— What’s your Chicago story? We want to hear it. – Mary Mitchell (COMMEMT: What is your Chicago story? My ancestors on my father’s side immigrated to Chicago from what is mow Germany in 1844, worked in a brick factory there for 10 years, and then homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete Township. My Chicago Democrat IRS and GAO superiors wasted my career and forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS’s Chicago offices 1971-1980 and then for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997. I lived in Chicago part-time in 1971 and 1974-1976 and then full-time 1976-1978. I took college courses in Chicago 1966-1968, 1971-1981, and 1992-1997. I earned master’s degrees in Chicago in 1976, 1980, and 1997. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in Chicago in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in Chicago in 1981. My 1969 Dodge Charger SE was stolen in Chicago in 1971 and my 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1973. I got married in Chicago in 1978. My wife and I were the subject of a nasty 4-page Money Magazine article in Chicago in February of 1978.)

The more job qualifications that I earned, the more that my Democrat superiors in the federal government ignored/dismissed/belittled them. I had worked for IRS as a Revenue Officer for almost 9 years when I was 31. I had worked for GAO as an Analyst for almost 18 years when I was 49. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanrobinson/2024/03/21/7-qualities-hiring-managers-seek-in-2024-candidates-looking-for-high-paying-jobs/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1. Relevant skills: 65% of hiring managers would consider candidates with relevant skills over those with an extensive employment history or academic credentials—even if they lack work experience. . .4. Educational qualifications: 47% consider educational qualifications important—with 25% seeing these attributes as absolutely essential—although 43% don’t require a degree from a prestigious institution.)

— My precinct letter is below. I am in the process of hand-delivering it to each of the homes in my new precinct from which one or more Republican ballot was cast in the March 19, 2024 primary. A very powerful Republican DuPage County official who I have done lots to help elect and to help reelect for decades has rudely severely criticized my letter. This official rudely said this official threw it away. This official rudely complained that I have not given that official any money. This official reads my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, I believe, to get information to use against me. This official’s many operatives and dupes have taken many/big adverse actions against me for decades including a) ending my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, b) gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, c) ending my chairmanship of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois in 2012, d) ending my membership on the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee in 2011, e) ending my service as the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster in 2010 and 2004, and f) crushing my campaign for MTRO treasure in 2004. This official rejects the planks in the Republican Party platform that I promote. This official paints me as being “too conservative” and blames me and my newsletters for all the losses that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. This official wants Republican candidates to run as anti-conservative, as Democrat Lite, and/or as anti-Republican. How would you react to this official if you were me? – Dave Diersen
