— Elgin police chief wants to college degree dropped from list of requirements for officer hires – GLORIA CASAS
(DIERSEN: To facilitate hiring and promoting Democrats who are minority and/or female, the Democrats who run the federal government have dropped many hiring and promotion requirements. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

— Discourage
(DIERSEN: What do your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes discourage you from doing? Most recently, mine discourage me from raising money from DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. They continue to discourage me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. They continue to discourage me from serving as a DuPage County Milton Township Precinct Committeeman. They continue to discourage me from helping elect Republican candidates. Previously, they ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee membership, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership, GAO employment, etc.)
