My name is
John Laesch.
Recently Dennis Hastert's campaign has launched a negative letter to the editor campaign attacking the JDL2006 campaign.
At least one of the attacks uses false, "swift boat" tactics and Of course we are fighting back!
I need some research help. Our campaign is collecting the truth and I need you to help me find out how these people
are connected to Dennis Hastert.
Read on...
Here is the letter that a Hastert supporter wrote in one of the Elgin newspapers.
Only votes when his name is on the ballot
Here is a fact that all voters in Dennis Hastert's congressional district should know: Hastert's opponent, John Laesch, apparently doesn't think it's important to vote.
In 1998, Laesch didn't vote. In 2000, he didn't bother to vote for president. In 2002, he didn't vote. And in 2004, you guessed it, he didn't vote for president again.
It is outrageous that this guy thinks he should replace the Fox Valley's own Denny Hastert as our congressman.
It seems the only time Laesch votes is when his name appears on the ballot.
Brandon Yaniz

Here are the facts. I have moved around quite a bit over the last 10 years and my voting record has traveled with me. Someone from our campaign is currently having several County Clerks fax my voting record to our office.
My voting Record is as such:
1996 - Pulled a General Election ballot and Voted absentee while stationed in the Middle East (Hometown of Newark, IL).
1998 - Do not recall voting (was still stationed overseas)
2000 - Voted in the General Election (Normal, IL)
2001 - Voted in a Normal City Council race (Normal, IL)
2002 - Voted in the General Election (Normal, IL)
2004 - Voted in the Democratic Primary and General Election (Bloomington, IL)
2005 - Voted in a City Council race (Normal, IL)
2006 - Voted for myself in the Democratic Primary Election (Newark, IL)
What I need your help with is some research.
We know that Brandon Yaniz is a Young Republican.
We need to know more.
Has Yaniz contributed to Hastert?
Has Yaniz volunteered for Hastert?
What is his voting record like?
Finally, we are currently planning a response to let Hastert know that I DO VOTE! I also will not tolerate a smear campaign or swift boating - Hastert needs to clean up his dirty campaign tricks and his dirty politics in Washington.
In addition to Brandon Yaniz, several other letters are out there - Campaign HQ is feeding intel our way.
Please feel free to offer advice and comment.
If you are in Vegas, stop by our booth in the convention hall. We have T-shirts and will be working the crowd for
the next 12 hours:)
People keep saying, "good luck." Luck is for Vegas - hard work, a good strategy and money are needed to win elections!
Respectfully,
John Laesch
