— Campaign finance reports show how much cash congressional candidates have
raised, spent – TED SLOWIK (DIERSEN: What discourages you from giving money to
candidates? For me, it is their failure/refusal to assure me that if elected,
they will defend/advance the Republican Party platform, including its
traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second
Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving)
planks. For me, it is their failure/refusal to assure me that if elected, they
will oppose the promotion of: dependency on government, dependency on charity,
LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and
other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political
affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and
retaliation for opposing the aforesaid.)

Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension is dramatically reduced because my
Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to
retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old. My Social Security is dramatically
reduced because I get a CSRS pension.)

who fail/refuse to defend/advance many planks in the Republican Party platform,
most commonly, the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal
drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based

— New public charge test should not equate wealth with worth – Editorial
(DIERSEN: What stopped you from having more money? For me, it was the success
that my Democrat superiors in the federal government had in wasting my career
and getting rid of me. My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997
when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and
appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for
pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my
mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years
that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $20,157 (21%) pay cut in today’s
dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not
promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of
my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My
Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick
leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)
