Tancredo wins round 1to build Mexico fence
It was a victory the once-obscure Colorado congressman savored yesterday.
When the House of Representatives passed a tough new border control bill last night, Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo was all smiles.
Tancredo added: "The fact that Congress was forced to discuss immigration reform in itself is a victory for my allies. Such a victory has been years in the making, and credit is due to the millions of Americans who attended town halls, wrote letters to the editor, called talk radio shows, and even defended the border on their own. I thank them whole-heartedly for their efforts, and I am deeply honored by the support they have shown me and my congressional allies."
We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to Rep. Tancredo. Check out his Reform NOW site and send him a thank you!

Every so-called Oregon Republican candidate, for any office in 2006, should get this straight;
Avoid & ignore the immigration issues, including drivers's licenses, election reforms, & "carousels", etc., and the PCP's, the folks who work the phones, raise money,and work for you candidates are gonna IGNORE you if don't wake up now.
I would say that unfortunately a lot of the PCP's and party loyalists, while they have this as an issue, have been brainwashed into a "party first" mentality.
The people who will ignore the candidates are the non-political citizens. The people who are simply tired of everything being in Spanish. The people who are tired of illegal alien drug dealers. The people who are tired of going to the DMV and waiting in line behind 100 people who just came to America yesterday.
Daniel,
Don't be fooled. You are way to smart for that. PCP's have already started a movement to be heard or else.
Stay tuned
The Oregon Republican stands for nothing. They take no public positions.

Early last year, Tom Tancredo floated the idea of taxing wire payments leaving the US. Western Union's parent company noticed and made a small ($2,000 I recall) contribution to his opponent. Tancredo has dropped the idea.
PCP - what does this mean? Please enlighten me.
PCP
Precint Committee Person
Those who do the work
Volunteers
Worker Bees
Piss these folks off, ignore them, and they will not be energized.
RINO'S pay attention

Daniel: Steve is "dead on" correct.
I asked for a review here and at other sites of Mr. Day...I GOT SLAMMED FOR IT.
There better be an answer soon, or we will look worse then the TRAILBLAZERS next election cycle.

PS..Steve deserves a medal.
Too many people think because they have a gripe or an idea that someone else has to do the legwork. You do it.
Lets see TONEY, maybe Day should do it, I ALREADY HAVE.
1. Was neighborhood chair, started all movements towards informing neighborhood associations of this matter, held an attended 50 meeting or more on the issue...some with 200 people.
2. Went to over 80 neighborhood association meetings in almost a year, got a written statement from each of them supporting at least broad notification of these places.
3. Presented this support to the city council twice....dead ears both times!
3. Got a senate bill passed in the 99th session in Salem (SB1040, LOOK IT UP)...It was killed on committee by Kate Brown.
4. Was "hot seat" guest on TOWN Hall tv show, ate Charlie Hales alive for his stupid comments. Jeff Gionola was host, he was so mad at Hales, he could barely talk.
5. At my own expense...flew to DC, lobbying the hill for two days.
6. LASTLY...ended up so pissed off that any elected offical would shirk his first duty to the people that voted for them as they said,"ELECT ME,I'll work this for you. THAT WOULD BE JUST TO NAME A FEW.....DAN SALTZMAN, RANDY LEONARD.
7. Started a recall of Katz
8. Have remained pissed off that someone has to get killed for the lack of foresight on a simple issue...CRIMINALLY INSANE PEOPLE NEED HELP.....IN A CLOSED SECURE PLACE, NOT 400 FT FROM A DAMN GRADE SCHOOL.
Oh by the way..have been on Lars to many times to mention...in WWEEK, WINNERS COLUMN FOR PASSING SB1040.
So, TONY, Your so ill informed and willing to assume something about me...It stinks!
By the way..want one of these places next to you? I CAN HELP, I HAVE THE NUMBER TO CALL.
Vance Day maybe a nice guy..but he is a wimp for sure. Jack Peek
