— Opt Out Hosts a Rally to Prevent the Selling of Marijuana – Aysha Ashley (DIERSEN: The many outstanding speakers at this outstanding event included Coyne, Gustin, and McCluskey. The many attendees included Anderson, Klaeren, Leong, Prueter, Rudolph, and Ruhl.)
https://www.nctv17.com/news/opt-out-hosts-a-rally-to-prevent-legalizing-marijuana/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “No” to Selling Recreational Marijuana  Opt Out Naperville, a newly formed resident group, hosted a rally with around 300 people at Central Park to urge City Council to vote “no” on selling recreational marijuana. “If they are not willing to opt out permanently, then let’s opt out and then send a referendum vote to the people and let the people decide what they want here,” said Jennifer Bruzan Taylor, organizer of the rally. “We have nine people on the dais at city council. This decision will shape the entire community, the future of it.” Council Members And it’s the future generation that some council members are concerned about. “We want to send a message to our young people. Our young people need our leadership. We had two young men from the high school level come and speak in front of the city council and they’re speech was all about opting out. And we as City Council need to be leaders and I think we should be,” said Councilwoman Patty Gustin. The Speakers Two high school students joined the multiple speakers who were there including a doctor, community youth pastor, and a recovered marijuana user. “I came from a really solid family, I came from good morals, good convictions. And I spent the next almost 18 years of my life chasing recovery because of the very first time I smoked marijuana,” said speaker Nick Gore. . .Opt Out But in the local society, others do not want this to happen. “I don’t think people want to come to the Thursday night band show concerts in the summer with the smell of marijuana in the air. I don’t think we want to go to the parks and bring our children with the smell of marijuana in the air,” said attendee Joan Dupre. Opt Out Naperville plans to attend Tuesday’s City Council meeting.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190831/rally-urges-naperville-to-opt-out-of-legalized-marijuana-sales
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Close to 200 Naperville residents opposed to the possibility of the city eventually allowing the sale of recreational marijuana held a rally downtown Saturday urging city officials to “opt out.” “Naperville has built its reputation over the years as a family friendly community,” said Jennifer Bruzan Taylor, one of the rally’s organizers. “There is nothing family friendly about marijuana.” Speakers at the rally included doctors, city council members, parents and community organizers who said the city would see a rise in crime, drug use by youths and mental health problems if recreational sales of marijuana were allowed. “We’ve heard from expert after expert you get expanded drug use, especially among young people, in communities that allow marijuana sales,” said Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190831/inclusion-or-indoctrination-how-opposing-sides-view-teaching-lgbtq-history-in-schools
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “The foundational issue is the leftist presuppositions about the nature and morality of homosexual activity,” said Laurie Higgins, cultural issues writer for the Illinois Family Institute. “The left relies on the assumption that homosexuality and opposite-sex identification are analogous to race, which is absurd. This is when education is transformed into indoctrination.” Higgins said the law is problematic because it doesn’t specify when LGBTQ history can be taught. The group vehemently opposes teaching such material in elementary schools. “If kids can’t understand the foundational assumptions, it is age-inappropriate,” she said. “It would be acceptable, if the teachers agreed to spend equal time on having students study the best resources on both sides of the (LGBTQ) debate in high school.”)

So therefore, I have never been a lobbyist and I am not a lobbyist. But outrageously, DuPage County treats like I am a paid lobbyist to justify its interfering with my functioning as a member of the media.) 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying#United_States
(FROM THE POSTING: Lobbying in the United States describes paid activity in which special interests hire well-connected professional advocates, often lawyers, to argue for specific legislation in decision-making bodies such as the United States Congress.)

They insist that booze be served at all MTRCC meetings and events. They viciously destroy those like me who do not promote booze big time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A federal survey shows nearly 67 million Americans binge drink at least monthly, meaning women down four drinks during a single occasion, men five. Midwestern states have some of the highest binge-drinking rates in terms of both prevalence and intensity, putting millions of people at risk. Research links excessive alcohol use to fatty liver, cirrhosis and cancers of the breast, liver, colon, mouth and throat as well as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, dementia, anxiety and depression. Nearly half of murders involve alcohol, according to studies. Drinking kills about 88,000 people annually, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. Such diseases and social ills cost the nation an estimated $249 billion a year. Even one drink a day is unhealthy, said Dr. Sarah Hartz, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis. “If you’re going to drink, know it’s not good for you.”)

ALTON DAILY NEWS
— Parties Set up Political Agenda – Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: From what I see, the political agenda of the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), and therefore, the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Milton Township Republican Central Committee is to a) bash Democrats, b) ignore/downplay/dismiss the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the IRP and Republican Party platforms, and c) get rid of Republicans like me who promote the aforesaid planks.)

Better yet, I should sue them. Ever-increasingly, they falsely, despairingly, and slanderously hint/imply/argue/shout that I harass people.

They stress that I have lived in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton only since 1978. They stress that I have been a Republican Precinct Committeeman only since 1999.

They stress that they almost got ICRC to censure me in 2006. They stress that they crushed me when I sought the open MTRCC Treasurer office in 2004.)

— Capitalism and liberty are essential for prosperity – Ken Calvert
https://www.ocregister.com/2019/08/08/capitalism-and-liberty-are-essential-for-prosperity-ken-calvert/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As most people know, nothing in life is free, and neither is a massive expansion of government programs. Don’t let socialists fool you — we cannot pay for their programs with just a tax hike on the wealthiest Americans. To cover the costs of the government they dream of, we’d need to impose huge tax increases on everyone from middle-class families to small business owners.)

To be “one of them,” you have to blindly serve as an operative or as a dupe from those who dominate the MTRCC. My MTRCC critics/opponents a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the MTRCC resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Simi Valley City Council member Ruth Luevanos is now facing possible recall and censure stemming from a controversial video she made in her City Hall office advising immigrants of their legal rights prior to recent ICE raids. During public comments at Monday night’s council meeting, Simi resident Joe Piechowski said he was there to serve Luevanos with a notice of intention to circulate a recall petition. Such a notice is the first formal step in a very protected recall process in which Piechowski will eventually have to gather about 11,000 signatures of Simi Valley registered voters to hold a recall election. Piechowski received conflicting signals from city officials as to serving Luevanos with the notice.)
