Ads Expose Chris Cannon's Support for Illegal Alien Amnesties

Campaign Highlights Inconsistencies Between Record and Rhetoric

WASHINGTON, June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Team America PAC has launched a radio campaign in Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of the campaign is to make Republican Primary voters aware of Representative Chris Cannon's support for illegal alien amnesties and other benefits for illegal aliens even though he represents his record as having been tough on illegal immigration.

On his website, Congressman Cannon claims he's never supported amnesty for illegal aliens and never will. In fact, Cannon has not only supported nine amnesties for illegal aliens, he's actually co-sponsored six amnesties himself. Cannon claims to be tough on illegal immigration yet he's co-sponsored two bills that would reward illegal aliens with in-state tuition. He's voted multiple times against aiding police officers in the apprehension of illegal aliens. Cannon is currently co-sponsoring a bill that protects illegal aliens from prosecution for social security fraud.

Team America' Chairman, Bay Buchanan commented, "Chris Cannon is one of the most pro amnesty congressman in Washington. It is certainly understandable why he would choose to hide his atrocious record on amnesty from his constituents but that in no way justifies the hypocrisy associated with doing so. Utah voters have a right to know if their congressman is deliberately deceiving them, especially on an issue as critical to the nation as illegal immigration."

Team America PAC launched the ad campaign earlier this week in the Salt Lake City market. The radio spots use humor to expose Cannon's claim of being tough on immigration. Throughout the spot the announcer repeatedly asks, "Chris Cannon tough on immigration?" followed by the announcer's description of Chris Cannon's support for an immigration bill that's completely out of synch with most American's views. Over the top crowd laughter then ensues. The radio spot concludes by asking GOP Primary voters to support Cannon's Primary opponent John Jacob "to begin cleaning up the immigration mess Chris Cannon helped make."

No. Say it isn't so. Are you saying that Vidkun Dane is spreading more lies and smears about a conservative Republican candidate on a conservative forum?

I can relate to what John Jacob did. As an attorney, I myself donated more than $30,000 worth of work pro bono to assist a Guatemalan father to be reunited legally with his wife and daughters in the United States.

Like John Jacob and Tom Tancredo, I am unyieldingly opposed to what Chris Cannon is trying to do to our immigration laws.

1. Tony Yapias is a Democrat.
2. Tony Yapias Organized the marches and Strikes in SLC.
3. Tony Yapias is pretty much the number one Illegal alien advocate in Utah.
4. Tony Yapias is supporting Chris Cannon for Congress.

So, what you're saying, is that Vidkun here is not only spreading lies and slander to attack a good conservative Republican candidate, but he's spreading lies and slander invented by marxist Democrats to attack conservative Republicans. And he's using Free Republic, a conservative forum, to do it.

La Raza?......."Dream act?"

That's enough evidence for me too.

This guy should be selling apples on a street corner.

Get the bum out of office.

Chris Cannon was one of the House managers who spearheaded the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton. I met him at a FreeRepublic rally in DC. I thought he was one of the good guys.

Chris Cannon has ALWAYS been for open borders. He is the godfather of the open borders movement in Congress.

"..believe animus filled propaganda"..

Propaganda? Huh? Can you say "Dream Act"? Check this out, Dane.

At this years annual gala, NCLR (La Raza) will honor Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Congressman Chris Cannon (R-UT) for their leadership on legislation that has had a significant impact on the Hispanic community, and the Llano Grande Center for Research and Development" a community-based organization located in Elsa, Texas " for providing education and youth leadership programs along the Texas-Mexico border.

He is but these two,


tom tancredo and bay buchanan

are bitter spiteful people who think of nothing of backstabbing good conservatives such as,


Mike Pence

and
Chris Cannon

My opinion I would rather go with James Sensenbrenner who has given a big endorsement to Chris Cannon, than bay buchanan sock puppet tom tancredo.

Bay Buchanan is an employee of Tom Tancredo's Team America PAC. How you get that Tom is somehow conservative Republican Bay Buchanan's "sock puppet" demonstrates just how delusional you are.

And he's using Free Republic, a conservative forum, to do it."

That is exactly what I am saying. Yapias invented the story, spread it around in an effort to hurt John Jacob and keep his pro-illegal buddy Chris Cannon in congress.

From here:


Simon Jay, left, Russell Sias, Wally McCormick, Thom Clark and Tony Yapias at the Minuteman protest.

Latino community activist Tony Yapias, who monitored the protest, sparked some reaction from the Minutemen when he passed out a recent Anti-Defamation League report that some anti-immigration groups are reaching out to white supremacists.

Yapias, a naturalized citizen from Peru, said "it's offensive" that a few Minutemen confronted him, saying "his Mexican government" is corrupt.

"I wasn't trying to tell them they are racist," Yapias said. "They are targeting a specific race, 'my people' according to them. . . . It's targeting an ethnic group, the Latinos here."

The Minutemen accused Yapias of "playing the race card."

Now why would this guy support Chris Cannon? Hmm. Dane, please, I'm be serious, why?

I have personally met both Rep. Tom Tancredo and Bay Buchanan. They are far from being bitter and spiteful.

Now, as to backstabbing good conservative Republicans, how about your behavior in constantly slandering good conservative Republican Tom Tancredo using the lies invented by his leftist Democrat opponents? How about your use of the lies and smears against good conservative John Jacob invented by a marxist Democrat who supports open borders advocate Chris Cannon? Pot. Kettle. Black.

Again, it's the new, detailed Cannon - a good thing, says House Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis. "What I can say is, in Congress there are workhorses and showhorses," Sensenbrenner says. "Chris Cannon is the workhorse. Workhorses get things done in Congress."

A big endorsement from James Sensenbrenner for Chris Cannon.

I'm expecting the backstabbers at tancredo/bay buchanan central(teamamerica PAC) are already plotting how to smear good conservative James Sensenbrenner.

Tepid.

Smears? Well there's your use of the outright smears and lies concocted by marxist Democrat opponents of good conservative Republicans Tom Tancredo and John Jacob.

Uh more like a glowing endorsement from good conservative James Sensenbrenner, especially the contrast of workhorse Chris Cannon, with showhorse and bay buchanan sock puppet tom tancredo.

Mike Pence can't be feeling too betrayed considering Pence is one of the 98 members of Tancredo's immigration reform caucus.

No, it looks like she is sitting behind Rep. Tancredo in Schieffelin Hall in April of 2005. She was joined by a number of Minuteman Project organizers and speakers at the kick off meeting of the Minuteman Project. I was in attendance at that very meeting. That was where I met Bay Buchanan. I've met Rep. Tom Tancredo on several other occasions.

That you can concoct an allegation that conservative Republican Bay Buchanan is controlling conservative Republican Tom Tancredo based upon one single photo, about which you know nothing, is further proof of your delusional nature. Seek treatment.

bay buchanan is a "conservative Republican"?

Whew you all are just as bad as the revisionist history liberals.

I guess bay buchanan running her brother's 2000 Reform party campaign has been erased.

But keep on posting Spiff, the more you post the more silly you look.
