While I served as the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois 2005-2012, I recruited many speakers for TAPROOT monthly meetings, annual picnic, and Christmas party. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes a) viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned those who accepted my invitations and b) hinted/implied/argued/shouted at them that that their speaking at TAPROOT events caused them to lose elections. I should write a book about the aforesaid.

Of course, my critics/opponents will hint/imply/argue/shout that if they, or if one of their operatives or dupes had been the Republican Precinct Committeeman, Erkenswick would have won.

— Democrats who run GAO say that the federal government wastes $247 billion tax dollars annually. GAO wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. GAO audits IRS. They wasted what I had learned working for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. They wasted what I had learned passing the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981 and the CPA examination in 1979. They wasted what I had learned earning a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and an MBA from Loyola in 1976.
