Meet Denny Hastert's Dem opponent, John Laesch!

[katinmn]

He won the primary yesterday.

Send him a donation if you can. He has a tough fight but Hastert must go!

John’s commitment to truth and democracy has led him to challenge the current Speaker of the House, J. Dennis Hastert, in the 2006 election.

Issues:

A health care system that ensures every American has access to affordable healthcare without overburdening government resources

An economy that puts the needs of Main Street before the desires of Wall Street while defending the American Dream for future generations

An education system that expands upon the dedication of family, promotes responsibility, and rewards achievement while opening the door to infinite possibilities

A national energy policy that focuses on reducing foreign energy dependence and national consumption, promotes alternative energy sources and strives for sustainability

A foreign policy that includes a Success Strategy for Iraq in the short-term and respects other nations; safeguards our security, the environment and workers rights in the long-term

A political system that works to ensure the integrity of our electoral system, increases voter turnout and reduces the influence of special interest groups

8. There's Lots Of Untapped Hispanic Votes Waiting For Denny

If the east sides of Elgin and Aurora can be energized, Gym Teech Denny could be in for a big surprise.

There used to be a decent Democratic base around Aurora (David Pierce). Please keep me/us posted on how fellow Illinoians can help.

Cheers...

9. Does Hastert's district include Rockford and DeKalb?

I grew up in Illinois and graduated from NIU in DeKalb, Illinois...many, MANY years ago. What towns are in Hastert's district?

I'm all for making a donation to the Laesch campaign.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

10. DeKalb Still Is...

Rockford has always been a different district.

The good thing about this district is there are more ears of corn than voters in the counties outside Kane and DeKalb.

11. That is some impressive gerrymandering

Not as good as Texas or Georgia, but pretty damn impressive.
