John Laesch was born on January 29th, 1974. The Laesch family served as Christian Missionaries, and John spent much of his childhood on the mission field in West Africa.

In 1986, the Laesch family returned to the United States and settled on a small farm in Newark, Illinois. During high school, John worked in the fields of several family-owned farms across Kendall County. John was captain of the soccer team and graduated at the top of his class from Newark High School in 1992. John received an A.S. from Waubonsee Community College in 1999.

Driven by his desire to serve his country, John enlisted in the United States Navy in 1995. In 1996, Laesch graduated from Great Lakes Naval Training Center at the top of his class.

Petty Officer Laesch receiving one of numerous commendations Throughout his tour of duty, Laesch served as an intelligence analyst in Bahrain, monitoring terrorist activity and analyzing foreign political and military structures. For his outstanding service to our nation, John received numerous citations and meritoriously rose 5 ranks within 3 short years.

Following an honorable discharge from the military, Laesch attended Illinois State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in History, while pursuing minors in Political Science and Communications.

Laesch’s desire to create positive change for the nation led him to become involved in political affairs. John volunteered for numerous political campaigns, and took on higher leadership roles in each subsequent campaign. In 2004, Laesch served as the campaign manager for Dr. David Gill in the Illinois 15th Congressional District.

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.

John is currently employed as a carpenter, and in his free time, he enjoys biking, fishing, and working on the family farm. http://www.dccc.org/races/candidates/IL_14_Jonathan_Laesch.html

Wouldn't it be funny as hell if an unknown, NO HOPE candidate actually managed to shift old fatass out of the House?

'throughout his tour of duty, Laesch served as an intelligence analyst in Bahrain, monitoring terrorist activity and analyzing foreign political and military structures'.

which leads me to wonder if Denny-boy's ties to Turkish Mafia or whatever and taking bribes from them might come out?

Hell-Bent for Hastert

http://www.firedoglake.com/2006/07/01/blue-america-fight-for-americas-soul-in-rural-illinois/

Last week the CHICAGO TRIBUNE laid out in great detail how Dennis Hastert was able to use his elected position to gobble up a cool $1,000,000 on some land speculation, the price of which he was able to manipulate. Hastert, who has been protecting arch Republicrook Jerry Lewis, Chairman of the Republican Criminal Operation known as the House Appropriations Committee, was able to surrepticiously earmark a nice fat $200 million bit of federal tax dollar pork to increase the value of land that Hastert sat on for just over 2 years.

[never_get_over_it]

31. I heard John Laesch

on Bob Kinkaids's Head on Radio show a few weeks ago and went right to his site and contributed - I was VERY impressed with him....

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

4. Why?

What motivation would they have to do so?

[MADem]

6. The only time those assholes turn on their own is when someone is trying

to throw them under the bus....perhaps these rats fear that THEY will be accused of stonewalling and covering up!

[blm]

9. That's the way I see it - the rats scrambling to be first off the ship.

.

[AlCzervik]

8. they want to seperate themselves from house leadership? no one wants

the stink on them i'm guessing.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. Let's Hope This Is For Real. Hastert Is In My Top 5 Hated Congressman.

I would LOVE to see this blow up in his disgusting pig face. Please please please can this break wide open in the coming days/weeks.

:toast:

[AlCzervik]

14. seeing Hastert go would be pretty great and of course he can always

use the "Spending more time with my cardiac surgeon" as an excuse.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. By Some Remote Chance, There's No Way Sensenbrenner Is Connected To This

somehow is there? What I wouldn't give to see that fuckface go down too!

[AlCzervik]

17. ***snicker*** we can hope! I keep hoping somehow Norm Coleman is involved

i know he isn't but i really, really can't stand him.

[MADem]

21. He, of the "curious marriage" and the free teeth from the dentist?

Let's have another look at NORM's dirty MOUTH:

[AlCzervik]

22. my eyes!!!!!!!!! Damn you i'm going to the movies and i --was--- going

to get some popcorn and now you've ruint, yes ruint my appetite!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :rofl:

[eShirl]

28. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

MUST! BRUSH! TEETH!

Runs to go floss, brush, Waterpic, and Sonicare. Rinse, repeat!

[KittyWampus]

18. maybe Hastert's ties to Turkish Mafia might surface?

[MnFats]

10. Don't GLOAT! all of you, and me, must not gloat....

...very bad karma to gloat.
i know, it's hard not to, um, relish the discomfiture but....just don't gloat

[MADem]

16. Gloat, schmoat--what this means is that HOPELESS candidates are NOW

actually COMPETITIVE!!!!!! If Dems in those districts would punch it up ten notches, between turning out the Democrats and depressing the GOP base, they could pull it off.

Foley was supposed to win, now it's a good bet the Dem gets it. If Hastert breaks wide open and the DNC dumps a shitload of media money into his district for his opponent (who has lived a life comparable to JESUS or JOSEPH, no shit--a farmer, carpenter, MISSIONARY .... AND .... a VET!!!!) the guy could just pull it off if the info is damaging enough.

Same with this guy http://www.dccc.org/races/candidates/NY_26_Jack_Davis.html who's running against that turd Reynolds in Western NY state....

[KittyWampus]
