God Bless American Patriot Tom Tancredo!

By John W. Lillpop

Of all the presidential candidates on both sides of the ideological divide, only one man really understands the issue of illegal immigration and its potential to destroy America.

That man, of course, is Tom Tancredo who has been unflinching in his support for securing our borders, enforcing the rule of law, defending American sovereignty, and preserving American language and culture.

Unlike his Republican colleagues, excepting only Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo has not found it necessary to "reinvent" himself by glossing over earlier positions on one of the most volatile issues in American history.

Representative Tancredo has been for America from the get go, and as such he has been a vocal opponent of illegal immigration for many years.

He had the courage to speak out against Republican President George W. Bush and the GOP Congress for failing to honor their sworn oaths to defend America from invasion.

Tancredo truly understands that unless illegal immigration is prevented, and reversed, America is destined to fall into a third-world abyss akin to that of Mexico and other Latin American nations that currently ship their problems north for U.S. taxpayers to contend with.

Until quite recently, Tom Tancredo was a "lone voice," when warning U.S. politicians and the public that America has been, and continues to be, invaded by millions of criminals from south of our border.

However, because of his intelligence and ability to articulate, Tom Tancredo has been a major force in bringing illegal immigration to the forefront of issues being debated in America.

Without Tom Tancredo sounding the alarm, the Democratic congress and our "conservative" president would surely have conspired to enact amnesty for the 38 million criminal aliens now here, which would have been seen as a big green light to another 40 million with designs on invading America.

In October, Tom Tancredo saddened patriots by announcing that he would not seek reelection as a representative from Colorado in the U.S. House. Terrible news, yes, but who can blame the gentleman for fleeing from the likes of Speaker Pelosi and other enemies of America now occupying the U.S. capitol?

Even worse news came on December 20 when Tom Tancredo announced that he was abandoning his presidential campaign.

Why, oh, why are we losing Tom Tancredo? Why not Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, or Mike Huckabee throwing in the towel? Why not give Fred Thompson last rites, and let him doze off while en route to Hollywood to star in another smash hit television series?

In the final analysis, Tom Tancredo has provided the American people with an invaluable public service by alerting us to the dangers of a cockeyed congress and president working against the best interests of We the people, the constituency they are supposed to serve.

While I regret that I will not have the chance to vote for Tom Tancredo for president in 2008, I take pride in the fact that I did vote for the man in 2004. Having had enough of Dubya to last a lifetime, I wrote in the name of Tom Tancredo for President.

That fact can be confirmed with the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters in California. Unless my ballot has been destroyed by an illegal alien working in the Registrar's office!

God bless and keep Tom Tancredo!
