FEDERALIST
— Indiana Lawsuit Challenges Parties’ Right To Keep Candidates Off The Ballot – OLIVIA HAJICEK (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. The Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization should officially have the power to stop candidates from running as Republicans in Illinois, in DuPage County, and in Milton Township. But of course, if the aforesaid organizations officially had that power, their Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders would officially use that power to stop candidates from running as Republicans who support the following planks in the Republican Party platform: a) individual responsibility, b) traditional marriage/family, c) right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). Because I support the aforesaid planks, if I had tried to run for any government office in Illinois, DuPage County, or Milton Township, Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, Independent plant, and RINO leaders of the aforesaid organizations would have stopped if they had the power to do so. Just look at how they attacked me when sought to be appointed to fill the Wheaton City Council West District vacancy in 2019.)

— Trump supporters outnumbered in New York as few take up Trump’s call to ‘PROTEST’ ‘I wish more people had shown up,’ one of Trump’s supporters said – Anders Hagstrom (COMMENT: Who do hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in your county, in your township, and in your municipality demonize, denigrate, and condemn the most as being Trump supporters? Since 2015, ever-increasingly, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, they demonize, denigrate, and condemn me as being the leading Trump supporter in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I should write a book about the biggest past and present hate-filled Trump-hating a) leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee, b) leaders of each of the county’s nine Republican township party organizations, c) Republican leaders of DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, d) conservative leaders, and e) religious leaders.

But a) I have never donated any money to Trump, b) I have never held any leadership position in any of Trump campaign, and c) I have never organized any events for Trump. I have never done anything more to help elect Trump or to reelect Trump than Republican Precinct Committeemen are required to do. In my precinct, a) I delivered Trump campaign literature and b) after he won the 2016 and 2020 primaries, I sought yard sign locations for his campaigns. Because of my policy of staying out of primaries, I did not recommend any Republican candidate in the 2016 and 2020 Republican primaries. Trump supporters would viciously disagree that I have favored Trump with my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. )

Asa Hutchinson, potential presidential candidate, woos Orange County Republicans – SEEMA MEHTA (COMMENT: Which potential Republican presidential candidates have wooed Republican voters in your county or want to woo them? DuPage County has more residents than five states and the District of Columbia. I should write a book about why potential Republican presidential candidates might or might not try to woo Republican voters in DuPage County. I would focus on the leaders of the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the leaders of each of the county’s nine Republican township party organizations. I would focus on how the aforesaid have treated me and have treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on the adverse actions that they have taken against me. Since 2015, ever-increasingly, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton have viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being the leading Trump supporter in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton.)

I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year.
