Republican Activities

Since my last letter, my duties as your Republican Precinct Committeeman, as the Chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, and as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor continue to keep me busy.  On July 3, I walked with Mike Fortner in the outstanding Warrenville Independence Day Parade.  Joe Birkett, Dave Carlin, Roger Claar, Kirk Dillard, Grant Eckhoff, Fortner, Gwen Henry, Randy Hultgren, Gary King, J.R. McBride, Debra Olson, and Phil Suess contributed $1,300 to sponsor the Chicago Highlanders in the outstanding 2008 Wheaton Independence Day Parade.  Mary Jo Arndt, Michael Connelly, Bob Larsen, Darlene Ruscitti, Tim Whelan, and John Zaruba contributed $500 to sponsor Cub Scout Pack 64 in the parade.  Birkett, Fred Bucholz, Eckhoff, Fortner, Hultgren, Chris Kachiroubas, Olson, McBride, Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC), Gary Muehlfelt, The Steve Sauerberg Campaign, and Peter Roskam participated in the parade.  Many thanks to those of you who cheered for them as they passed by.  My 4X4-foot “Vote Republican” sign was on the back of the MTRCC float.  On July 13, I walked with Fortner in the West Chicago Railroad Days Parade.  On July 9, I attended the MTRCC monthly meeting.  On July 16, I attended a press conference at McDonald’s headquarters protesting the company’s promotion of homosexual activity.  On July 19, GOPUSA ILLINOIS was a $500 one star sponsor for the outstanding Operation Support Our Troops concert at Cantigny.  On August 9, I attended a major fundraiser for Senator Chris Lauzen in Aurora.  On August 11, I attended a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee meeting.

I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000.  In that time consuming role, each and every morning, I send a free email to over 800 Republican elected officials, party leaders, candidates, and activists across the state.  These emails bring to their attention news and commentary articles of interest to Illinois Republicans that have been posted on the internet during the previous 24 hours as well as information on upcoming events.  Since the beginning of 2005, these emails have included hyperlinks to over 32,300 internet postings and information on many upcoming events.  In addition to www.gopillinois.com, I post copies of the emails on www.illinoisreview.com and on the Illinoize page at http://thecapitolfaxblog.com/.  Please consider subscribing.  Just email me at Diersen@aol.com with “subscribe” in the subject line.

Upcoming Events

On August 13 & 14, I will attend Republican Day events at the State Fair.  On August 17, anti-illegal immigration activist Rosanna Pulido will speak at the TAPROOT annual picnic in Westmont.  On September 22, the DuPage County Republican Party will hold its Republican Day fundraiser at St. Andrews Golf Course in West Chicago.  On October 17, MTRCC will hold its Oktoberfest fundraiser at the Abbington Banquet Hall in Glen Ellyn.

Recall Petition Drive

The DuPage County Republican Party has launched a petition drive to place an advisory referendum question on November 4 ballots in DuPage County.  The question would ask if Illinois should provide for recall of our Constitutional office holders.  The extended deadline for submitting completed petitions is rapidly approaching.  I would greatly appreciate it if you would become a petition signer or volunteer to circulate petitions.  Please let me know as soon as possible at 630-653-0462.
