— Precinct Training Opportunity Tuesday Evening, May 5th. DD: I have been a DuPage County and Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman since I was appointed one in 1999. In 2000, DuPage County Republican Central Committee and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) RINO and Democrat plant leaders succeeded in getting a registered Republican voter to run against me, but not since then. In 2004 and 2010 they rudely fired me as the MTRO webmaster. In 2004, they rudely defeated me when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer position. In 2015, they rudely gerrymandered my precinct. In 2021, they rudely ended my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, a role that I had since 2005. In 2024, they rudely ended my membership on the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee. They ever-increasingly blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the losses suffered by Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct.

— Disgraced Ex-Lawmakers Eye Taxpayer Pensions. DD: Did your employer(s) disgrace you? My Democrat superiors in the federal government disgraced me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions, and disallowed my travel vouchers. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign and disallowed my sick leave requests. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. Since 2000, to disgrace me, the following have taken many big adverse actions against me: 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, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) major Republican donors, e) conservative leaders, and f) religious leaders.

Further, after my wife and I got married in 1978, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates got ever-increasingly more furious that we could and that we did save lots of our salaries for our retirement because we gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not have foster children.

In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32.

I would focus on those leaders whose candidates won primary elections but lost general elections. I would focus on those leaders who have blamed those losses the most on me, on my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, on what I did as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks, on what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, and on what I did as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member.
