Now, in his super petty way, he’s calling DeSantis a RINO and suggesting he’s done nothing to make the state the beacon of freedom that it is today. Trump is losing his mind over DeSantis, to the point that he has to smear him and lie about him to attack him.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Supreme Court Seems Wary of Limiting Protections for Social Media Platforms. The case, concerning a law that gives websites immunity for suits based on their users’ posts, has the potential to alter the very structure of the internet.” My critics/opponents are beyond furious that Section 230 limits their ability to sue me. Since 2000, my critics/opponents have blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems. Previously, they blamed me for what I did as a) Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2019, b) chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, c) Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, and d) Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/us/google-supreme-court-youtube.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal law at issue in the case, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, shields online platforms from lawsuits over what their users post and the platforms’ decisions to take content down. Limiting the sweep of the law could expose the platforms to lawsuits claiming they had steered people to posts and videos that promote extremism, advocate violence, harm reputations and cause emotional distress.)

https://www.mediaite.com/politics/gop-mega-donor-and-ex-trump-ambassador-endorses-desantis-dont-like-the-name-calling/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Politico’s Alex Isenstadt wrote on Tuesday that DeSantis’s event will “be scrutinized for which donors attend — including how many of them were once Trump backers who may be looking to defect from the former president to the Florida governor.” Isenstadt noted that DeSantis is currently making all the standard moves a candidate makes before jumping into a presidential race. The governor is about to release a book and is traveling the country to raise his national profile. Additionally, DeSantis has already won over many former Trump donors.)

MERRIAM WEBSTER
— Invitation (COMMENT: One could argue that because the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event was an “invitation-only” event, the following should be fully disclosed: a) who determined who was invited to attend and who was not invited to attend and why, b) which past and present Republican elected officials, party leaders, major donors, etc. who were invited did not attend and why, and c) who determined which reporters were invited to report on the event and who were not invited to report on the event and why. Since 2000, as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I have reported on who attended many such events in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton. I should write a book about my critics/opponents who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the most since 2000 that no one should want to be listed in a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter as having attended an event. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are listed, that information will be viciously used against you. Immediately after my critics/opponents ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service, and my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership, they deleted all my reports on who had attended TAPROOT, MTRO, and ICRC events. Do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I am an operative/dupe for Trump and b) that Trump will destroy not only DeSantis, LaHood, and Hires, but that Trump will destroy each and every person that I listed as having attended the February 20, 2023 DeSantis Elmhurst event. Further, do not be surprised if/when my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that if you attended the event, you are not only not afraid of Trump, but that you are a Trump-hater.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis fired his first shot at The College Board when he rejected an advanced placement African American studies course, saying it pushes a political agenda.

They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. If I had been one or more of the aforesaid, I would not have complained about political affiliation, reverse discrimination, or age discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: She (Haley) suggested to an audience of about 200 that gender education need not begin in schools before middle school, marking a contrast with prospective candidate Ron DeSantis. The Florida governor last year signed legislation forbidding instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity before fourth grade. . .Though several would-be candidates including Trump were in Iowa last year campaigning for midterm candidates, these first impressions at the outset of the GOP presidential primary are important. That’s especially true as many in the GOP wait to see whether DeSantis proceeds with a White House bid.)

Further, my father fought brittle type 1 diabetes from childhood, never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars, and almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills.

I should write a book about that. I would focus on past and present 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 since 2000 and their political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) those who I have sued.

E RELEASES
— Media advisory (COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.

I should write a book about those involved in the event who know me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters very well and who could have and who should have assured that I got a media advisory, but who failed/refused to do so. I would focus on how they treated me at the event. I would focus on those who treated me like they did not want me there. I would focus on those who treated me like I was not a member of the news media. I would focus on those who had their operatives and their dupes a) discourage/stop me from speaking with attendees and b) discouraged/stopped me from speaking with attendees. I would focus on how they have blamed me and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who I have done the most to help elect and to help reelect in my role as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. I would focus on those who curry favor with the Democrat news media by failing/refusing to send me media advisories. I would focus on those who hint/imply/argue/shout that the more that I promote an event, the more protesters show up. I would focus on 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 wrong doing, f) and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on those who not only reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform, but promote reverse discrimination and age discrimination. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.ereleases.com/pr-fuel/press-release-vs-media-advisory/
(FROM THE POSTING: A media advisory alerts the media, in a concise manner, to upcoming events (like a press conference). Think of it like an invitation that answers only the important questions: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. . .The purpose of a media advisory is to announce an upcoming event they may want to attend or cover, such as a press conference, forum, rally, or event to convince them it is worth reporting on. It should be issued 3-5 days in advance of that event. The goal of a media advisory is to give them the information they need to determine whether that event is worth their time to attend, cover, or report on and to convince them to do so.)

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “The top 10 Democratic presidential candidates for 2024.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/19/top-democrats-2024-ranked/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: J.B. Pritzker Few on this list would seem to be telegraphing their presidential desires — at least in a race without Biden — as strongly as the Illinois governor. His recent state of the state address had a decidedly nationalized feel, and he has focused intently on going after the likes of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). “It’s an ideological battle by the right wing, hiding behind a claim that they would protect our children — but whose real intention is to marginalize people and ideas they don’t like,” Pritzker said in the speech this week. “This has been done in the past, and it doesn’t stop with just snuffing out ideas.”)

Who does Pritzker want to win?
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/589315-christian-ziegler-elected-state-chair-for-florida-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Christian Ziegler will lead the Republican Party of Florida into the 2024 elections. The Sarasota County State Committeeman won election to the post Saturday. He faced Leon County GOP Chair Evan Power, prevailing in a vote of 126-100 at the annual meeting held in Orlando. “Florida is the winning model. Let’s show the nation how it’s done!,” asserted the RPOF in a congratulatory tweet. A second RPOF Tweet congratulated Power for being elevated to Vice Chair, suggesting that the party is unified after a close election that was seen by some as a proxy battle between forces loyal to Gov. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to kick off a pro-police tour starting in New York City to speak with law enforcement officers in blue-led cities who feel unsupported. DeSantis will begin the tour Monday morning by speaking with police officers and law enforcement union officials at a diner in red-leaning borough of Staten Island. The governor will then head to Fort Washington, a Philadelphia suburb, and Elmhurst, Illinois, near Chicago, where he will meet with sheriffs, chiefs of police and other local law enforcement officials, his political team told Fox News Digital.)

WFIN
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Tim Scott’s massive war chest could give him head start in 2024 presidential campaign.”
https://wfin.com/fox-political-news/tim-scotts-massive-war-chest-could-give-him-head-start-in-2024-presidential-campaign/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Scott will also attend a South Carolina presidential forum next month alongside former Palmetto State governor and recently announced 2024 candidate Nikki Haley. If Scott, the sole Black Republican in Congress’s upper chamber, chooses to throw his hat into the ring, his large war chest could provide him with a boost out of the gates. Since Haley appointed him to the Senate in 2013, he has grown into a fundraising powerhouse. Scott faced a special election in 2014 and garnered just under $7 million in contributions that cycle. But during his 2022 election, that number skyrocketed to just over $43 million in donations, according to Federal Election Commission records. Scott’s campaign finished the last cycle with nearly $22 million in the bank, which has likely only grown since late December. His campaign could transfer that money into a presidential committee if he chooses to run. Scott’s campaign cash is also more than the $3 million Donald Trump’s committee had in its coffers at the end of the year, which has struggled to raise money since he announced his 2024 candidacy, while his joint fundraising committee reported just under $4 million cash on hand. Trump, however, kicked off his run around the midterm elections, where donor fatigue had likely set in. Some big-money donors have announced they’ll distance themselves from Trump after fueling super PACs backing him. But other deep-pocketed contributors will most likely boost those entities, while his base will help turn around his campaign’s fortunes. However, it’s unlikely he’ll raise the eye-popping figures he once did if others like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis enter the contest.)

— The U.S. Navy lowers its standards yet again – Andrea Widburg (COMMENT: I should write a book about how the Democrats who ran the federal government in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s lowered hiring, retention, and promotion standards to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who were minority and/or female. Because I have always been a conservative Republican, because I am neither a minority nor a female, because I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, and because in 1988 I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, they wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They rendered the following worthless: my CPA license (1981), my six professional certifications (CPA-1979, Internal Auditor-1981, Fraud Examiner-1990, Government Financial Manager-1994, Financial Services Auditor-1996, and Forensic Accountant-1997), my three master’s degrees (business-1976, accounting-1980, and finance-1997), my almost 18 years of experience working for GAO 1980-1997, and my almost 9 years of experience working for IRS 1971-1980.)

What do you say to Democrats who move from Democrat areas to your county, to your township, and/or to your municipality to escape the poverty and crime in Democrat areas, but then continue to vote for Democrats?

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Haley Walks Treacherous Road for G.O.P. Women. Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign is a major test of her party’s views on sexism and female leaders. Just don’t call it identity politics.” I should write a book about Republicans who reject the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and/or Illinois. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

— COMMENT: Democrats ask “Do Law Schools Need the LSAT?” Ever-increasingly, because Democrat minorities and Democrat females do poorly on tests, testing requirements have been eased if not dropped. GAO, IRS, and the Post Office hired me in 1980, 1971, and 1966 respectively because they could not find qualified Democrat minorities or females who would take the jobs. I qualified myself for my GAO job a) by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) by earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and c) by working for IRS for almost 9 years. I qualified myself for my IRS job a) by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination, b) by earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, and c) by working for Firestone Stores for 10 months.

I would focus on those who after they got elected promoted a) dependency on government and charity, b) LGBTQ, c) abortion, d) mass/illegal immigration, e) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, g) patronage, h) political affiliation discrimination, i) reverse discrimination, and/or j) age discrimination.

NPR
— COMMENT: Democrats acknowledge that “Many voters think Biden is too old for a second term” but say “The White House isn’t worried.” Who has deemed you to be too old to do what? My Democrat superiors in the federal government deemed their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran to be too old to be promoted again, and therefore, to be “failed,” if they did not make GS-13 (currently $109,732/year) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $129,671/year) by age 30, GS-15 ($152,527) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($183,500) by age 40. It is called up-or-out, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. In that book, I would report what they were earning per year in today’s dollars when they were 25, 30, 35, and 40. I earned a) $92,279/year (GS-12 Step 1) in today’s dollars when I was 25, b) $104,583/year (GS-12 Step 5) when I was 30 and 35, and c) $117,047/year (GS-13 Step 3) when I was 40. I would report their education: college graduated from, year graduated, degree earned, and major. I would report any professional certifications and/or licenses that they earned. I would focus on my critics/opponents who have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me the most as being “failed” and/or who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.

I would report what they were earning per year in today’s dollars when they were 25, 30, 35, and 40.

I would report their education: college graduated from, year graduated, degree earned, and major. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I would report any professional certifications and/or licenses that they earned. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

DAILY HERALD
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Batavia school board candidates discuss equity, student mental health.” If I was still the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and a member of the Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee, those organizations would still be hosting candidate forums. QUESTION: What do hate-filled conservative-hating Republican leaders NOT want school board candidates to promise to do if elected? ANSWER: To slow down if not stop indoctrination, grooming, and the promotion of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms, that is, to slow down if not stop the promotion of a) LGBTQ, sexual activity, and abortion, that is, the destruction of traditional marriage and the destruction of the traditional family; b) CRT, 1619, BLM, wokeness/wokeism, identity politics, victimhood, reparations, etc., that is, race and gender based preference giving, that is, Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, that is, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination; c) mass/illegal immigration, that is, replacing those who have demographics that vote for Republicans with those who have demographics that vote for Democrats; d) abolition of the First and Second Amendments; e) unions and unionization; f) dependency on government and on charity, that is, the end of individual responsibility and liberty, that is, socialism, communism, and dictatorship; g) hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are heterosexual, conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, parents, gun-owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestor have been in America for a long time; h) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices; i) outlawing of gasoline-powered vehicles and lawn mowers, gas stoves, etc.; and j) the rest of the Democrat, Libertarian, and Green party platforms. Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, and RINO teachers deny that they do any the aforesaid, but not always. See what a Crete-Monee High School teacher recently said at: https://fox17.com/news/nation-world/i-am-in-fact-indoctrinating-your-children-teachers-accused-of-politicizing-classrooms She said “All you right wing conspiracy theory nut jobs who seem to think the teachers are out here just indoctrinating children into some sort of woke agenda that you can’t actually define.” and “I’m just going to come clean.

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3851835-how-desantis-built-a-conservative-following-on-education/
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Mandela Barnes launching PAC to help elect Democrats who struggle to attract establishment support.” Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. I should write a book about the Republican establishment in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township. The more planks in the Republican Party platform that Republican candidates in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton support, the less support that they get from the Republican establishment in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township. Ever-increasingly, the Republican establishment in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township is anti-conservative.

— COMMENT: Democrats say “South Carolina GOP seeks control of Greenville County Republican party reorganization.” In Illinois, ever-increasingly, anti-conservative RINOs control the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO). Ever-increasingly, they demonize, denigrate, and condemn conservatives, that is, platform Republicans, that is, Republicans, as being “too conservative” and force them out of the IRP, DCRCC, and MTRO. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
https://www.postandcourier.com/greenville/politics/sc-gop-seeks-control-of-greenville-county-republican-party-reorganization/article_d69230d4-a980-11ed-bfad-07252a908932.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A year and a half after an insurgent “MAGA” movement took over the Greenville County Republican Party, the South Carolina GOP apparatus at odds with the group is planning to seize control of the county party’s upcoming local organizational efforts. The South Carolina Republican Party’s executive director, Hope Walker, said the move is rooted in concern that leadership of the county party has alienated mainline Republican voters that state leaders want to attract as they look to the 2024 election cycle. Jeff Davis, chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party, called the state’s intervention a “tyrannical” power grab using dirty tricks to find any justification to seize control. It’s the latest expansion of what has been an acrid rift along the fault line of perceived loyalty to former president Donald Trump and lingering grievances over the 2020 election. Next month, the party will conduct its precinct reorganization, a biennial effort that culminates in a county convention. It’s a vital fundraiser with pomp and circumstance, with the aim of recruiting and mobilization. “Everything will run through the state party,” Walker told The Post and Courier. “The convention is supposed to be a fun and inviting time. We want as many people as we can to get involved and not be turned off. We don’t want that to be a deterrent for someone to get involved.” The county party’s current leadership managed in summer 2021 to oust a state party-friendly governance that had been elected a few months before — an election that Davis said was proven to be rigged by “RINOs,” short for “Republicans In Name Only.” “I think they want the opportunity to cheat again,” Davis told The Post and Courier regarding the state party’s move to take over reorganization. “They did it just to try to throw a monkey wrench.” On Feb. 2, the state party’s Rules Committee voted to recommend that the State Executive Committee vote to take over Greenville County’s reorganization and convention, according to a Feb. 4 memo formalizing the recommendation and endorsed by 13 members from across the state. State party leaders accused the county party of, among other alleged violations, conducting chaotic and sometimes violent meetings without proper quorums that have created a steady member exodus. Added to that, they said, is the county party’s opposition to successful Republican candidates that back the former president. The result in part led to the creation of the Fourth District Republican Club, a group representing more-mainstream Republicans which has hosted the likes of former 4th District congressman Jim DeMint and former presidential candidate Ben Carson. In December 2021, the State Executive Committee had Davis escorted from its meeting and banned him from future attendance. However, Davis told The Post and Courier that the county party’s leadership was unaware of any rules violations and repeatedly sought clarification from the state party dating back to November, only to be stonewalled. “This was just a surprise,” Davis said. “They never told or sent any communication that we were breaking any rules.” In a Feb. 8 letter to Walker, the county party asked for specifics on how the state party would assist in the reorganization effort. It inquired about funding and providing 3,000 necessary reorganization forms that county leaders said have been distributed to other counties. Davis said he believes establishment Republicans want to enlist voices that align with like-minded GOP politicians, whereas he would attract a crowd of 3,000 with an “America first” slate. Davis pointed to the county party’s successful effort in electing its preferred members to the Greenville County School Board. “I think they’re real nervous about our convention,” Davis said, adding that the takeover also is rooted in concern that he will run for the state chairman position. Meanwhile, Walker said state leadership is forging ahead with planning Greenville County’s effort. “Right now, we are working on venue dates and locations for what the process will look like in Greenville,” Walker said. The divide began in the weeks following Trump’s November 2020 loss to President Joe Biden and unproven claims of widespread voter fraud. Powered by the conspiracy theory, more people began to attend county party meetings in greater numbers, facilitated by a group Davis and others started, MySCGOP. It happened just as the party conducted that year’s reorganization. In April 2021, a three-person slate of candidates backed by traditional party leaders was elected to lead the county apparatus, a vote conducted virtually because of the pandemic and before widespread distribution of vaccines. A faction billing itself as the “MAGA slate” objected and claimed a rigged process. That group met in a Greenville hotel ballroom that day and submitted paper ballots. The MAGA slate lost in a close race, but come summer the insurgent group applied enough pressure to prompt the leadership’s resignations. That’s when Davis came into power, along with state executive committeeman Pressley Stutts, who a month later died due to COVID-19. Throughout the course of the year, the county party led protests against vaccine mandates, acceptance of election results, detainment of some of those accused of participating in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and a host of other far-right issues. The county party at one point changed the party logo to feature Trump’s signature swooping, orange combover. It isn’t the only intraparty conflagration in South Carolina. In September, five members of the Horry County Republican Party abruptly resigned. Billing themselves as “America First Patriots” — mostly aligning with the beliefs of the current Greenville County party leadership — the Horry County leaders cited harassment and “backhanded” political tactics by the state party to undermine them. The resignations came after a September State Executive Committee meeting, which voted to condemn and remove perks from the members of the committee who, using false allegations, attempted to stall the reconvening of the 2021 State Republican Convention.)

A new report makes clear the ultimate goal: tiny, uncomfortable apartments and bicycles for all. – Allysia Finley (COMMENT: I have owned gasoline-powers cars since I was 16 in 1964. I should write a book about the ever-increasingly hatred that Democrats promote against non-elect vehicles and their owners, and especially against those who recently bought gasoline-powered vehicles. I recently bought a used 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT daily driver, a new 2021 Chevrolet Malibu Premier in 2021, a new 2019 Ford Escape Titanium in 2019, a new 2016 Ford Mustang in 2016, a new 2013 Dodge Charger R/T in 2012, a used 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS in 2010, a new 2005 Chevrolet Corvette in 2005, a new 1996 Ford Thunderbird LX in 1995, and a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. I continue to own all of the aforesaid except the Cavalier which I traded-in for the Cruze. Ever-increasingly, a major factor that motivated me to buy the aforesaid vehicles is that more and more and more gasoline-powered makes and models are being discontinued.)

— Here Comes the 60-Year Career. As people live longer, healthier lives, the traditional 40-year career will become a thing of the past. But that’s going to require a new mind-set—and a lot more planning. – Carol Hymowitz (COMMENT: How long is/was your career? Government is nasty/vicious. Politics is nasty/vicious. My Democrat GAO superiors ended my almost 18-year career with GAO in 1997 when was I was 49 years old when they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.” Constructively, that rendered me unemployable and rendered my GAO work experience worthless, my six job-related professional certifications worthless, my job-related professional license worthless, and my three job-related master’s degrees worthless. But even worse than that, it gave my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes tremendous ammunition to use against me. For example, to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at its annual convention in Wheaton in 2006, they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that GAO forced me to retire because I was an extremely bad person. They completely rejected that my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire because I was an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discriminations, and retaliation. SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf I should write a book about the aforesaid and about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes.

Ron DeSantis a RINO and raising questions about his past — efforts that DeSantis describes as a smear.” I should write a book about those who smear me the most as being “too conservative.”

NEW YORK TIMES
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats lower job requirements because Democrats who are minority and/or female fail/refuse to earn college degrees, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses. My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government were furious when I did what they failed/refused to do. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I earned job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I earned job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I earned a job-related professional license in 1981. Ever-increasingly, my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me a) had less job-related education than I had, b) had fewer job-related professional certifications than I had, and/or c) had no professional licenses.

BLOOMBERG
— COMMEMT: Democrats say “DeSantis Chides Trump as Republicans’ 2024 Presidential Race Heats Up. Florida governor hits back after attacks by former president.

FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
— Understanding ways to support federal candidates (COMMENT: If you were me, how would you deal with my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) to stop everyone from reading my newsletters? They hint/imply/argue/shout at Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct a) that me and my newsletters are far too conservative and b) that the more that I do to help elect/reelect them, the more votes that they lose. They blame me and blame my newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. Currently, a big measure of the success that my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes are having in destroying me is Republican candidates on the April 4, 2023 ballot in my precinct who act like they do not want me to help elect them.)

https://www.theepochtimes.com/immigration-reform-group-calls-on-mccarthy-to-get-border-security-bill-onto-house-floor_5035800.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Until we have a mandatory workforce verification system–like E-Verify–in place, immigrants will have an incentive to come into our country through illegal means. We want and need immigrants to come to our nation to contribute to our economic success, but we must also remain a sovereign nation governed by the rule of law.” Chmielenski said Calvert’s proposed Legal Workforce Act has “actually been endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Restaurant Association, and National Home Builders Association. These are organizations that tend to oppose additional mandates on employers.” Right now, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 22 states impose some form of “mandatory E-Verify rather than just requiring I-9,” he said, which puts the onus on employers to “become document experts. E-Verify is a touchy subject in the states but [mandatory E-Verify] would replace a patchwork of laws from state-to-state and go a long way” to addressing the nation’s immigration issues.)

Ban assault weapons now.” On their way to abolishing the Second Amendment, Democrats want to register all semiautomatic firearms, then ban all semiautomatic firearms, than register all firearms, then ban all firearms, then confiscate all firearms from non-Democrats starting with non-Democrats who are heterosexual, conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, homeowners, married, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

NORTHERN STAR
— COMMENT: Democrat say “Student Government Association proposed petition criticizes NIU’s efforts at inclusion.” NIU let me transfer from UIC in 1969 when I was 20 years old, but because of my bad demographics, if I was 20 years old today, I doubt that NIU would let me do that today. I am White, male, heterosexual, conservative, Republican, non-poor, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German national origin, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844. Factors that encouraged NIU to let me transfer included I was a federal employee (Park Forest Post Office), a union member, draft avoider, and I had not been active in Republican politics at Crete-Monee High School or at UIC.
https://northernstar.info/103019/news/sga-petition-criticizes-nius-efforts-at-inclusion/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amid growing concerns of what it’s calling NIU’s inactivity toward racism and lack of diversity on campus, the Student Government Association has proposed a petition to shed light on student concerns. The proposed petition was co-authored by Historian Atlas Babcock and Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Olivia Newman and was developed in collaboration with feedback from Black student organizations on campus. The petition proposed highlights three issues with the university raised by students: “A lack of diversity and representation in campus staff and administration,” “performative activism” and “lack of long-term community support.” Among examples of student complaints are over-policing at Black events, a lack of Black representation among administration and staff, failure to provide upkeep to the BLM mural and more. Much of the discussion around the proposed petition centered on the university’s handling of inclusion in the past and what the SGA wants NIU to do going forward.)

DAILY EASTERN NEWS
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs attribute all the successes that White males have to their benefitting from discrimination against minorities and against females. While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, my superiors were always under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to give preference to their Democrat employees, and especially to those who were minority, female, and/or younger. If I had been a Democrat a minority and/or a female, my Democrat superiors would have promoted me into their Senior Executive Service, currently $183,500/year, long before I was 40 in 1988. I earned an MBA from Loyola when I was 27. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt when I was 30. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul when I was 31. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in when I was 32. I became a licensed CPA when I was 32. Because I was not a Democrat, a minority, or a female, a) IRS did not promote me beyond GS-12, Step 5, currently $104,583/year, and b) GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year pay cut in today’s dollars, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, currently $82,720/year, to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, did not promote me beyond GS-13 Step 1, currently $109,732/year, until I was 38, and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would cite my many Democrat coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me who had a) less job-related work experience than I had, b) less job-related education than I had, c) fewer job-related professional certifications than I had, and/or d) had no job-related professional license.

This is a win for Mark and the entire pro-life movement. The Biden Department of Justice’s intimidation against pro-life people and people of faith has been put in its place,” said Breen.)

WASHINGTON POST
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Biden faced GOP jeers.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/07/takeaways-state-of-the-union/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 3. A jeer-filled affair It’s been 14 years since a Republican member of Congress appeared to cross a threshold by yelling “You lie” at Barack Obama during a speech to a joint session of Congress. Tuesday’s speech marked the continued trend toward partisan raucousness during what was once a much more staid affair. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), perhaps predictably, repeated Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C.) outburst from 2009 when Biden brought up Medicare and Social Security. (It’s worth noting that Biden qualified his comments about Republican support for Scott’s plan by emphasizing: “I’m not saying it’s a majority,” but he was jeered anyway. McCarthy shook his head while seated behind Biden.) Biden responded to all this by suggesting it was an important moment, with Republicans so loudly taking issue with the idea that they would target entitlements: “I’m glad to see — you know, I enjoy conversion. When Biden brought up fentanyl deaths, he was met with a response of: “It’s your fault!” Republicans also took exception to his comments about other issues, including gun control and the border. The latter instance elicited a notable response from McCarthy: While he sat stone-faced for much of the speech, the GOP outcry drew a demonstrative blink from the House speaker, who shushed his conference. McCarthy earlier Tuesday had promised no “childish” games, specifically citing then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) having ripped up a copy of Trump’s speech after the 2020 State of the Union address. And as the speech wore on, we got a sense for why, perhaps, it got so contentious. In contrast to McCarthy’s shushing, Trump on Truth Social attacked “RINO” — Republican in Name Only — party members for “jumping up and down with applause for the wrong reasons!”)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Illinois CPA Society Accepting Scholarship Applications.” If you did not get college scholarships, why was that? Because I worked as many hours as I could for the Park Forest Post Office while I attended UIC and NIU, a) my GPA was harmed, b) I was not in financial need, and c) I could not demonstrate any leadership qualities. Further, sports scholarships were out because while I could stand and walk, I could not run far at all because of a bone disease that I had.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Illinois is much less affordable than the other Midwest states,” Gonzalez told The Center Square. “In general, it costs more to retire in Illinois than it does in most other states in the country.” Despite Illinois not taxing retirement income, general tax policy and lack of taxpayer friendliness were the main factors in Illinois’ low ranking, Gonzalez said. “Taxes are a huge part of why Illinois loses out to other states like Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Nebraska,” she said. “Special tax breaks for seniors and tax policy for retirement income just aren’t there in Illinois.” High sales taxes, high property taxes and high inheritance taxes are among the main reasons why Illinois came in 47th for affordability, she said.)

The law allows people who owned assault weapons or high-capacity magazines before the law was passed to keep them — but only if they register their weapons with the Illinois State Police. This law is unconstitutional and violates both the Second and Fifth Amendments. Fortunately, a judge in Illinois has issued a temporary restraining order , preventing the implementation of the law — but only for the plaintiffs of the case that were before the judge.

DAILY SIGNAL
— Race Everywhere in Today’s America – Victor Davis Hanson
https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/02/03/race-everywhere-in-todays-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In sum, class, not race, remains the best litmus test of being underprivileged in America. It is no longer synonymous with race. No wonder the identity politics industry now strains to attach prefixes such as “systemic” or “implicit” to “racism,” or “micro” to “aggression,” purportedly to ferret out bias that otherwise is not apparent. Pause to reflect that America is the only successful multiracial constitutional republic in history. To survive in an increasingly dysfunctional and hostile world abroad, the unique idea of the United States requires concord. But national cohesion is only possible through citizens subordinating their tribal interests to a common culture. Only then do they cease being automatons of warring tribes and collectives. As the world becomes ever scarier, Americans must—as Benjamin Franklin once warned—hang together, or most certainly they will soon all hang separately.)

Ever-increasingly, Democrats join up with America’s enemies to win their Second Civil War and get rid of Republicans once and for all.

McCarthy pointed out that slavery, defended by Southern Democrats, was the issue that brought about the Civil War.

He suggested that the statues remind the Democratic Party’s true history. “If I was a Democrat, I wouldn’t be proud of their legacy, I wouldn’t be proud of their history, and I would want to change it, ” said McCarthy. “There’s not one Republican you have to take down.”)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “Freshman Rep. Delia Ramirez to give progressive response to State of the Union.” Who represents you in Congress? Things have gotten much worse for me congressionally. Democrat Ramirez currently represents me in congress. GAO works for Congress. In 1989, Republican Henry Hyde represented me. In 1989, he came to my defense against my Democrat GAO superiors. They had retaliated against me big time because in 1988 I had become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. They had a) thrown me off audits of IRS, b) given me an adverse job assignment, c) given me unfair performance expectations, d) turned my subordinates against me, e) given me an unfair performance appraisal, and f) ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. Previously, they had a) kept me off audits of IRS 1980-1985, b) delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and c) forced me to take a $21,863 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, to GS-9 Step 10. After Hyde came to my defense, my Democrat GAO superiors’ retaliation against me diminished somewhat. But eight years later, they forced me to take their early retirement “offer.”

— Millennials and Money: 5 Simple Ways To Get Ahead of Your Peers Financially – HEATHER TAYLOR (COMMENT: What helped you get ahead financially? I earned job-related college degrees when I was 21, 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. I always spent far less on immediate pleasures than my peers. Instead of renting, I bought a new town home in 1972 and condos in 1974 and 1976. My wife and I got married in 1978. We both worked, but in anticipation of having children, we spent money like we had only one paycheck. We always saved as much as we could for our retirement. Instead of renting, we bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and we had one built in Wheaton in 1984. But according to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I got ahead financially, because I avoided the draft. Because I benefitted from discrimination against minorities, females, younger people, LGBTQers, renters, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Because the federal government grossly overpaid me. Because of my wife’s income. Because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. Because my federal pension and health, dental, and vision insurance subsidies are far too generous. What do you think?)

That included Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois, the chair of the Judiciary Committee, who won an ovation for his speech in opposition to the proposal. “I just can’t be an accessory to the dumbing down of democracy,” Hyde told his colleagues.)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Bailey: ‘To come here into Illinois and to add the FOID card, and to continue to add these restrictions, that’s an infringement’
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/639054534-bailey-to-come-here-into-illinois-and-to-add-the-foid-card-and-to-continue-to-add-these-restrictions-that-s-an-infringement
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Sen. Darren Bailey is among the growing list of lawmakers to come out against new legislation. According to KSKD, DuPage County Sheriff Jim Mendrick, the top law enforcement officer in the state’s second-largest county, is also among law enforcement officials who have declared they will not be enforcing the law, branding it as facing “a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” In a recent Facebook post, Bailey expressed that background checks for firearms make sense. However, additional restrictions are not necessary. “We can say, alright, ‘Shall not be infringed,’ but yet we understand that sometimes these guns fall into the hands of the wrong person. So we have the federal, you know, firearm background check. That’s exactly what it does, and I don’t see anyone arguing that. But to come here into Illinois and to add the FOID card, and to continue to add these restrictions, that’s an infringement,” Bailey said in a Facebook post. Illinois state residents will be informed further on the new law for firearms once it is fully enforced. Under the terms of the new law, residents will be allowed to keep guns they have already purchased or obtained, along with newly relocated residents being eligible to apply for a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card within 60 days of making the state their new home. Illinois State Police are writing new administrative rules to explain how to enforce the assault weapons ban, with The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) being the final voice in determining what rules are officially adopted before state police eventually circulate them to other law enforcement agencies across the state.)

ILLINOIS STATE POLICE
— FAQS: QUESTION: Do Illinois residents have to register their AR or assault weapons as defined by the new law? ANSWER: Yes. In the coming months, more detailed information will be made available on how to register the firearm. At this time, you cannot submit an affidavit for registration. The endorsement affidavit will be available by October 1, 2023 and must be signed under oath and submitted to the ISP prior to January 1, 2024.

CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— DuPage County sheriff says he is not changing stance on enforcing the gun ban – Andrew Hensel (COMMENT: While I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years (GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969), while I did increasingly object to their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination, I never even came close to even hinting that I would not enforce their Affirmative Action (AA), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) requirements. In fact, I enforced their AA and DEI requirements big time. To comply with their AA and DEI requirements, I gave tremendous preference to my subordinates who were Democrat, minority, female, younger, veteran, disabled, non-Christion, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. Most of my subordinates were most of the aforesaid. But my aforesaid tremendous preference giving was still not enough for my Democrat superiors. I should write a book about the aforesaid. I would focus on the tremendous preference that I gave my Black GAO CPA subordinate who my Democrat GAO superiors gave my job and my preferred corner office to after they forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

I worked in Cook County 1964-1997. I worked in Chicago Heights 1964-1966 washing dishes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline. I worked in Flossmoor in 1966 cleaning golf shoes. I worked in Park Forest 1966-1969 delivering mail. I worked in Chicago Heights 1970-1972 selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances and pumping gasoline.

I worked at 63rd and Halsted in Chicago in 1973 collecting delinquent taxes. I worked in downtown Chicago auditing federal agencies 1980-1997. I lived in downtown Chicago part-time 1974-1976 and full-time 1976-1978. In 1978, I got married. My wife and I used her savings for the downpayment on a home in Wheaton, I sold my one bedroom Outer Drive East condo for $61,000, and with the $10,000 gain, I bought a new 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale for $6,000 and a new 1978 Chevrolet Chevette for $4,000 in Glen Ellyn. My wife worked in Cook County 1968-2003 and 2014-2017.

I had a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, and d) earned a high school diploma in 1966. By 1980, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years. By 1971, I had worked for Firestone Stores for 10 months. I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970. I had passed the Post Office employment examination in 1966.

BURR RIDGE PATCH
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Burr Ridge To Enforce New Gun Law: Officials. The police chief described how the registration requirement would be enforced.” (COMMENT: Under the law, assault weapons do not have to be registered until January 1, 2024. Exactly what will Grasso and Madden do now if they see someone in Burr Ridge with an assault weapon? Will they demand to see their FOID card? What else?)
https://patch.com/illinois/burrridge/burr-ridge-enforce-new-gun-law-officials
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But he said officers called onto private property for unrelated matters would take action if unregistered weapons are in view. “I have been asked if this bill is a violation of the Constitution. That’s for the courts to decide,” Madden said. Mayor Gary Grasso agreed with the chief’s approach. “The point being is that the village will not turn a blind eye to the necessary enforcement of this law,” the mayor said. “Like all laws, the chief and officers will enforce them.” He said he wanted to make it clear where the village stands on the issue. “We follow the law and will let the courts decide on the propriety of the law,” Grasso said. The law is being challenged in the courts. Under its provisions, residents with “assault” weapons must register them starting Oct. 1. They have until Jan. 1 to do so.)
— COMMENT: Democrats say “Durkin Seat Hopefuls Kept Secret For Now. Parts of La Grange, Western Springs, Burr Ridge and Hinsdale are in the district.” Conservatives fear that another hate-filled conservative-hater will be selected to fill the seat. I should write a book about the biggest hate-filled conservative-hating Republican party leaders, elected officials, major donors, etc. in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2000.)
https://patch.com/illinois/burrridge/durkin-seat-hopefuls-kept-secret-now
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two Republicans have applied for the state House seat left vacant by Rep. Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, a party leader confirmed Thursday. But the leader declined to release the names. In a message to Patch, DuPage County Republican Party Chairman Jim Zay said the selection committee plans to meet Thursday night about the candidates for 82nd District state representative. He said the names would not be released until after that meeting, saying the committee would need to talk to all its members about it. Both Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso and Willow Springs Village President Melissa Neddermeyer have confirmed to Patch that they did not apply. Democrats and Republicans have no legal requirement to disclose the names of candidates who apply for legislative posts left vacant by party members. In fact, the parties have been known to keep the information under wraps. The 82nd District includes all or parts of Western Springs, La Grange, Hinsdale and Burr Ridge, among other towns. Durkin, who resigned last month, was the House Republican leader. In Illinois, a state representative’s district consists of about 105,000 people. Republicans plan to hold a public meeting involving interviews of “select” candidates, according to a party news release. The meeting is set for 10 a.m. Saturday at the House Republican Organization office at 16W281 83rd St., Suite D, in Burr Ridge. Interested Republicans must have lived in the district for the last two years. For more information, call 217-553-7743 or email jaymesiemer@gmail.com.)

Democrats promote hatred against Republicans.

— COMMENT: Democrats ask “Does the IRS audit some people more often than others?” IRS can use court decisions to disallow just about any deduction that it wants to. My 1972-1980 and 1992-1997 federal income tax returns show that I paid less tax because I deducted my education expenses. In 1978, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my education deductions to punish me because I increasingly complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. They outrageously, disgustingly, and unethically argued that the graduate business courses that I took at Loyola 1972-1976 and the graduate accounting courses that I took at DePaul 1976-1977 and deducted a) did not relate to my IRS Revenue Officer job duties, b) did not help me carry out those duties, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, d) were taken by me to qualify myself for a new trade or business, and d) were a distraction. They ignored a) my IRS Revenue Office position description, b) my graduate school applications, and c) the fact that IRS encourages its Revenue Officers to take the courses that I took.)

— LGBTQ+ ‘Pride’ Is Totalitarian. That is why the Left chose the word “pride” and not “tolerance”—“pride” is about thought. And totalitarianism controls thought as well as speech. – Dennis Prager (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, LGBTQ-promoters destroy those who do not promote LGBTQ. I should write a book about the biggest past and present LGBTQ-promoting leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization since 2000. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)

— Netanyahu Gets It Right on Guns, US Should Follow His Lead – Michael Dorstewitz (COMMENT: The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. To vote for Democrats is to increase poverty and crime. As crime increases, more and more and more concealed carry permits are needed.)
https://www.newsmax.com/michaeldorstewitz/israel-mass-shootings-second-amendment/2023/02/01/id/1106851/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a better idea. He announced over the weekend what the Jewish state’s response would be. “In addition, we’re expanding and accelerating gun licensing to thousands of licensed citizens, including first responders. This will allow citizens to save lives,” he said on his official Facebook page. “When civilians have guns, they can defend themselves,” agreed Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israeli national security minister. Itzik Chiprout, chairman of the Israeli Legal Weapon Association, also thought this was an excellent move. “The police cannot be everywhere,” said Chiprout. “Even a swift police reaction is sometimes not enough. Civilians that are armed save lives.”)

— COMMENT: Democrats ask “Are Censures of Politicians a Form of Free Speech or a Threat to It?” Who blames you and for what? I should write a book about my “religious” and “conservative” and “Republican” critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who tried hard but failed to get the Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters at ICRC’s annual convention in Wheaton in 2006. They blamed me and they blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Bill Brady losing the Republican gubernatorial primary that year. Previously, they blamed me and blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Jim Ryan losing to Blagojevich in 2002. They succeeded in throwing me off ICRC’s Steering Committee in 2007. In my book, I would focus on Ryan’s and Brady’s major donors, political consultants, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers. I would focus on the many adverse actions that the aforesaid have taken against me since 2002. I would focus on the many things that I did a) to help elect Ryan in the 2002 general gubernatorial election and b) to help elect Brady in the 2010 general gubernatorial election.)
