CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Rep. Adam Kinzinger on the fight for the future of the GOP: ‘That epic battle has commenced. The most prominent Republican in Illinois, Kinzinger is stepping up his crusade to “RestoreOurGOP,” as his hashtag says, in this post-Trump era. – Lynn Sweet (DIERSEN: The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee (SCC) has postponed to February 6 the meeting that it had scheduled for tomorrow to interview candidates for IRP chairman. What positions do the candidates have on Trump, on Kinzinger, etc.? The answers to those questions should by now be well-known not only by the IRP SCC members, but a) by all the chairmen of the Republican county, township, and ward organizations in Illinois and b) by all the Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Illinois. This is especially true because IRP SCC members are not elected by Republican voters in Illinois, but by Republican Precinct Committeemen outside of Cook County and by Township and Ward Committeemen in Cook County. All Republicans in Illinois should know by now, but do not know what positions the IRP Chairmen candidates have on Trump, Kinzinger, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Evangelist and Trump acolyte Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham, likened the 10 to Judas Iscariot in a Facebook post: “It makes you wonder what the 30 pieces of silver were that Speaker Pelosi promised for this betrayal.” I asked Kinzinger about what Graham said regarding the 10, and he told me, “as a Christian myself it was just heartbreaking to see” how “far, you know, personalities in the movement have fallen.” Kinzinger, 42, raised a Baptist, left that church when he was 20 and is now a “non- denominational Protestant.” For Graham to “equate those of us that voted to defend the Constitution to Judas, who betrayed Jesus, aka Trump, I mean it was — I didn’t get mad about it because nothing really makes me mad, you know — but I was just, I was actually more heartbroken,” Kinzinger said.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Kinzinger’s criticism of Trump puts focus on divide in Illinois GOP as party gets set to elect new leadership – RICK PEARSON
https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-adam-kinzinger-trump-illinois-republicans-20210129-sybzihfppbazrcviq2v2cvupka-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Republican State Central Committee will meet Feb. 6 to decide among three candidates for outgoing Chairman Tim Schneider. But some in the party want to use the forum to discuss Kinzinger and a possible reprimand for his anti-Trump statements, which increased in vitriol following the Nov. 2 election and the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. “There’s a group that wants to talk about it and it’s not positive. There are those who want to censure him. There’s people wanting to know what the state party is going to do about it,” said former Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar, who represents the 11th Congressional District near Kinzinger’s 16th District on the state GOP central committee. The schism in the state GOP mirrors what’s happening with Republicans nationally as the party struggles to move forward even as many of its voters continue to back Trump and believe the November election was stolen from him. . .Kinzinger’s recent views and actions toward Trump, his supporters and the majority of his party have elevated his national stature, earning him cable-news interviews and profiles in The Washington Post and The Atlantic. But they also did not go unnoticed by state GOP leaders. Some have said they have received phone calls asking what the Illinois Republican Party was going to do about Kinzinger. The congressman was the subject of some discussion at a GOP State Central Committee meeting last weekend. “I think the party majority are kind of disappointed. I mean, the one thing I’ve heard most from Republicans over the years since Reagan is the old 11th Commandment,” Claar said of the former president’s admonishment to not speak ill of fellow Republicans. Claar accused Kinzinger of causing upheaval in the party to no clear end. “What is the point? Why are you elevating this thing into regional if not national prominence? What purpose are you serving here? You’re further pointing out the division in the party,” Claar said. . .Claar supported Trump and even co-hosted a fundraiser for him at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. That’s where the state GOP leaders were supposed to meet Saturday until a predicted snowstorm pushed off the date to Feb. 6. But he said Illinois Republicans should take a wait-and-see attitude on the party’s future and whether it should continue to align itself with the former president. “Let’s just leave it alone and see how it plays out,” Claar said. He said if the party does decide to speak out on Kinzinger he would oppose any effort to censure the congressman for his conduct, a course taken by GOP party leaders in some states against congressional members who voted for impeachment. “It serves no purpose to have headlines that say ‘Republican state party censures congressman.’ That would just give it more legs,” Claar said. “I think it would be better to just issue an observation of the reality that a congressman can say what he wants and it’s up to his constituency to decide whether they like it or not.” . . . Much of the state GOP’s decision on how to respond to Kinzinger may come down to its pick of a new chairman to replace Schneider, a former Cook County commissioner and Hanover Township trustee from Streamwood. . . State Sen. Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet, said his focus for the next meeting was on picking a new state chairman, not on Kinzinger. “It’s about picking the right person to move us forward as we prepare for 2022,” said Rose, the 15th Congressional District state central committeeman. “We need to be focused on the right person to win 2022 and frankly, how we unite the party is what I’m hoping to hear from each of the candidates.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP PARTY PAUSE: The Republican State Central Committee has canceled Saturday’s meeting to name a new party chair. The meeting was supposed to be in Bolingbrook (not Bloomington, as I mistakenly stated on Thursday). Some downstate committee members were concerned about their return home as snow is forecast for Saturday evening, according to a spokesman. The plan is to hold the meeting Feb. 6. Kinzinger’s criticism of Trump puts focus on divide in Illinois GOP: “The Republican State Central Committee will meet Feb. 6 to decide among three candidates for outgoing Chairman Tim Schneider. But some in the party want to use the forum to discuss Kinzinger and a possible reprimand for his anti-Trump statements, which increased in vitriol following the Nov. 3 election and the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters,” by Tribune’s Rick Pearson. Kinzinger talks to Axelrod about his impeachment vote: Rep. Adam Kinzinger is willing to lose his seat over his vote to impeach then-President Donald Trump, the Illinois Republican told CNN’s David Axelrod during an episode of “The Axe Files” podcast released Thursday. “I did it knowing full well it could very well be terminal to my career,” Kinzinger said of his vote. “But I also knew that I couldn’t live with myself having, you know, try to just protect it and just felt like the one time I was called to do a really tough duty, I didn’t do it.” And Kinzinger addresses his evangelical roots with The Atlantic’s Emma Green. – Shia Kapos

— Casey Urlacher, the Mettawa mayor pardoned by former President Donald Trump for his alleged involvement in a gambling scheme, is running for re-election as a write-in candidate now that his name has been cleared. “Even before I received a pardon, residents were encouraging me to run for reelection, to continue that progress. With the support of our residents, I made the decision that I would run for another term,” Urlacher said in a statement to Playbook. Urlacher, the brother of former Bears Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher, was among 73 people pardoned or commuted by Trump during his final hours in office. A federal indictment had charged that Urlacher and nine others ran an offshore sports gambling ring that raked in millions of dollars from hundreds of Chicago-area gamblers. Urlacher was charged with conspiracy and running an illegal gambling business. With an indictment looming over him, Urlacher didn’t file to run for a third term. That changed after Trump’s pardon. Urlacher’s quick return to politics comes as many Republican lawmakers nationwide shed their concerns about Trump’s role in inciting the attack on the U.S. Capitol. “My position is unpaid, and I look forward to a positive campaign, earning the votes of residents, and serving for another term,” Urlacher said in his statement. It’s too late in the process for Urlacher to get his name printed on the ballot for the April 6 election. He faces former Mettawa Mayor Jess Ray of the Back to the Future Party. – Shia Kapos

WASHINGTON EXAMINER

— Big Tech is behaving more like Big Brother – Rep. Roger Marshall (DIERSEN: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes side with Big Tech, that is, with Big Brother.)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/big-tech-is-behaving-more-like-big-brother
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During the 1984 Super Bowl, a young company that had been founded less than a decade earlier in a garage in Los Altos, California, spent $1.5 million to its first significant commercial for a new, groundbreaking product — the Macintosh, the first personal computer. The company was Apple, and the advertisement was a defining moment that distinguished Apple as a company willing to go against the grain and rescue humanity from conformity. The ad had been inspired by George Orwell’s 1984 and featured a woman escaping police pursuit, running through a movie theater. She runs to the front of the theater and throws a hammer through a screen portraying a man’s face meant to represent Big Brother. As the camera pans to the audience, fully in shock from the movie screen’s explosion, the commercial concludes with black text that reads: “On January 24, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like 1984.” Nearly 40 years later, it is hard to recognize the company that paid to air this ad and established itself as a company that thinks differently. Unfortunately, that company no longer subscribes to a belief in free individual thought. It has demonstrated as much in recent weeks, taking a 180-degree turn. Apple now finds itself, along with other major Big Tech companies such as Google and Twitter, serving as Big Brother through the censorship and surveillance of conservative voices they and their political allies in Congress don’t agree with.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: I think if there was any complicity in the events of January 6th we shouldn’t jump the gun, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. We need to wait for that investigation to play out,” Meijer responded. “But we’re taking security risks seriously. I think it was my colleague Adam Kinzinger who said, you know, it’s not necessarily the death threats that are made to you that you worry about, it’s the ones that aren’t, it’s the people who are planning and not saying what they’re planning to do.” Some Democratic members of Congress have expressed their views that some of their Republican colleagues are white supremacist sympathizers and they don’t feel safe around them. They have yet to name any specific members who they feel fit that description.)

DAILY HERALD
— Oppose racial profiling – Bradley Williams, Mundelein
https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20210127/oppose-racial-profiling
(FROM THE LETTER: HB0038 is currently in committee of the Illinois House of Representatives. This bill should concern Illinoisans who aspire for a community so beautifully described by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as one where people “will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” In a departure from Dr. King’s aspirations, HB0038 calls for consideration of race in the hiring process of public-school teachers. This would seem to violate several federal and state civil rights laws. Specifically, the Illinois Civil Rights Act of 2003 which explains that a unit of the state cannot “subject a person to discrimination under any program or activity on the grounds of that person’s race, color, national origin, or gender,” as well as the language of the Illinois Human Rights Act which prohibits race-based discrimination in employment. While one component of HB0038 undermines Dr. King’s message through employment considerations, another does so through mandates of curriculum and instruction at the local level. Starting as early as elementary school, HB0038 would require students to learn curriculum based in a discipline of academia that places race as an essential and defining part of human interaction. In this model, one’s status as oppressor or oppressed is heavily determined by skin color. In one application of this curriculum, groups of third-grade students analyzed their racial and sexual identities according to “power and privilege” and then wrote reflections on their status as being either privileged or oppressed. One parent described the activities as “basically teaching racism.” Humbly, I submit, a society that places race as an essentially defining element of most human interaction is not one so admirably envisioned by Dr. King. With that in mind, Illinoisans should oppose HB0038.)

In my opinion, my becoming the only active member in GAO’s Chicago office in a class action lawsuit that charged my GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in 1988 when I was 40 years old was as serious as Kinzinger’s voting to impeach Trump in 2021 when he was 42 years old. My Democrat GAO superiors immediately threw me off audits of IRS and gave me an adverse job assignments, unfair performance expectations, and unfair performance appraisals. They might have succeeded in getting rid of me if Henry Hyde had not come to my defense. However, they continued to keep me off audits of IRS, to give me unfair performance expectations, to give me unfair performance appraisals, and to always rank me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. In 1997 they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” They were furious that I became Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997 and that I earned a job-related master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997 because the aforesaid frustrated their efforts to get rid of me. If I had had drinking problems like Kinzinger had, I would not have gotten jobs washing dishes 1964-1966; cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; delivering mail 1966-1969; working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumping gasoline 1971-1972; collecting delinquent taxes 1971-1980; or auditing federal agencies 1980-1997. IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974 and GAO would not have promoted me in 1986. If I had had drinking problems like Kinzinger had, Loyola might not have accepted me in 1972, DePaul might not have accepted me in 1976, and IIT might not have accepted me in 1992. If I had had drinking problems like Kinzinger had, I doubt that I would have passed CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 or passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. Kinzinger is a veteran. Starting in 1966, my Democrat superiors, Democrat supervisors, Democrat coworkers, and Democrat subordinates always used my avoiding the draft against me.)

In his first semester at Illinois State, he joined a fraternity and came home with a 2.5 GPA. The next semester, he got a 0.8 and was kicked out. He spent the next six months living with his parents and working as a manager in the furniture section of a department store. He tried to date the daughter of a fellow store manager, only to learn that he forbade her from going out with him.)

Even Politico is beginning to see through its own bias enough to understand this, as noted by Jack Shafer in his recent piece: “How About a Little Sobriety Please?” In the column, Shafer says, “At a time when large portions of the country think mainstream media is a tool of the left, perhaps it’s time to tone down the Biden adulation.”)

My plan for a career in the automotive industry ended in 1971 when Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Black Americans trail Whites on every economic measure, including wealth, income, employment and homeownership. The disparities have existed for decades, even when comparing workers with similar education levels. The gaps, economists say, stem in large part from government-sanctioned policies that continue to discriminate against Black people in lending, housing, education and criminal justice.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Deerfield, said in a statement after filing the bill the riots in the U.S Capitol on Jan. 6 were from “domestic terror groups and extremists,” and fighting “white supremacy” isn’t a Republican or Democratic issue. His bill would give federal law enforcement like the FBI more power “to monitor, investigate, and prosecute cases of domestic terrorism.”)

CHICAGO METROPOLITAN AGENCY FOR PLANNING
— Illinois sees second-largest population loss of U.S. states
https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000177-26d3-d167-a57f-27f3b3fc0000&nname=illinois-playbook&nid=00000150-1596-d4ac-a1d4-179e288b0000&nrid=00000150-705d-d7de-afdb-7d7f3ea90001&nlid=639163
(FROM POLITICO: DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will counties are among only nine counties in Illinois that saw population growth since 2010. That means the vast majority of Illinois’ population losses have occurred outside of Cook County, the collar counties and Kendall County (which make up the CMAP region). Top destinations for residents leaving Illinois include neighboring states (Indiana and Wisconsin) and high-population states (California, Florida and Texas). The Chicago region’s growth rate is slower than other major metro areas. Compared to the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., the Chicago region ranked 46th in growth rate since 2010.)

That is why ever-increasingly, Republicans are buying firearms and ammunition for their self-defense.)
https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/ryun-americans-arent-even-an-afterthought-to-biden-administration
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Member of Congress by the name of Brad Schneider lashed out at us and accused us of supporting death and killing for raising those questions. We asked him to come on the show tonight, of course he didn’t because he’s afraid. But we thought deeply about what he said we’ll respond to it after the break. . .We told you about this last night and we mentioned specifically a Member of Congress from Illinois, a character called Brad Schneider. Schneider says he’d like to pass something called the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. Apparently, Brad Schneider was watching last night. As you hear his reply, ask yourself: is this the guy you want in charge of preventing domestic terrorism? Here’s how he responded, quote: “Do I want to see increased monitoring of the types of violent extremist domestic terrorists that attacked the Capitol leaving five people dead, including a police officer? Absolutely. The real question is why Tucker Carlson is okay with their deaths?” Right. So if you have questions about handing Brad Schneider, whoever that guy is, the keys to your country, voiding the Bill of Rights because Brad Schneider demands that you do after the insurrection on January 6th, then you’re killing police officers. You want people to die and maybe you need your civil liberties taken away. We’ll see. Now if this all sounds familiar, it is because every time something horrible happens, creepy little demagogues like Brad Schneider rush to the microphone and tell you, I’m sorry, you can’t be free anymore. It happened after 9/11. 9/11? What does it have to do with January 6th? It seems like kind of an odd comparison. In fact, so disproportionate it’s laughable and offensive to the 3,000 people who died on 9/11. But Members of Congress are invoking anyway, by the way, from both parties. In the same briefing where Brad Schneider gave his stupid and scary opinions, another Member of Congress, a former F.B.I. agent called Brian Fitzpatrick said we must adopt the same attitude toward domestic terrorism that we had toward al Qaeda after 9/11.)

CREATORS SYNDICATE
— The Conservative Path Forward in the Biden-Harris Era – Josh Hammer (DIERSEN: Who are the conservative leaders in Illinois, in your county, in your township, and in your municipality? How often do they write articles or draw your attention to articles that promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform? How often do they write articles or draw your attention to articles that oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination?)
https://www.creators.com/read/josh-hammer/01/21/the-conservative-path-forward-in-the-biden-harris-era
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It is thus incumbent upon well-positioned bastions of conservative legal clout, centered around Texas’s Office of the Solicitor General, to aggressively litigate and seek recourse in the courts. . .Next, conservatives must do the hard work of actually building up the digital and corporate infrastructure to push back in earnest against Big Tech, “woke” capital and the broader “cancel culture” threat to the American way of life. . .Finally, exiled conservatives must continue to build a constructive, substantive conservative agenda that is politically appealing and can actually win at the ballot box. We know the path forward: an unassertive defense of traditional American bourgeois values; opposition to the excesses of neo-Marxist “woke”-ism; a political economics that is unafraid to use government to channel productive market activity and support those in true need; unapologetic moral prioritization of the rule of law; temperance in foreign policy; and sobriety about the limits of immigration assimilation. That is a winning political platform.)

— FROM THE ARTICLE: From Sen. Dave Syverson (R-Rockford)…Adam is a friend of mine but in this case he made a mistake. People are very angry with him. They believe he overreacted before doing his homework. Instead of calling out those who broke the law, some who have now been proven not to be Trump supporters he joined Pelosi in a political impeachment not a legal one. Politically it becomes a problem. Locally Democrats are saying he supported Trump’s initiatives all these years and he did this just to try to get cover going into remapping. And Republicans also think the motive was political. He has a difficult road ahead.

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters promote Kinzinger. 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump. 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump. 20,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump. 157 in my precinct voted for Trump.
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/tom-kacich-better-times-ahead-for-illinois-republicans/article_1cc062df-4b15-5efe-a5da-f063caf51b70.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s moderate Republicans like Kinzinger, willing to make a quick and clean break with Trump, who are the future of the state Republican Party. Trump’s loss — finally — is good news for the Illinois GOP. Although he won six of the state’s 18 congressional districts (by between 1.7 and 45.7 percentage points), he lost the other 12 by anywhere from 2.5 to 74 percentage points. Overall, he lost the state by a stunning 17 percentage points, twice. Trump will no longer be a handicap to Republicans in the Chicago suburbs and in places like Champaign County, where he could manage no more than 37 percent of the vote and where the once-dominant GOP lost six countywide offices since Trump became president. Democrats also have gained a pair of seats in both the Illinois House and Senate since 2016. Trump’s loss, combined with the demise of Michael J. Madigan, the longtime Speaker of the House who has bedeviled Republicans in the Legislature for 50 years, makes January 2021 one of the best months for the Illinois GOP in years. The political pendulum may finally be moving in favor of Republicans in the Land of Lincoln.)

https://www.nprillinois.org/post/after-capitol-riot-backlash-sen-josh-hawleys-book-will-hit-shelves-may#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri has a new reason to raise a clenched fist in the air: After much controversy, his book The Tyranny of Big Tech will be published. Washington-based Regnery Publishing, which aims to spread the message of “prominent and lasting voices in American conservatism,” announced on Monday it will publish the title in May. “We’re proud to publish Mr. Hawley’s book, which his original publisher has made more important than ever,” Regnery President Thomas Spence, said in a column published in The Wall St. Journal. Spence said he expects the book “will get additional attention,” and added, “We have a long tradition of publishing authors some of the mainstream publishers prefer to ignore.” “We don’t have to agree with everything—or anything—Mr. Hawley does. We ask only if his book is well-crafted and has something true and worthwhile to say. The answer is yes.” The book itself, The Tyranny of Big Tech, makes the argument that mega-tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple, wield too much market power and political influence. As a result, he says, these companies are threatening America’s republican form of government by quashing competition while raking in massive profits.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As for the Republican party going forward, even after losing the election, Donald Trump’s ability to rally his base remained a valuable asset to the GOP. Pickerill said the party is dealing turmoil between Trump backers and more traditional conservatives. “There are obviously more traditional Republicans who don’t like ‘Trumpism’ who would like to get back to a kind of more traditional conservatism and libertarianism, so I think there is going to be a battle,” Pickerill said.)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Owner orders WLS-AM (890), other stations to stop alleging ‘stolen election’ Cumulus Media, which syndicates prominent Trump supporters Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin, says its personalities need to tone things down or face firing. – AP (DIERSEN: He who pays the piper calls the tunes. No one calls my tunes. All the time and all the money needed to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and to send them out comes from me. However, because I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, my critics/opponents do everything that they can to get the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization to get rid of me.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— ‘I fear we’re not done with all this’: US Capitol riot tests the loyalty of Chicago-area Trump supporters – JOHN KEILMAN and ROBERT MCCOPPIN (DIERSEN: Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters want the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, etc. to get rid of the a) the 2,446,891 in Illinois who voted for Trump, b) the 193,611 in DuPage County who voted for Trump, c) the 20,080 in Milton Township who voted for Trump, and d) the 157 in my precinct who voted for Trump.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-local-trump-supporters-capitol-riot-20210112-ct7axn2hmjcnbmv5b6zqtunt2q-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While Illinois Republicans have denounced the violence in Washington, some have declined to hold Trump responsible in their public statements. U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger of the 16th District is a notable exception: He has called for Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment. Jim Zay, head of the DuPage Republican Party, is another. He wrote in a Facebook post the day of the riot that “if anyone is injured or worse it will be on the hands of the president.” He was uneasy about a rift developing between hard-core Trump supporters and the rest of the Republican Party, though he hoped most would stay even if Trump tries to build an independent political movement. “We’re the party of Lincoln, we’re the party of Reagan,” Zay said. “If people think they’re going to form a third party for Donald Trump, good luck.”)

GLENVIEW PATCH
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: A hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-hater asks “Do you know the name of your Republican Committee Person?” and says “Every one of us in Cook County, save two Townships, has an elected (or appointed) Republican office holder; they need to know how you feel!!” (DIERSEN: 2,446,891 in Illinois voted for Trump. 193,611 in DuPage County voted for Trump. 20,080 in Milton Township voted for Trump. 157 in my precinct voted for Trump. What does the future hold for Trump supporters in your precinct, in your municipal district, in your municipality, in your township, in your county district, in your county, and in Illinois? From what I see, the more of the following that is true about you, the more that hate-filled Trump-hating Trump haters will do to get rid of you once and for all: a) shared articles that were favorable to Trump, b) cast a Republican ballot in the March 17, 2020 primary, c) voted for Trump in the November 3, 2020 election, d) displayed a Trump yard sign, e) gave money to Trump, f) serve as a Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain, and/or g) are running for an office as a Republican in the April 6, 2021 election.)
https://patch.com/illinois/glenview/do-you-know-name-your-republican-committee-person
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I spoke yesterday to a lifelong and staunch Democrat, a former candidate for elected office. I shared with her my conflict. She encouraged me to stay in the party and to make a change internally. As a resident of Cook County, that might not be easy. The fealty for the Head of the Republican Party (45) is disgusting to me. I have been and will continue to be a NEVER Trump Republican, and I have supported the Lincoln Project. . .Local governance and elections are the bedrock of our Constitutional Form of Government. People often say we are a Democracy when in actuality, we are a Representative Republic. In Illinois, the most basic unit of our government is the Republican and Democratic Committeewomen and Men elected to serve our respective parties. In Suburban Cook County, these representatives are ELECTED every four years at the Primary election for Governor. The political subdivision is the Township. At the March 20, 2018, Primary election, the following Republican Township Committeepersons were elected without opposition (please remember this point). . . I would venture to say that MOST Republican Primary Voters have no idea who their elected Committeeperson currently is, and even fewer have met them. The next Cook County Committeeperson election is likely March 15, 2022. A simple question should be put to every one of these elected leaders. On January 6, 2020, were you supportive of the Presidents incendiary remarks and, by extension, him; or do you stand for the Rule of Law, our Federal and State Constitutions, and the real Republican Party ideals which were on clear display before 2015. If you don’t like the answer you get, I hope that you will consider becoming a candidate for Republican Committeeperson. Our party must decide, are we with the 45th President or not. Only then, I believe, we will be able to relay the foundational stones of the Republican Party, one that I hope to be proud of again. If we can’t make an elegant transition to better government in the next four years I will turn in my lifelong Republican credentials.)
