NEW YORK TIMES
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS: FRONT PAGE OF NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE WITH PICTURE OF A DEFLATED RED ELEPHANT AND TITLED "THE END OF REPUBLICAN AMERICA?" The Democrat Party controlled New York Times has Benjamin Wallace-Wells write as negative and as depressing a commentary that he can on the Republican Party. The commentary focuses on RNC Chairman Tom Cole and mentions Steve Greenberg and Jim Oberweis.

-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: If in fact the recycling rate in Wheaton has declined during the last 10 years, why is that? It seems to me that sadly, about 8 out of 10 of those who have moved into Wheaton in the last 10 years are Democrats who moved here to take advantage of the prosperity and safety that Republicans created. I thought that Democrats brag that they recycle more than Republicans. Several times, Democrats?, threw trash at the base Bush-Cheney yard signs placed along Warrenville Road in my precinct.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
-- Why aren't Illinois Republican organizations and candidates issuing more press releases? - Dave Diersen
www.gopillinois.com
(THE ARTICLE: Why aren't the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), the Illinois House and Senate Republican organizations, the IRP Congressional District organizations, the Illinois Republican County Chairman's Association (IRCCA), the Republican county party organizations, the Republican township party organizations, the Republican Chicago ward organizations, the allied Republican organizations, and Republican candidates issuing more press releases? While the Democrat Party controlled Illinois news media routinely ignores such press releases, GOPUSA ILLINOIS would be more than happy to include them in its daily emails. Obvious topics for press releases include events such as the June 6/7 IRP quadrennial convention in Decatur, IRP State Central Committee meetings, IRP Congressional District meetings, IRCCA meetings, county party meetings, township party meetings, allied organization meetings, candidate rallies, and major fundraisers. Other topics could include actions taken to thank voters individually who cast Republican ballots in the February 5 primary election.)
