Thread: Tom Tancredo Opens Tea Party Convention

Tom Tancredo Opens Tea Party ConventionMedia frenzy over comments

Dear Friend,

The other night, Tom gave the opening remarks at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville. And the controversy was immediate. Not with attendees, let me clarify; they gave Tom three standing ovations.

He was so great! Speaking from his heart, as Tom always does, he spoke of the Founding Fathers and how they were part of a country divided into three groups--the Patriots, the Tories, and those who didn't care. It is no different today, Tom told the crowd. Today's Patriots, including the attendees of this convention, are fighting for our Republic, our religion and our civilization.

But those that won this election, Obama and his Democratic cronies in Washington, will bring about the destruction of our Republic if they have their way. And then there are those who don't want to get involved in the battle.

We can't worry about those who don't care, Tom said, we must focus on winning this fight. We can do it, but only if we give it everything we have, and not give up until we have won. The stakes are too high for us to do less. But it can be done, and the great spontaneous uprising that has been spawned by Obama and his left wing policies proves we can win!

Tom called for the US to change the law on who can and can not vote. He said in this past election, people who couldn't even spell "vote" or say it in English voted in our election and they voted for Obama, a "committed socialist ideologue." He called for "Civics Literacy" tests for all citizens who want to vote.

It was this paragraph that got most of the press' attention. The media still can't abide any reference to Obama as a Socialist and they were laying in wait to characterize the Tea Party as racist and extremist. But there is no denying the fact that President Obama is a "committed socialist ideologue!"

And no matter how radical the Left attempts to portray Tom, the Tea Party or Americans who went to the town hall meetings and rallies and voted to throw out the Democrats in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts, they can't change the fact that the revolution has begun. And Tom and Team America is going to do everything we can to keep it rolling, and we will not stop until American Patriots have taken the reins of power from the establishment politicians in both parties.

And I know we can count on you to be right by our sides in this battle for the heart and soul of our nation. Tom has been asked by a number of Tea Party leaders to speak to their state conventions and he has agreed to go wherever he can help build this movement.

We will let you know as soon as Tom's speech is up on YouTube, so you can see it for yourself.

I spent several days this week speaking with candidates and their campaigns. I am so impressed with the character, integrity and commitment of these Patriots who are bravely running to replace the arrogant, big-spending career politicians who are destroying this country. Most of those which Team America will be endorsing have never held public office!!

One who has held public office, but we're thrilled to endorse, is one of our heroes-the Mayor of Hazleton, PA, Lou Barletta. This time Lou is headed all the way to Washington where he will emerge as a national champion of real immigration reform as well as fiscal responsibility and smaller, leaner government. If you want to contribute to him, go to his website or give your contribution directly to Team America, and put Lou's name on the comment line. As always, we will send 100% of your contribution to Lou's campaign on your behalf.

Beginning this week you will be hearing more about Lou and the other fantastic candidates we are endorsing--and this year it will include some terrific Senate candidates. I am so encouraged by those who are running--they are boldly outspoken on controversial issues including immigration. I am truly hopeful about the future--with our help I know many of these Patriots will go to Washington and we will be that much closer to taking back our country from the career politicians.

It is an exciting time and Tom and I are sincerely grateful to be able to have your support for all that we do.

My sincerest thanks,

Bay Buchanan

I was actually very disappointed he did that. He should have researched this group better than he did, to see it is just another GOP group pretending to be the tea party movement.

Palin as keynote speaker is cruising around trying to get John Insane re-elected, and Perry from Texas (the dude that gives illegal aliens driver's licenses).

I must say, I lost a lot of respect for Tancredo appearing at that event. Not sure what he was paid, but sure hope it was worth it for him. It sure wasn't worth it for you and I.
