On Friday, John Pavich, former CIA officer, received the endorsement of the Peoria Journal Star over Congressman Jerry Weller. This is the first newspaper endorsement in the district. Hopefully, John will receive many others including the endorsements from the Chicago newspapers.

The Peoria Journal Star states:

If voters in the 11th Congressional District believe in holding politicians accountable for their promises, they won't re-elect Republican incumbent Jerry Weller, who got swept into Congress with the legendary Contract With America class of 1994.
Instead, they should vote for Democrat John Pavich...

Last Friday, John Pavich challenged Congressman Jerry Weller to a series of debates in front of 100-150 constituents in Ottawa, IL. It was fitting that Pavich challenged Weller to debate at the Lincoln & Douglas Memorial where Abraham Lincoln held his first debate with Stephen Douglas.

Margaret Blackshere, President of the Illinois AFL-CIO, was there with John in support of his campaign.

It was a cold, overcast day, but it was nice to see such a large diverse crowd come out for John. The crowd was a mixture of Hispanic, White, and African American constituents. It was nice to see a lot of Seniors there too.

John's speech and comments lasted approximately 20 minutes and then he chatted with constituents and answered their questions for another half hour.

The text of his speech can be found at: http://pavichforcongress.com/...

Take a minute to look at the new website for John Pavich. John is running for the congressional seat currently held by ethically challenged congressman, Jerry Weller in IL-11. Like many Republicans, Jerry can't seem to stop taking money from special interest lobbyists.

See the site at:

http://pavichforcongress.com/

The new site allows you to get a lot of information about this race and the district. There has already been a lot written about this race by district newspapers so you can find that information too. Feel free to sign up for campaign emails, add your name to the volunteer list, or donate some money to John.

I've spoken about this before, but this is a race that can be won.

Also, a big thank you to Leo at IllinoisDemNet for doing such a great site for John Pavich!

I work in the Sears Tower and out my window I am watching the most incredible display of people power! The people are rising up and I'd say well over 100,000 are doing it for immigrants' rights! There are a lot of signs asking for Bush's resignation too. The streets are so packed that people are pushing to get to the Federal Plaza where this is supposed to end....instead it has spilled over for blocks and blocks. Protesters are even wrapped around the Sears Tower. I'm really impressed and so proud of my fellow citizens! I hope people will begin to understand the important issues that surround immigrant rights.

Soon...I hope the rest of the country rises up too against this Republican President and Republican Congress!

Does anyone know much about this new PAC...Blue Catapult? The PAC plans to help democratic challengers expand the map against republican incumbents. There is not much info on their website about who is running the group etc. I'm interested in getting involved and also finding out how they are picking their candidates. Thanks!

As of December 31, 2005, John Pavich is the best funded Democratic Challenger for US Congress in Illinois. He has raised nearly $250K and has over $190K in cash. He has more cash on hand than several Democratic and Republican incumbents in IL. Also, he has not loaned his campaign any money. He is in very good shape since he does not have a primary opponent.

While everyone is squabbling about IL-6, they need to start looking at John Pavich. He is a great guy, an inspirational speaker, and has a great story!
