The Sad and Pathetic Illinois GOP LEADERSHIP Rhonda Belford

Conservative Grassroots activist and former Attorney General Candidate in Illinois Tom Devore has been on the inside track and just announce that the NEW ILLINOIS GOP CHAIR WOMAN RHONDA BELFORD NOW WANTS TO GET PAID FOR HER ILLINOIS GOP VOLUNTEER POSITIONS. The Illinois GOP Lose most of their elections.

TOM...... I have been on the phone all day discussing the issue of a Code of Ethics for members of the Illinois State Central Committee which would include our new National Committee member Rhonda Belford. For the first time that I can remember, we have a political figure, Rhonda Belford, boldly soliciting money from taxpayers to finance her volunteer political activity. What all of you haven't seen however are the "donations" she has already received in the background including gifts such as $3,000 tickets to a special event with J.D. Vance held during the National Convention in July. That is right, Rhonda was hobnobbing at that special event which cost $3,000 to even get in the door. Wouldn't you all like to know who bought that ticket as it wasn't Rhonda obviously as she is putting out flyers for you to attend a BBQ's and donate to her for some gas money? I am calling on Rhonda Belford to immediately disclose to the taxpayers a full accounting of all funds, including in-kind contributions she has received in 2024. While I know the details of some of these things such as the $3,000 ticket, it is not my responsibility to disclose this to you. Rhonda needs to fully disclose all of this so all of you can see who is influence peddling with her. If she won't disclose all of this to you, then she needs to resign all of her volunteer positions.

CONTINUED: Rhonda made some votes this year at the state convention, and is presently trying to push certain resolutions through the State Central Committee, which many would be hard pressed to understand where her personal motivation came from to take these actions. It is clear she is/was being influenced by someone and something and until all of you can see the full extent of who gave her donations, and how much these donations have been, we won't know for sure. If all of you see who is lavishing her with these contributions, I think it will all start to make sense. Here is Rhonda's e-mail she uses as a representative. belstar@shawneelink.net Please contact her and demand she give you a full accounting and disclose where all of her donations are coming from and what they have been spent on. I think you will particularly find the history of the $3,000 dinner ticket to be quite enlightening. Maybe while you are at it, you might also demand she call upon the State Central Committee to create a code of ethics to be adopted which puts an end to this nonsense. These people sure are something. It is no wonder Illinois Republicans can't get ahead.

One does not have to look far to see Rhonda and the rest of the Leadership in the Illinois GOP Through a ton of money behind DEMOCRAT RICHARD IRVIN. They PUT AN R after his name and Ran him as a REPUBLICAN, against beloved DARREN BAILEY. That’s the kind of Republican Party we have in Illinois. The Democrats Master plan, Put an R next to your name and run for office. RHONDA BELFORD, Thank you for your service, It’s Time now to resign.

C’mon, be honest. Sure the IL GOP sucks but Darren Bailey only got as far as he did because of the money thrown at his campaign by the Democrat Governor’s Association. He is too conservative to have any chance of being elected in IL and they rolled him. Richard Irvin had the one attribute that might have been able to keep the true leftist POS Prickster out of the governor’s office - he was black. We’ll never see a true conservative governor unless/until we are rid of Chicago’s overwhelming influence. The best we can hope for is a moderate like Jim Edgar but who isn’t a total wuss like Rauner proved to be. And that will only happen if those in Cook County who automatically vote for the Guy With a D After His Name are given an alternative, and that most likely means an identity politics play.

Answer the question. We are talking about RHONDA BELFORD. OBVIOUSLY you don’t like Darren Bailey because you are Godless. Yes Darren gets a lot of punch back because he is a Christian.

I’m personally sick and tired of the mob-mentality of Illinois politics.

Leave Rhonda Belford alone. If you want another National Committeewoman, wait until her time is up, then campaign for another woman.

As a first-time delegate to the GOP convention in Collinsville, the process was unnerving. If there were issues about the candidate who initially won the National Committeemen position, it would have been nice to have circulated to attendees prior to the vote. Then delegates would have been educated and voted accordingly.

Instead mob-mentality took over, and from one source, I heard the ruckus was so disturbing a senior citizen delegate died from a heart attack when he returned home.

I hope civility returns to the party.
