2009 GOPUSA ILLINOIS Wish List

By Dave Diersen

12/24/08

The Republican Party platform is conservative and the Republican Party exists to help elect Republican candidates who can and will advance that platform. The Democrat Party platform is liberal and the Democrat Party exists to help elect Democrat candidates who can and will advance that platform. The Combine exists in Illinois to a) advance the personal financial interests of its members, b) advance the Democrat Party platform, and c) defeat candidates who can and will advance the Republican Party platform. Bills in the Illinois Senate and House would return to Illinois Republican primary election voters the power to directly elect those who govern the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) -- the 19 members of the IRP State Central Committee (SCC). Tragically, for decades, the IRP, and especially the SCC, has been dominated by the Combine. Tragically, efforts to rebuild the IRP and efforts to motivate regular Republicans to contribute to the IRP are severely hampered if not futile as long as the Combine continues to dominate the IRP.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS 2009 wish list:

-- Illinois Republican voters are given back the opportunity to directly elect their representative in the IRP SCC;

-- Obama's U.S. Senate seat is filled by a Republican, a Republican who can, will, and does advance the Republican Party platform;

-- All Republican candidates in contested races on February 2, 2010 ballots in Illinois sign and fully comply with the IRP Campaign Code of Conduct (http://www.digitalvictorycms.com/_uploaded/347054-IRPCodeofCampaignConduct.pdf);

-- Illinois voters elect Republican candidates in the February 2, 2010 primary election who will also win in the November 2, 2010 general election and who can and will do the best job of advancing the Republican Party platform;

-- Many from Illinois attend the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, DC February 26-27;

-- All Republican candidates in the April 7, 2009 election win;

-- Illinois Republican Precinct Committeemen vote to amend their township party and county party by-laws to include recall provisions and to disqualify from holding leadership positions in their township party those who have recently voted in a Democrat primary election, who have recently accepted money from a Democrat, who have recently given money to Democrat, or who reject a major plank in the Republican Party platform;

-- The IRP SCC amends its by-laws (http://www.digitalvictorycms.com/_uploaded/887310-bylaws.pdf) to include recall provisions and to disqualify from holding leadership positions in the Republican Party those who have recently accepted money from a Democrat, who have recently given money to Democrat, or who reject a major plank in the Republican Party platform;

-- Federal and state prosecutors indict, convict, and sent to jail everyone who has broken laws, especially Combine members;

-- The IRP SCC moves aggressively to enforce the IRP Code of Ethics (http://www.digitalvictorycms.com/_uploaded/324865-code_of_ethics.pdf);

-- The liberal Illinois news media stops any kind of political reporting that is designed to promote a) candidates or officials who promote the Democrat Party platform, b) members of the Combine, c) people controlled by the Combine, d) people who want to be a member of the Combine, or e) people who lack what it takes to stand up to the Combine;
