(DIERSEN: If you were me, how would you deal with those who a) focus on discouraging me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) focus on discouraging everyone from reading those newsletters?

The names would include unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. The names would include those who destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover-up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. The names would include those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout and who falsely paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican. The names would include those who reject the 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. The names would include those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and/or age discrimination.
