(DIERSEN: According to Democrats, if you are a Republican, the longer that your
ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefited from their
discrimination against minorities and against women. How soon will Democrats
succeed in forcing Republicans to wear signs that state the year that their
ancestors came to America?)

years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $101,176-$131,532/year.
I worked on audits of federal financial institution regulators for almost 9
years, on audits of IRS for 3 years, and on audits of many other federal
agencies, including Railroad Retirement Board, Department of Defense, U.S.
Postal Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy,
Department of Transportation, Immigration and Naturalization Service, General
Service Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Department of Labor,
Federal Aviation Administration, Veteran Administration, Department of Housing

I worked for the Post Office as a part time carrier/clerk for almost 3 years at
the GS-4 Step 1-3 levels, currently $16.64-$17.75/hour. I learned a lot about
federal court procedures as an active member in a class action lawsuit and as

a grievant four grievances and as a Financial Regulatory Authority arbitrator
since 1998.)

(DIERSEN: Since the spring of 1969, to demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn
me as being a filthy rich draft dodger, my critics/opponents have stressed that
I drove from NIU to Florida for spring break in 1969 and 1970 in my 1969 Dodge
Charger SE. I could afford to do that because of my job working part-time for
the Park Forest Post Office.)

— Congresswoman asks Democratic presidential candidates to address federal
workforce – Lia Russell (DIERSEN: In what ways have you been a minority? All

because I was a non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and my ancestors have
been in America for a long time.)
https://fcw.com/articles/2020/02/27/wexton-asks-dem-candidates-to-address-federal-workforce.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ahead
of Virginia’s March 3 primary for the 2020 presidential race, Rep. Jennifer
Wexton (D-Va.) published an open letter urging the Democratic hopefuls to
consider how they would work to restore faith in the civil service. Job
satisfaction across the federal government has flagged continuously every year
under the Trump administration, according to the Partnership for Public
Service, which puts out a “Best Places in Government To Work” report every
year. In 2019, the public sector’s employee engagement score dipped to 61.7
points out of 100, compared to 77 in the private sector. “From its inception,
Donald Trump’s administration has set out to inflict harm on our public
servants and the vital role our federal agencies play in serving the American
people,” Wexton wrote in the letter. “This administration has launched attack
after attack on the nonpartisan civil service — severely undercutting workers’
rights, deliberately leaving agencies understaffed and key positions unfilled,
and using employees as bargaining chips in budget negotiations.”)
