GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— My critics/opponents want the following to be a front page top of fold newspaper headline: “Democrats stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks.” – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: I looks like those who want to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks are going to win. During Wheaton’s City Council meeting yesterday evening, none of the leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), or Illinois Republican Party (IRP) spoke in favor of letting DuPage Republicans help sponsor the parade and fireworks. Further, the Milton Township Supervisor and MTRO Secretary John Monino spoke very strongly in favor of Michael Bernard, the Wheaton Park District Executive Director, who is leading the effort to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks.

As I have done since 2005, I again stand ready, willing, and able to again raise $2,500 from DuPage Republicans so that they can again be the top sponsor for Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.

Sadly, so far, I have not been able to confirm that the Wheaton Park District has contracted with bagpipers or Wheaton high school bands to march in the parade.

The following include those who want to stop DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks:

— Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois who want to punish Trump by punishing Republicans in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois;

— Those who want to stop me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks;

— Those who want to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and to stop everyone from reading those newsletters;

— Those who reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, immigration, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform;

— Those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, BLM, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination;

— Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have lost elections, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and/or their volunteers;

— Those who destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate/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 cover-up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money;

— Those who blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and/or for everyone’s problems; and/or

— Those who use Mr. Bernard’s false assertion that I clam to lead an “organization” to falsely hint/imply/argue/shout that I claim to lead an “organization.” The following lead MTRO: Chris LeVan, Chairman; Yadav Nathwani, Vice Chairman; John Monino, Secretary; and Beth Tatro, Treasurer. The following lead DCRCC: Jim Zay, Chairman; Deanna Wilkins, Honorary Chairman; Paul Hinds, Secretary; and Gwen Henry, Treasurer. The following lead the IRP: Don Tracy, Chairman; Mark Shaw, Co-Chairman; Mike Bigger, Secretary; Judy Dieklman, Treasurer; and 18 State Central Committee members including Bob Grogan.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— The following Republicans donated money to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and/or 2019 Independence Day Parades and Fireworks: Michael Barbier, Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Roger Claar, Mike Connelly, Dan Cronin, David Diersen, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elloitt, Paul Fullerton, Amy Grant, Chris Heidorn, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Robert Jacobsen, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Marty Keller, Mark Kmiecik, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Larsen, Robert Lyon, Jeff MacKay, Deanne Mazzochi, Paula McGowen, James Mendrick, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Karyn Romano, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Phil Suess, Brian Telander, John Vires, Ann Celine Walsh, Tim Whelan, Kevin Wiley, Karen Wilson, John Zaruba, and Jim Zay. – Dave Diersen

June 7 Evening Edition

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— From what I see, it is ever-increasingly clear that DuPage County Democrats want to punish Trump and punish his supporters for the January 6 Capitol Riot by stopping DuPage County Republicans from sponsoring Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. Needless-to-say, that is unacceptable.

I certainly hope that all of the following have entries in the parade: Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, U.S. Representative in the DuPage County area, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois Senate and Representative in the DuPage County area, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage County Board and Forest Preserve offices, and judicial candidates.

It is Wheaton’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks, not the Wheaton Park District’s Parade and Fireworks. Wheaton has given $30,000 to the Park District with $10,000 earmarked for parade entries and $20,000 earmarked for fireworks.

The more money that the Park District has for parade entries, the more and better entries that it can schedule.

The following is what I will ask Wheaton’s Mayor and Wheaton’s City Council to do at its meeting Monday evening, June 7, 2021 at 7:00 PM:

Direct the Wheaton Park District to:

— Use the same policy for sponsorship of Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks that it used for sponsorship of its 2019 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks, that is, allow DuPage Republicans to again donate $2,500 to be the top sponsor and earmark that donation for the bagpipers and high school bands, unless, of course, if the bagpipers and/or high school bands object to such earmarking

— Contract with bagpipers, for example, the Tunes of Glory Pipes and Drums or Chicago Highlanders Pipes & Drums, to march in the parade

— Contract with the Wheaton North and Wheaton Warrenville South high schools for their bands to march in the parade

— Publish and keep updated a list on its website of all parade entries as they come in

— Publish a detailed financial report a) on the money that it took in for the 2019 and prior Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks and b) how it spent that money for parade entries, etc.

— Report to Wheaton how it has/will spent/spend the $10,000 that it has received from the City of Wheaton for the 2021 parade and fireworks

— Report to Wheaton on what it has done, is doing, and will do to make Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade as successful as it can be in terms of a) number and quality of parade entries, b) promotion of the parade, c) etc.

The City of Wheaton is dedicated to the acceptance of all of its residents, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, age, beliefs, color, disability, ethnicity, identity, race or religion. We want everyone who lives, works or visits our community to feel valued and safe. We support equality for all members of the Wheaton community.

PARADE
— Real-Life Stories Behind 15 of the Greatest Songs of 1971 – JIM FARBER
(DIERSEN: What did you do in 1971? I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. I started the year working as the Retail Sales Manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights, taking a graduate business management course at UIC, and awaiting a decision on my application for a financial hardship draft deferment. That application was approved, and because of my draft lottery number, I was no longer subject to the draft. I believe that prompted Oldsmobile to offer me a job which I accepted. But when I told my Firestone boss, he immediately and rudely fired me. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS to be a GS-7 (currently $48,445/year) Revenue Officer in Chicago. But then, my Firestone boss offered me a part-time job pumping gasoline which I accepted. Before I started working for IRS and working part-time for Firestone, I went on a spring break vacation in the Bahamas. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago in August. That directly resulted in my buying a new 1972 Corvette and a 1962 Chevy Bel Air for everyday use. At the end of the year, IRS granted my request to be assigned to its Harvey office.)

CBS NEWS
— JULY 1, 2011 FLASHBACK: Do July 4th festivities make you Republican? – LUCY MADISON
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about the ever-increasing opposition to Wheaton Independence Day parades and opposition to Republican participation in them. Of course, January 6 has increased opposition to Wheaton Independence Day parades and opposition to Republican participation in them.)
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/do-july-4th-festivities-make-you-republican/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A new study argues that July 4th celebrations may not be as innocent as they seem – at least from the democratic perspective. According to the report, published by Harvard University, July 4th-themed festivities (defined by the study as fireworks, parades, political speeches, and barbecues) not only energize primarily Republicans, but also turn children into Republicans and increase GOP voter turnout. Simply put: “Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shape the nation’s political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation, primarily in favor of the Republican Party,” says the report, which was written by Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor David Yanagizawa-Drott and Bocconi University Assistant Professor Andreas Madestam. “The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century,” the authors write. “Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. According to this interpretation, there is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican party.” The study suggests that celebrating July 4 is, essentially, a lose-lose proposition for Democrats: Not only will they not likely gain any devotees from the festivities – they might actually lose some. “There is no evidence of an increased likelihood of identifying as a Democrat, indicating that Fourth of July shifts preferences to the right rather than increasing political polarization,” the study continues. Children, the authors posit, are particularly vulnerable to the implications of the (apparently) politically-loaded parades. “Fourth of July celebrations in Republican dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans,” say Yanagizawa-Drott and Madestam. “We were surprised to find that childhood experiences of Fourth July celebrations could have such persistent effects. The evidence suggests that important childhood events can have a permanent impact on political beliefs and behavior and that Fourth of July celebrations in the US affect the nation’s political landscape,” adds Yanagizawa-Drott. Of course, not everyone will be particularly concerned with the possible political implications of July 4th celebrations. If you’re looking for a more patriotic experience, you might want to check out a parade in a particularly Republican-skewing part of town – according to the report, “Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place.”)

BOSTON HERALD
— APRIL 24, 2019 FLASHBACK: Dracut bars local Republicans from marching in Memorial Day parade – AMARIS CASTILLO
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about the ever-increasing opposition to Wheaton Independence Day parades and opposition to Republican participation in them. Of course, January 6 has increased opposition to Wheaton Independence Day parades and opposition to Republican participation in them.)
https://www.bostonherald.com/2019/04/24/dracut-bars-local-republicans-from-marching-in-memorial-day-parade/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last week, the Dracut Republican Town Committee was not allowed to march in the town’s Memorial Day Parade on May 27. On Tuesday, they were. Finally, by midday Wednesday, the committee was barred again, turning the festivities into a political hot potato. Town Committee Chairman Brian Genest, in an email to The Lowell Sun, called the decision “… the underbelly of Dracut politics at its worst. The town is trying to pass the buck, which is total nonsense, and the Board of Selectmen should be ashamed of the political tactics they are allowing to silence free speech and our right to march. … “Our organization is a group of dedicated and patriotic town citizens who support our veterans, our community and our country. Stopping our group from marching is just plain wrong. Our members include an Air Force veteran and an Army veteran!” Richard Ducharme, commander of the American Legion Post 315, made the post’s final decision, citing its national policy on participation by political organizations. He said the Legion puts on the event, while the town helps organize the order of bands and participants. “It’s a Legion policy and that goes all the way to Nationals. We are not supposed to be affiliated with any political groups,” Ducharme said. “I appreciate them trying to support us and they can do that, but as far as marching in a group, we cannot allow that. We let the GOP go in, we let the Democrats in and the Independents, and we don’t want to turn this into a political rally. The Memorial Day Parade is somber. It’s to remember our fallen comrades.” “What is so questionable about letting Republicans honor and support our veterans?” an angry Genest said over the phone Monday. “They’d rather have a patriotic dog than a patriotic Republican. It’s nothing but pure and petty politics.” Genest said on Monday he believed Town Manager Jim Duggan was behind the initial ban. Duggan, in an email, said he was not going to politicize the event. On Tuesday night, the board of selectmen became involved. Duggan was directed to permit the town committee to march, after back-and-forth and disagreement between Duggan and a few of the selectmen. Duggan raised concerns about political candidates marching in the parade and said he checked with the Old Home Day Committee, the members of which at first allowed political groups to have tents at the event but later reversed their decision. Genest accused the Old Home Day Committee of discriminating against the town committee in the past. Dave Paquin of the Old Home Day Committee said that years ago they were forced to ban political candidates and groups from participating in the community event because attendees complained they were being harassed. Duggan on Wednesday said the town’s role in the Memorial Day parade is strictly to coordinate and enforce the wishes of the American Legion, and outreach. A flier uploaded onto the Dracut government website said participation in this year’s parade is open to businesses, individuals and organizations. Participation ideas included dance and karate studios, decorated antique and classic cars, and dogs in patriotic attire.)

https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2011/06/30/harvard-july-4th-parades-are-right-wing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democratic political candidates can skip this weekend’s July 4th parades. A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day. “Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shape the nation’s political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation, primarily in favor of the Republican Party,” said the report from Harvard. “The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century. Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. According to this interpretation, there is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican party. Fourth of July celebrations in Republican dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans,” write Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor David Yanagizawa-Drott and Bocconi University Assistant Professor Andreas Madestam. Their findings also suggest that Democrats gain nothing from July 4th parades, likely a shocking result for all the Democratic politicians who march in them. “There is no evidence of an increased likelihood of identifying as a Democrat, indicating that Fourth of July shifts preferences to the right rather than increasing political polarization,” the two wrote. The three key findings of those attending July 4th celebrations: When done before the age of 18, it increases the likelihood of a youth identifying as a Republican by at least 2 percent. It raises the likelihood that parade watchers will vote for a Republican candidate by 4 percent. It boosts the likelihood a reveler will vote by about 1 percent and increases the chances they’ll make a political contribution by 3 percent. What’s more, the impact isn’t fleeting. “Surprisingly, the estimates show that the impact on political preferences is permanent, with no evidence of the effects depreciating as individuals become older,”said the Harvard report. Finally, the report suggests that if people are looking for a super-patriotic July 4th, though should head to Republican towns. “Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place.”)

— DuPage Republicans should be allowed to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades and to get recognition for doing that – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: In his June 4, 2021 8:36 AM email to me and to the leaders of Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Park District Executive Director Michael Benard stated:

“While we are not accepting “sponsorships” for any aspect of the parade, you are welcome to make a general donation in support of the parade. It is not appropriate for the park district to sell sponsorships to political parties specifically identified to support the school district marching bands and we will not do so. As local governments, our elections and mission related activities are non-partisan. If your organization chooses to make a parade donation, it will be accepted with gratitude. Please know that it will not be appropriate for you to claim “sponsorship” of any school district or park district parade entries.”

I responded with “Needless-to-say, your new Wheaton Independence Day parade policy statement is a complete and dramatic reversal of Wheaton Independence Day parade policy that has been in place since at least 2005. Needless-to-say, any such complete and dramatic Wheaton Independence Day parade policy reversal would have to be voted on and passed by the Wheaton City Council before it could be implemented.”

I further respond that it was not my suggestion that DuPage Republicans be given specific recognition for sponsoring the bagpipers or the high school band entries, but it was the Wheaton Park District’s suggestion. I merely suggested that the $2,500 annual donations by DuPage Republicans be used for “patriotic” parade entries.

I certainly hope that the Wheaton Park District has contracted with the bagpipers and with the high school bands to march in the parade. It would be great if the Wheaton Park District would publish and update a list on its website of all the parade entries as they come in.

It would be great if the Wheaton Park District would publish detailed financial reports a) on all the money that it took in for the 2019 and prior Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks and b) exactly how the Wheaton Park District spent all that money. Exactly how has/will the Wheaton Park District spent/spend the $10,000 that it has received from the City of Wheaton for the 2021 parade and fireworks?

If DuPage Republicans again donated $2,500 for the parade and fireworks, exactly what recognition would DuPage Republicans get for that donation from the Wheaton Park District?

I certainly hope that all of the aforesaid issues are resolved before the Wheaton City Council meeting on Monday, June 7, 2021 at 7:00 PM ( https://www.wheaton.il.us/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_06072021-1674 ), but I doubt that they will be.

It would be great if at that meeting, Mr. Benard would give the Wheaton City Council a detailed report on exactly what the Wheaton Park District has done, is doing, and will do to make Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade a great success.

I will address the aforesaid issues during the “Citizens To Be Heard” part of the meeting.

A regular meeting of the Wheaton Park District Board of Commissioners is scheduled for Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 5:00 PM. If the aforesaid issues are not resolved by then, I will address them during the “Community Input” part of the meeting.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: City leaders are also concerned about how the number of parade entries has dwindled over the years. “This parade is one of our lowest turnouts of a parade,” Stansell said. “Our holiday parade brings in anywhere between 30 to 40 entries, and unfortunately our Liberty Independence Day Parade brings in an average of 16 entries, and each year it gets lower and lower.” Stansell said nearly half of the parade entries in the holiday parade are from local schools and school organizations. She said with it being the summer, those groups are unlikely to participate in July. She said the Sunday parade would put participants outside in the hottest part of the day.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Email that I sent Wheaton and Wheaton Park District Leaders this morning with CCs to Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party Leaders – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com


(THE EMAIL: Please allow DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade.

As we all know, Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades have always been very important. DuPage County has more residents than six states and Wheaton is its County Seat. Bob Dole walked in the parade in 1996. The Obamas walked in the parade in 2004. Many U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, Illinois statewide officials, Illinois Senators, Illinois Representatives, DuPage countywide officials, DuPage County District officials, judges, and justices have walked in the parades.

Since 2005, DuPage Republicans have helped sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day Parades. For many years, DuPage Republicans have been the parade’s top sponsor by contributing $2,500 with $1,200 earmarked for the combined Wheaton North and Wheaton-Warrenville South Bands and $1,000 earmarked for bagpipers. I have had the honor of raising those contributions from Republican candidates, Republican elected officials, and Republican party leaders. In 2007, I raised an additional $2,000 from Republicans for an elephant to walk behind Peter Roskam in the parade.

But yesterday, Wheaton Park District Superintendent of Marketing & Special Events Amy Seklecki advised me by phone that for this year’s parade, parade sponsorships will not be allowed. I told her that I would appeal that decision.

For many years, Wheaton has given the Wheaton Park District $30,000 a year with $20,000 earmarked for fireworks and $10,000 earmarked for parade entries. I certainly hope that the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization are encouraging all the candidates who will be on 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County, Milton Township, and especially Wheaton a) to have an entry in Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and b) help sponsor the parade. This is especially true for Republican candidates for U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Illinois statewide offices, Illinois Senator, Illinois Representative, DuPage countywide offices, DuPage district offices, and judicial races.

Republican entries in Wheaton’s outstanding 2019 Independence Day Parade were Bob Berlin, Amy Grant, Chris Kachiroubas, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Ann Celine Walsh, and Milton Township Republican Central Committee. Those who walked with the entries included Almiron, Anderson, Carlson, Caruso, Colgan, Collins, Falbo, Fisher, Furstenau, Ives, Keller, LeVan, Marquardt, Marshall, Monino, Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Ruhl, Ryan, Saake, Shaw, and Whelan. With their $2,500 contribution, “DuPage County Republicans” were again the top sponsor for the parade and fireworks. Contributions were: $500 from Roger Claar; $250 each from Berlin, Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, and Tim Whelan; and $100 each from Michael Barbier, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elliott, Grant, Chris Heidorn, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Marty Keller, Bob Larsen, and Walsh. I hand-delivering 500 flyers (printed courtesy of Alpha Graphics) to the residences and businesses on the parade route that included the Republican entries in the parade, the sponsor’s names, and the amounts they contributed.

Again, please allow DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade.

Thanks,
Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— In his June 4, 2021 8:36 AM email to me with CCs to all the Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party Leaders, Wheaton Park District Executive Director Michael Benard stated: “While we are not accepting “sponsorships” for any aspect of the parade, you are welcome to make a general donation in support of the parade. It is not appropriate for the park district to sell sponsorships to political parties specifically identified to support the school district marching bands and we will not do so. As local governments, our elections and mission related activities are non-partisan. If your organization chooses to make a parade donation, it will be accepted with gratitude. Please know that it will not be appropriate for you to claim “sponsorship” of any school district or park district parade entries. I look forward to seeing you and those you represent on Independence Day as we all come together to celebrate our great Nation and our freedom.”

I responded to Mr. Benard and all the aforesaid leaders with the following: “Needless-to-say, your new Wheaton Independence Day parade policy statement is a complete and dramatic reversal of Wheaton Independence Day parade policy that has been in place since at least 2005. Needless-to-say, any such complete and dramatic Wheaton Independence Day parade policy reversal would have to  be voted on and passed by the Wheaton City Council before it could be implemented.” – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com

(CORRECTION: In yesterday evening’s newsletter, I erroneously left out the word “not.” The sentence should read “But today, Wheaton Park District Superintendent of Marketing & Special Events Amy Seklecki advised me by phone that for this year’s parade, parade sponsorships will not be allowed.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “For many CPS graduates, the college experience is far less straightforward than going to a four-year university or transferring from a two-year school. While many graduates enroll in two-year colleges as a ‘steppingstone,’ that’s not always how it works out. More than three-quarters of students in the CPS class of 2011 who went straight to a two-year college reported that they planned to complete at least a bachelor’s degree, according to the UChicago report. But only around one-fifth transferred to a four-year school,”)
