GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Past and present candidates and elected officials who spoke at Milton
Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) outstanding meeting Wednesday
evening, May 8, 2019, at the Wheaton Bowl Banquet Hall included Bucholz, Ives,
Jorgensen, Kachiroubas, Keller, Larsen, LeVan, Molitor, Monino, Sanguinetti,
and Whelan. DuPage County Recorder Fred Bucholz announced that he was not
running again and endorsed Babette Holder for the position. Meeting attendees
included Almiron, Bohn, Carlson, Caruso, Cooper, Crane, Dangelo, Elliott,
Falbo, Fitzpatrick, Galvin, Holder, Jensen, Kinzler, Krzyzewski, Lofgren,
Lollino, McGowen, Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Rash, Ryan, Shaw, Slinger, Smith, and
Tatro. How fast and how far have the organizations that you are a member of
moved to the left? I should write a book about how fast and how far the
Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and the
MTRCC have moved to the left. 10 years ago, I easily got the MTRCC to pass a
resolution against video gambling. Today, I doubt that I could get the MTRCC to
pass a resolution against recreational pot. – Dave Diersen

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Too many articles? My critics/opponents say that GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails
contain links to too many articles. The articles that they want me to cut are
those which a) promote Trump, b) promote the traditional family, right to life,
immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or
gender based preference giving) planks in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP)
platform and the Republican Party platform, and/or c) promote the Milton
Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) resolution against video
gambling. The only articles that they want you to see are those that the IRP,
DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and MTRCC officers approve of. They
want you to a) spend all your time on their websites and Facebook and b) spend
none of your time reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. They demonize, denigrate, and
condemn the format that I use for GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails. – Dave Diersen

NAPERVILLE COMMUNITY TV
— City Council Discusses Recreational Marijuana (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say,
each and every mayor and each and every city council member in Illinois and
each and every candidate for the aforesaid positions should state on the record
that they will vote to pass ordinances a) to “opt out” of the retail sale of
pot and b) to impose zoning restrictions on the commercial growing of pot. The
Wheaton City Council is seeking applicants for city’s vacant North District
City Council position. Applicants are asked to submit a statement identifying
the three most important issues that they believe the city needs to address in
the next two years as well as their opinion on how those issues could be
addressed. Needless-to-say, applicants should state that discouraging pot usage
is one of Wheaton’s most important issues. According to Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller,
“Dude, I got news for you: Cannabis is already in your neighborhood. Your
neighbors are consuming it, perhaps even right this moment. And most of your
neighbors want it legalized.” SEE: https://capitolfax.com/2019/05/07/moylan-apparently-doesnt-realize-that-people-use-cannabis-now/)
https://www.nctv17.com/news/council-discusses-recreational-marijuana/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Governor J.B. Pritzker recently introduced a bill that would legalize the sale
and possession of recreational marijuana statewide. And with the Democratic
Party in control of the Illinois House and Senate, Illinois becoming the 11th
state to legalize cannabis is likely. City council discussed what that means
for Naperville at its most recent meeting. “Will we see an increase in crime?
Will we see a decrease in medical calls? What have other similar communities
like ours seen after legalization that we should consider?” asked Councilwoman
Patty Gustin.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
party’s McLean County chairman Steve Suess acknowledged any effort to create a
51st state has little chance of going anywhere, but he said he wants to start a
philosophical debate, something he said the party has succeeded in doing in the
past. “The Libertarian Party has supported cannabis legalization since 1971
when it was formed, and look at where we are now,” Suess said. “The Libertarian
party has supported gender and sexual minority rights since it was founded.
It’s first presidential candidate was openly gay.” Suess said the county’s
libertarians haven’t taken a formal stance on separation, but he endorses it.
He said Illinois’ regional differences are too great to be governed by the same
state legislative body.)
