or “free” programs, without considering the economic feasibility or overall impact on society. Ballot Position: Choosing a candidate simply because they are listed higher on the ballot, which studies have shown can influence voters who have not researched the candidates. “Feel-Good” Citizenship: Voting based on prejudices or delusions, which may provide psychological pleasure to the voter but result in supporting policies contrary to their own or the public’s best interests. – Dave Diersen

— What will your Republican Precinct Committeeman do to help elect the Republican candidates on the ballot in your precinct on November 3? Of course, I will try to get as many sign locations as possible in my precinct. I will hand-deliver a DuPage County GOP envelope with my return address label on it to all the residences in my precinct that have a) at least one Republican registered voter and b) only NA registered voters. The envelopes will contain a copy of the sample ballot, a Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) Voter Guide, and campaign literature from all of the candidates who provide their literature to the MTRO. The Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct are Tracy, Bailey, Fioretti, Harris, Drew, Soloman, Oakley, Lewis, Vrankovich, Grasso, Noonan, Schiappa, Henry, Eckhoff, Michaud, Schultz, Quirk, and Helland or Senak. – Dave Diersen

— What motivates you to help elect candidates? For me it is their demonstrated intention and ability to defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I am a platform Republican. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform in conservative. – Dave Diersen

— DD: Are you in a traditional marriage? In traditional marriages, men are responsible for earning enough money to pay the bills. But with Affirmative Action and DEI, employers have ever-increasingly hired, retained, and promoted women over men. Most if not virtually all of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were women. All of them had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had fewer professional certifications than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. During the last 8 years that I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO, all my Chicago office superiors and supervisors were women who were younger than me and did not share my conservativism, my Republicanism, my religion (Protestant), or my national origin (German). All of their parents were immigrants while my ancestors have been in America since 1844. When I was 49 in 1997, they took the lead in forcing me to retire. I should write about that.

According Democrats and according to RINOs, those who are the aforesaid have benefited the most from slavery. In my defense, while all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, they always lived in northeast Illinois. Since the 1960s, those above me have made me pay the price of AA and DEI big time. What are your demographics?

The most important tests that I passed were the CPA examination when I was 30 in 1979 and Certified Internal Auditor examination when I was 32, both of which I passed on my first attempt, something that only about 20% do. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors were furious that I passed those tests because my Democrat coworkers who they wanted to promote over me and who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran had not taken either of the tests, had failed them, or had not passed them on their first attempt. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I passed the tests because I benefitted greatly from Republican discrimination against Democrats, and especially Republican discrimination against Democrats who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.
