We have a special election date

With Denny Hastert’s resignation, Governor Blagojevich has set a special election to take place on Saturday, March 8, 2008, to fill the remainder of his term.

 

On Tuesday, February 5, the date of Illinois’ regular primary for the November election, there will also be a special primary for the special election.

 

So on February 5th, you will get to vote for John Laesch twice, once for the special primary and once for the general primary. This will give the voters of the 14th district a unique opportunity to send a strong message that they want real leadership and real change for themselves, their families, and their country.

 

There is so much to do, and if you want to join John’s team to put a solid progressive in Congress, the time to help is now!

 

John Laesch is fighting for all the people of the 14th district. Please help his cause either with a donation, or if you’d like to join the many volunteers who are the lifeblood of this campaign, contact Andrew Edgar at andrew@john08.com, or call our campaign office at (630) 801-8900.

Precinct Committee Endorsements

I would like to personally endorse John Laesch because John has spoken out for me on the most important issues facing Americans today.

 

He has been consistently courageous in speaking the hard truths that our so-called "leaders" have been unwilling to say.

 

I believe his intelligence and honesty are what we need, now.

Personal Endorsements

A personʼs wealth should never be a factor in the quality of health care they receive. To often illness in a family will lead to employers cutting costs by removing the employee whose family member is driving up company health care premiums. This will leave a family, already burdened by a chronic illness, with little or no income and no insurance. Itʼs not the employers fault. In order to continue providing at least a minimal insurance plan to the other employees, those who need it the most must be sacrificed.

 

Unlike what the insurance industry would have you believe the cause of the healthcare crisis in this country isnʼt the result of trial layers. The real reason people are dieing and families are being destroyed is a direct result of insurance lobbyists bribing politicians with campaign contributions. Those are two of the reasons why Iʼve decided to vote for John Laesch. I believe John is the best chance the fourteenth district has in this election to help end the political bribery and bring about a single-payer healthcare system.
