		<description>&lt;p&gt;John, I don’t know if you’re still here, but just wanted to send a personal thank you to you, for having the courage and foresight to run against Hastert from the get-go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We met at YearlyKos and I can vouch for Jane’s description of you: dignified, modest, intelligent, and sincere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are the anti-Hastert… I look forward to your victory in November!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Mr. Laesch don’t hesitate to bring up the gay child molsters (and the possible cover up) ties to Hastert every chance you get.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;John, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your candidacy reminds me of David vs. Goliath - and we know who won that fight!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s it! Let’s give some &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.actblue.com/page/blueamerica#8777.&quot;&gt;stones for the sling&lt;/a&gt; so John Laesch can take down this Goliath!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is addicting. Hastert’s office kept clicking it again and again and again. How funny is that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That fills my heart with quite possibly unholy glee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I have a big heart…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I just dropped fifty in the bucket, not just because of this latest scandal, but your positions on the Iraq war, the treatment of our veterans, and protecting the vote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think you’ll be a good representative for your district and our nation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And here’s that link for those who wish to join in making sure Mr Laesch has enough money to fight and win this race:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.actblue.com/page/blueamerica#8777.&quot;&gt;http://www.actblue.com/page/blueamerica#8777.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(I sure hope I did that correctly)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;FYI John- this is link to a page that itself has several links about Age of Consent.  Gives a good general discussion (for teens, not lawyers) of the issues.  Click through to find general discussion, FAQs, and a chart for AOC in different states as of 2001.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Didn’t the GOP break the unwritten DC law not to campaign against leadership of the opposing party when they went after Tom Daschle?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our national party leaders must make John Laesche’s campaign against the Speaker a marquee race in the next five weeks.  They owe at least that much to America’s children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Excellent point Teddy - when I think of party leaders one of the few who light up my heart is Dr. Dean so guess I’ll start with him. Any and all suggestions of party leaders worth contacting will be much appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Topic - Iraq&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NBC Nightly News…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Woodward was ready for the White House push back, he has &lt;em&gt;documents&lt;/em&gt; to back up his claims! K-POW!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You bet he did. Woodward is one of the most anal, most careful journalists in this country. He and his assistants do a tremendous amount of research before one of his books is written and published.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no way he would make these allegations unless he had lots to back them up with.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
