According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, it is because of me and because of my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that more and more and more voters are on the left in my neighborhood, in my precinct, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois. They hint/imply/argue/shout that I should a) stop promoting the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and the rest of the planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and in the Republican Party platform and b) stop promoting the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling.)
