(DIERSEN: The Chicago Tribune has lifted its paywall on this article and says “To support essential reporting, please consider becoming a subscriber.” www.gopillinois.com has never had a paywall and it never will. GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter subscriptions have always been free and without advertising and they always will be. GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters have gone out since 2000. They have gone out each and every morning since 2004 and each and every evening too since 2015. Since 2004, those newsletters have contained links to more than 397,100 articles and information on many upcoming events. All the time, money, ability, motivation, experience, etc. needed to put GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together, to send them out, and to post copies of them at www.gopillinois.com comes from me. No one manipulates me. No one dominates me. I do not serve as an operative or as a dupe for anyone. I should write a book about those who focus on a) stopping me from sending the newsletters out and b) stopping everyone from reading the emails.)
