— ‘Respect, not silence’ is answer to political discourse – DENISE CROSBY
(DIERSEN: What void do you fill? I fill the tremendous communications void
created by, continued by, and aggravated by the Illinois Republican Party
(IRP), Republican county party organizations in Illinois including the DuPage
County Republican Central Committee, and Republican township/ward party
organizations in Illinois including the Milton Township Republican Central
Committee. The IRP should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails
that focus on statewide government and political issues. Republican county
party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails
that focus on countywide government and political issues. Republican township/ward
party organizations should send out emails similar to GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails
that focus on township/ward government and political issues. However, I
acknowledge that paying people to do the aforesaid would cost a tremendous
amount of money. To get someone who is qualified to do what I do as your GOPUSA
Illinois Editor, they would have to be paid at least $500,000 a year.)

anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White,
anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German
Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in

DAILY HERALD
— Why Intel is going to share gender, racial pay data most companies conceal –
Bloomberg (DIERSEN: If the federal government shared such pay data, it would
show that it pays its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or
younger more than it pays its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or
older who have comparable work experience, education, and/or professional
certifications and licenses. While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, GAO always paid
its employees who are Democrat, minority, female, and/or younger more than it
paid its employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or older who had
comparable work experience, education, and/or professional certifications and
licenses. GAO audits IRS. When GAO hired me in 1980, I had almost 9 years experience
working for IRS, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels,
currently $82,579-$93,592. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt
in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the
requirements for a master’s degree from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS,
including interviewing, data gathering, summary, and analysis, report writing,
and making recommendations was similar to what I would be doing for GAO. NEVERTHELESS,
the Democrats who ran GAO required me to take a $19,568 pay cut in today’s
dollars (a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10) to transfer. They would
NOT have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, and/or female.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “I
pulled up a map for a friend of mine to illustrate how many conservatives were
in his neighborhood; he had no idea,” Knoedler said. “He then told me that if
only he’d known he was not alone on his street, he would have felt emboldened
to put a candidate’s yard sign in front of his house.” Fuller said,
“Conservatives are naturally less vocal about our political views, but having a
community where we can encourage each other and organize to get involved in our
communities will help members feel less alone.” Colorado is a launching group,
but Fuller and Knoedler hope to expand to a national site.)
