| Every day, Will County Republican Chair George Pearson receives phone calls from voters over the uncertainty of the November election. One example is from the Mayor of Crete, IL, Michael Einhorn, and staunch Independent leader. Mike stated several of his residents are upset over receiving ballot applications in the mail for their children or past residences who have not been there for years. They are asking what to do. Mail-in-Voting has skyrocketed. Republican Chairman George Pearsons has gotten over 200 emails thus far with similar concerns. Our Will County Republican party must educate and reach the voters to get them involved. We have the right data; we do not have the resources. We have been out knocking doors but many people fear personal communications because of COVID-19. For those willing to get out and be active, we need a draw, a reason to come out. In order to reach voters, a vast social media and mailer campaign is critical so we can get our messages to the people. To do this, George Pearson is bringing in nationally recognized expert Jonathan T. Gilliam for a fundraiser, Friday, August 28, 2020, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Seigel’s Cottonwood Farm, 17250 Weber Road, in Lockport, IL. This scenic park is the perfect place to hold an “outdoor protest” over the mail-in ballot debacle we are facing. This event will energize those who have been sitting on the sidelines here in Illinois watching Madigan’s achieve total control over Illinois since since first becoming Speaker of the Illinois House in 1983. Tickets will be $90 per person, $160 per couple, $750 per table, sponsorships start at $250. |
