Needless-to-say, by reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, voters in my neighborhood, voters

County, and voters in Illinois can see how the Milton Township Republican
Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois
Republican Party (IRP), Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois
treats those like me who support the IRP platform. Previously, by reading
GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, they could see how TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois,
Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American
Association of Political Consultants treated those like me who support the IRP
platform.)
