That enabled me to save enough money a) to buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in May of 1966 that I used to get to/from my parents’ home and jobs and classes at UIC until I sold it in December of 1967 and bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and b) to pay for my UIC expenses.

ILLINOIS REVIEW
— Don Tracy, IL GOP Leaders Endorsed a Pro-Choice, Pro-Same Sex Marriage, Pro-Transgender Candidate Who Voted for Barack Obama, Violating GOP Party Platform (COMMENT: I should write a book about “Republican” elected officials, party leaders, and major donors in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have demonstrated their hatred against conservatives, that is, against platform Republicans, that is, against Republicans the most. I would focus on those who have taken the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2023/05/don-tracy-il-gop-leaders-endorsed-a-pro-choice-pro-same-sex-marriage-pro-transgender-candidate-who-voted-for-barack-obama-violating-gop-party-platform.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But despite Fioretti’s record as a Democrat, and his longtime support of issues like abortion, same sex marriage and transgender rights – and the fact that he last ran as a Democrat in 2020 – that didn’t seem to bother Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy, who hosted a fundraiser for Fioretti last October and made a personal donation to his campaign on September 2, 2022. The State Board of Elections website even lists a $5,000 donation from the Illinois Republican Party to ‘Fioretti for Cook’ on November 1, 2022 – which is presumably for mailers. The website also lists a $70,000 donation from the Illinois Republican Party to ‘Hart for DuPage’ on October 18, 2022 – presumably for mailers as well. In October, the IL GOP sent out a pro-choice mailer on behalf of Hart’s campaign with the words, “Paid for by the Illinois Republican Party” – representing a direct violation of the Illinois Republican Party Platform. What’s missing? Contributions from the Illinois Republican Party and Don Tracy to conservative grassroots candidates. Supporting Fioretti is also a direct violation of the Illinois Republican Party Platform, which promotes pro-life and pro-traditional family values and principles. And nowhere does the party platform discuss support for abortion, same sex marriage and transgender rights. And Tracy should know better as the leader of the Illinois Republican Party. However, Tracy’s support for Fioretti and Hart isn’t a surprise. After all, in 2002, Tracy ran in the Illinois Primary for the 50th State Senate District as a Democrat. In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Tracy’s family-owned business, Dot Foods – where he is an owner, donated to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. And recent revelations uncovered by Illinois Review reveal that on September 4, 2020 – just months before his election as chairman of the Illinois Republican Party, Tracy made a personal donation to Citizens for Judge Emily Sutton – a Democrat running for Circuit Court Judge in the 9th Judicial Circuit of Illinois. And in 2014, during an interview with Illinois political reporter Bernard Schoeburg, Tracy admitted that he’s actually an “independent,” and when reflecting on his 2002 state senate campaign, he said, “I thought I could be more independent as a Democrat in a county where the Democrat Party was weak.” In other words, Tracy’s a political opportunist, and he is guided not by principles, but by whatever is convenient and gets him the most influence. Sounds just like his pal Fioretti. After all, they do share similar winning records.)
