My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease). I attended UIC 1966-1968.)

— Democrats Are Ignoring One Key Voting Group: Veterans – Jasper Craven (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats are nasty. Since 1966, Democrats have stressed to veterans that I avoided the draft. They stress to veterans that because of that, I have had a tremendous unfair advantage in life and that if I had not avoided the draft, I would not been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, etc. b) graduate from NIU in 1970, earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, etc., c) get hired by Firestone Stores in 1970, get a job offer from Oldsmobile in 1971, get hired by IRS in 1971, etc., and d) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, etc. Since 1966, Democrats have stressed that my avoiding the draft is one more reason why I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. What do you say to Democrats who called Vietnam veterans “baby killers?)

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
— How does a Bay Area Republican survive? Act like a Democrat – Holly Honderich (DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. If you are not going to defend and advance the Republican Party platform, you should not seek or hold any kind of government or political office as a Republican.)
https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/How-does-a-Bay-Area-Republican-survive-Act-like-13293456.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Catharine Baker calls herself pro-choice, pro-environment and pro-gun control. As the only Republican to hold partisan office in the decidedly liberal Bay Area, it may be the only way she can hang on. Since she was first elected in 2014, the East Bay assemblywoman has split with the GOP on issues that define it nationally and has sought to distance herself from the man who now controls the Republican Party, President Trump. Her tenure in Sacramento has been marked by frequent excursions across the aisle to work with Democrats. “That’s one of the strongest signatures of my record: independence from parties and interest groups,” Baker said. “I feel I’m one of the most effective members of the Legislature that way.”)
