I just ran for congress in the Seventh Congressional District of Tennessee. I quit my job and campaigned for four months solid. My platform was "Stop Illegal Immigration." It was printed on all my literature and on all of my road signs, large and small. I talked to thousands of people, six days a week, from daylight to beyond dark. People seemed to like me as I met a lot of good people with whom I got along famously.
I distributed 54,000 campaign cards in all fifteen TN counties in this very conservative Republican district. I am confident I talked to more people than all six of my opponents combined. I gave passionate speeches at every candidate forum and was often told my speeches were the best. None of my opponents wanted to touch illegal immigration.
Last Thursday, August 1st, I received 625 votes total in the primary election. The winner had more than 35,000 votes.
I am very proud to have stood tall for American sovereignty but you can see it is too late to solve this problem in politics. I believe this problem will end up in the streets and it will be ugly.
I'm sorry that you lost but I have a number of questions. What type of reception did you receive when you spoke of the problem - are people concerned or are they easily cowed by the politically correct? Were your opponents financed by those who benefit from illegal immigration? Was there a media blackout on the issues that you raised?
When the problem gets to street resolve, the United Nations will come in and settle the problem.
Sleep well and a big THANK YOU for your attempt at helping fix it.
