WASHINGTON - Colorado Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo, an outspoken opponent of illegal immigration, will announce his bid for president on Monday.

Tancredo has flirted with a presidential bid for more than a year and began raising money for the effort in January. After taking in more than $1 million in two months, he has decided to make his run official, said the official, who asked not to be named ahead of Tancredo‘s official announcement.

Tancredo spokesman Carlos Espinosa would say only that Tancredo will announce his intentions and that his decision whether to run for president won‘t affect whether he will run again for his House seat.

Tancredo, a five-term House member who represents the Denver suburbs, is a leading supporter of securing the nation‘s Southern border with Mexico and cracking down on illegal immigration. He has used the issue to take on President Bush , , ), a leading contender for the GOP nomination.

McCain last year co-sponsored a bill creating a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country now, though he has played a smaller role in the issue this year.

GOOOOTancredo

Go, Tom, Go!!!!!!!!!

Its On!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO GETTEM'' TANCREDO!!!

We can only hope he runs.
Can you imagine trusting a candidate running for President?

I heard on the news tonight that he was going to announce on Monday but that he wasn't sure that he could win.
Now, is HE saying that? Or is that just a slant that the news is telling.
Because if HE is saying that, then that makes me nervous.
We are at a time where we need a strong determined leader and not a tenative one.
If he is gung ho..I hope he comes out and shows it soon. If he doesn't his support will dry up and move on to someone that is fully there.

(edited because spelling is not my forte)

I think he is determined and really wants to win but the way the system is set up it will be difficult. The msm gives coverage to those with the big financial backers, among other things.
Thank goodness for the internet.
To be continued....

GOOOOOOO TOM!!!!! Your Country NEEDS you!
