Legal Defense Fund


Island Lake resident Greg Kachka has been charged with Disorderly Conduct for wearing this t-shirt to an Island Lake government meeting and allegedly waggling his finger at a Village trustee. Please read other recent stories just below.

Greg is a veteran, 60 years old, and he refuses to pay the $75.00 fine. Apparently, the village trustee was making faces at him, and she says he pointed his finger at her and moved his thumb as if cocking a pistol. Don't you just have to wonder what caliber finger Greg has?

If you would like to contribute to Greg's legal defense fund, send your check, cash or money order (payable to Greg Kachka Legal Defense Fund) to Gus Philpott, P.O. Box 1222, Woodstock, IL 60098. I'll deliver 100% of the money received to Greg.

If you contribute $20.00 or more and want a t-shirt, include a note with the size you want.

If you send $20.00 or more and want a t-shirt but want to remain anonymous, please be sure to include a separate note with your name, email address and phone number and desired shirt size. I'll pick up the shirts and bring them to Woodstock. If you want your shirt mailed, add $4.00 ($20 + $4 = $24) for Priority Mail and include your mailing address. Or you can donate on eBay and get a shirt for $20 + $5 shipping.

Donations/Contributions are not tax-deductible.

The People cannot allow the power of government to be abused in this manner. Had this incident occurred away from a government meeting, I cannot imagine that the Complaint would ever have made it past the filing cabinet. When I picked up my t-shirt this afternoon, I learned that the date of the incident was March 13, not last week.

Just imagine yourself caught up in a mess like this. Every $5, $10, $20, $50 helps. While you are reading this, if you are inclined to contribute, please do so now.
