If Tom agrees to run, he will be my choice. He is a very strong avocate of tighter border controls, but he is also strong in several other area that make him attractive. He is worth checking out.
Do we need America's
TOP CHAMPION For Secure Borders To Run For President?
Dear Friend of Secure Borders,
Congressman Tom Tancredo is considering running for president. He is gauging the level of public interest.
Do a million citizens care enough about loose borders and runaway immigration to just sign a petition that they would like him to run to ensure their concerns show up in the campaigns?
CLICK HERE to let Tom Tancredo know what you think.
Again, his Petition for President is located at
http://teamtancredo.com/petition.php.
For years, individual citizens and grassroots groups have spontaneously been printing up TANCREDO FOR PRESIDENT bumper stickers.
If you've ever seen the Congressman on TV championing the right of America to defend itself against foreign invasion, you know why people are excited about him.
Before the 9/11 attacks in 2001, Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) was about the ONLY national politician who routinely spoke for the majority of people about the need to control our borders.
Now, dozens of politicians have followed his lead. But so far, most presidential candidates have been luke-warm to extremely scary on border security.
Tancredo is the pioneer, the leader who turned a disorganized and dispirited group of border-security Members of the U.S. House into one of the largest and most powerful caucuses in Congress.
He is considering taking that leadership a GIANT STEP FURTHER.
He has just formed an presidential exploratory committee to consider whether to run in the primaries so he can use that soapbox to shout the opinions of the majority of Americans on immigration matters.
WHY A PETITION IS SO IMPORTANT
A person doesn't take on the huge sacrifice of a year of constant campaigning based only on a general feeling of support from the public.
That is why the staffs of potential candidates offer devices like petitions to assess the level of enthusiasm. Petitions are ESSENTIAL to finding whether interest is REAL and DEEP.
When I think of all the mail I have received through the years asking if there isn't some way to persuade Congressman Tancredo to enter the presidential primary sweepstakes to advance our message of border security. . .
. . . I certainly hope that hundreds of thousands will let Tancredo
know in time for him to make the decision.
I am the president of the largest immigration-reduction group of activists in the country – NumbersUSA Action.
My organization does not endorse candidates. But we DO assess which candidates have the best records and stances on immigration/borders.
You can see the records and stances of all possible Republican and Democratic presidential candidates at:
