Mr. Gilchrist Goes to Washington
By Jan Herron


President Bush and Condoleeza Rice call him a “Vigilante�. American citizens call him a Patriot. Yes, a Patriot is how Jim Gilchrist is seen in the eyes of citizens who want the illegal alien invasion crisis to come to a complete halt.

From coast to coast, American citizens are applauding Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project, for announcing his candidacy to run for Congress in California's 48th District. What a treat for District 48! Telephone lines and e-mails are overwhelmed with the buzz of this announcement.

Gilchrist's brilliant idea of placing Minutemen on the border while defending our country with a cell phone, a lawn chair and a pair of binoculars, was successful beyond measure. Jim Gilchrist, along with co-sponsor Chris Simcox, led an army of about 1,000 concerned citizens in April to the Arizona/Mexico border.

The mission was highly successful and word of its success was seen throughout America that people still care about the sovereignty of their country. Many television personalities including Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly, covered the 30 day long April event and applauded the efforts of these brave American citizens who take the issue of illegal immigration seriously.

Gilchrist, Simcox and their Minutemen brought national awareness to the serious issue of illegal immigration. Citizens answered the call to duty in April of this year to bring attention to our lax immigration laws and the elected and appointed public officials responsible for this dilemma.

Who better to join Congressman Tom Tancredo in fighting the good fight than Jim Gilchrist? Americans are losing their country and it's time they stop tolerating the quislings, traitors and spineless sellouts that place “cheap labor� business interests and desperate pandering to illegal aliens ahead of American citizens and legal immigrants.

It's time to put our money where our mouth is and support Jim Gilchrist in his run for Congress. We must donate our money to those individual candidates that demonstrate resolve and action against the illegal alien invasion. Stop donating your hard-earned money to political parties, organizations and candidates who offer only “lip service� and excuses for serious social and economic issues that will have detrimental effects on current and future generations.

Gilchrist undoubtedly has established a very visible and historical track record of boldly facing the critical issue of chaotic illegal immigration. His agenda is to deal with it head on to achieve a rational and justifiable resolution under the rule of law.

Please join me in sending a contribution to Gilchrist for Congress. With all of our efforts we can send Jim Gilchrist to Washington. He is one of the very few with the courage and conviction to take a proactive stand on issues threatening America's heritage, sovereignty, and the intentional dismantling of the middle class. It's obvious what happened in Vegas, at the Unite to Fight Summit (under the direction of Mark Edwards), did not stay in Vegas. Simply put, let's roll!
