against me before and during MTRCC’s meeting yesterday evening. Which of the
other nine candidates do those MTRCC members want to be appointed? Do those
candidates want pot to be sold in Wheaton?)

— Communications problem hampers bipartisanship attempt – Bernard Schoenburg
https://www.sj-r.com/opinion/20190814/bernard-schoenburg-communications-problem-hampers-bipartisanship-attempt
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Traditionally, the two political days at the State Fair are reserved for
parties to enthuse the base with the message. Certainly, on Wednesday, when
U.S. House Speaker NANCY PELOSI spoke at the Crowne Plaza to the Illinois Democratic
County Chairs’ Association brunch, it fit that script. And Thursday is GOP Day
at the fair. But freshman Democratic Gov. J.B. PRITZKER framed the picnic he
hosted (and paid for personally) at the Director’s Lawn at the State Fair as a
bipartisan event, and said he invited all lawmakers, including Republicans.
Well, House GOP Leader JIM DURKIN, R-Western Springs, said he never got an
invitation, and ELENI DEMERTZIS, his spokeswoman, said some others in the
caucus she checked with didn’t receive invitations either. . .Durkin said had
he received the invitation, he probably would have attended.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Past and present candidates and elected officials who spoke at the Milton
Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) meeting Wednesday evening, August
14, 2019, at the Holiday Inn in Carol Stream included Almiron, Corrigan,
Diersen, Eckhoff, Fitch, Grant, Heidorn, Holder, Ives, Kachiroubas, Keller,
Kinzler, Krzyzewski, Larsen, McCluskey, McGowen, Monino, Seppelfrick, Walsh,
and Whelan. Meeting attendees included Baker, Bohn, Carlson, Caruso, Cooper,
Crane, Davis, Falbo, Fitzpatrick, Grant, Henry, Holan, A & R. Jorgensen,
Kachiroubas, Krzyzewski, Larsen, LeVan, Lofgren, Lollino, McCarthy, McNeily,
Muehlfelt, Nathwani, Rash, Ryan, Shaw, Smith, Tatro, Veenstra, and Zaruba.
Judge McCluskey announced his candidacy for the upcoming Judge George J.
Bakalis vacancy. Larsen reported on what DuPage County is doing concerning the
pot issue. Fitch reported on what Wheaton is doing concerning the West District
City Council vacancy and the pot issue. Sadly, its seems like the majority of
Republican Precinct Committeemen in Wheaton’s West District are not interested
in getting together and gathering information on the West District candidates,
hosting a candidate forum, or recommending any of the 10 candidates who have
applied to be appointed to fill the vacancy. Sadly, it seems like the majority
of Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeemen are not interested in
getting together and urging DuPage County, Wheaton, or Glen Ellyn to ban the
sale of pot. Sadly, it seems like the majority of Milton Township Republican
Precinct Committeemen side with my critics/opponents, their operatives, and
their dupes. They blame me for their problems, for your problems, for my problems,
and for everyone’s problems. They support those who slander and threaten me at
MTRCC meetings. They support those who focus on a) stopping me from putting
GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) stopping everyone
from reading those emails. They support those who discourage Republican
candidates, elected officials, and organizations from helping sponsor Wheaton’s
Independence Day fireworks and parades. The focus on turning everyone against
me, including those who run the Holiday Inn in Carol Stream and those who ran
the Wheaton Bowl. They work harder against me and harder against other
conservatives than they have ever worked against any Democrat. – Dave Diersen
