Today marks the first day that the Laesch campaign will be airing a commercial on local cable television. We could not have done this without your generous support.
The new commercial is available here on YouTube.
Of course, we will need to do more than this to win the election, and we certainly don't expect the Hastert campaign to sit idly by while their candidate has the truth put out about him. So we can still very much use your help.
Today is also the first day that independent poll results have been reported for our beloved 14th district.
The poll results by Consituency Dynamics (PDF) shows John approaching Hastert by 10 points, 42% to 52% (reported by Kos here at this front-page post). To put this into perspective, in 2004, Dennis Hastert ended up with 69% to challenger Ruben Zamora's 31% This narrowing of the gap has been achieved with John spending only $100K compared to Hastert's $2 million spent, and without having done any advertising.
We have gained tremendous ground, we will continue to gain ground, and come January, we will be saying Congressman Laesch, although he prefers just "John".
Thank you,
Jared Lash
(No relation to John. I spell my name the right correct way. :-))
P.S. We would especially like to thank DragonFlyEye for the footage of Reynolds used in the ad.
