GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— What void do you fill? With my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, I fill a tremendous Republican communication void in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township. The Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), and Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) bring very few articles to the attention of Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township. Since 2004, GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails have brought more than 341,700 articles and information on many upcoming events to the attention of Republican Precinct Committeemen/Captains in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township. The IRP, DCRCC, and MTRCC share extremely few articles that promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the IRP and Republican Party platforms. GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails help fill the tremendous Republican communication void in Illinois. – Dave Diersen

— Locals react to two new laws designed to protect undocumented children – Amanda Henderson
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/locals-react-to-two-new-laws-designed-to-protect-undocumented-children
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Governor Pritzker does not speak for me,” said Director of Illinois Minuteman Project Rosanna Pulido. . .”Americans who live in Illinois want our laws to be enforced. They want ICE to do their job and we want that for safe communities,” said Pulido. Under the new laws, two things can now happen. Number one: if the parents of an undocumented child are detained or deported, the child can still live with a legal guardian for up to two years. The second law allows undocumented children to get visas, which is an easier way to get US citizenship. “I have a hard time believing that there are people who would want to leave their children behind,” said Pulido.)

Even though I have lived in Wheaton since 1978, and even though there are two large cemeteries in my precinct, I do not want to be buried in Wheaton. There are far too many Wheaton residents who are filled with hatred of those who share my demographics: Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, draft avoider, ancestors who have been in America for a long time, former union member, former federal employee, federal retiree, childless, pet-less, American nameplate car owner, former Crete resident, etc.)

Those who do not want me to ask the aforesaid questions do everything that they can to destroy me.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Trump-haters say “Trump campaign sees political advantage in a divisive appeal to working-class white voters.” Are/were you a “working class white voter?” I was. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes look down on, badmouth, belittle, despise, demonize, denigrate, and condemn white working class voters. They stress that I was a union member 1966-1969 and 1971-1980.)
