— ‘What Do I Want to Do With My Life?’ (COMMENT: What are you doing with your life? I am spending 10+ hours each and every day filling a tremendous communication void in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton by putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and sending them out. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP) and your Republican county, township, and ward party organizations should be bringing everyone’s attention to the articles that I do. Who works against what you are doing with your life and why? I should write a book a) about those who are working the hardest to stop me from sending out the newsletters and to stop everyone from reading them and b) why they do that. I would focus on IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organizations leaders. I would focus on those who reject the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who paint themselves as being moderates, that is, as being RINOs, that is, as being anti-conservatives, that is, as being anti-Republicans.)
