I believe Smack was defeated in the primary, so the race is between Dean Heller (R) and Jill Derby (D).

From the letters I've received from Heller, and the fact that he's a member of the House Immigration Reform Caucus started by Tancredo, I'm fairly certain he shares ALIPAC's views on illegal immigration. I suggest that ALIPAC endorse Heller.

Heller's immigration report card grade is an "A" according to this page at NumbersUSA:

William, I want to say to you that I live in GA & will be working to unseat the incumbents who voted for this bailout, one & all. I am a conservative voting no party in particular.

That is why I wish to ask whether we ought to support John Barrow's opposition in the 12th district for Congress. Barrow isn't perfect on illegal immigration, I know. But he DID remain staunchly opposed to this bailout & that must count for MUCH. He proved that he listens to his constituents. Don't be quick to dismiss this fact. We don't KNOW we can expect the same from his opponent, do we??

What say you, William?

Saxby Chambliss is up for reelection in the Senate. I will ask his Dem. challenger about his stance on immigration matters. Tell me, William, do you know much about him?

But, even if the Dem's not that great, what kind of signal does it send if Chambliss & others like him aren't removed from office for this abuse of their constituents?

Abuse that is rewarded just breeds more abuse.

ALSO, my US rep. is John Lewis (11th district) who is AWFUL! Nobody is running against him. Can you let me know who I can write-in against him??

Duncan D. Hunter (R) Ca.
Capt. USMCR
52nd Congressional district San Diego co.
Campaign HQ
9340 Fuerte dr. suite 302
La Mesa Ca.
91941
(619) 463-3896

Capt. Hunter is against amnesty and the bailout. I have met and talked with Capt. Hunter and concider him to be a unassuming sincere man.
He has my vote.

Here are the Top 10 Most Expensive races so far this year, from OpenSecrets dot Org:

http://www.opensecrets.org/overview/topraces.php

Here's what I glean when I combine the wikipedia list and the opensecrets list:

CT-4
LA-6
WA-8

Of special interest: Two of the most expensive races are in New York, with Gillibrand and Arcuri, two freshman Democrats who both co-sponsored the Save Act, but neither has signed the Discharge Petition.

That Louisiana 6 District has Cazayoux, who also cosponsored SAVE without signing discharge petition. Numbers USA says this guy has a "career" D- grade on "immigration reduction", which I can't wrap my head around because I think he only recently won a special election over the summer. That really makes me think twice about paying attention to Numbers USA.

In any case, there have to be GOP challengers to these 3 candidates worth investigating and possibly endorsing.

Maryland
http://www.baileyforuscongress.com/

Collins Bailey for US House of Representatives, Maryland 5th District (200. The seat has been represented by Democrat and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer since 1981.

This is Collins Bailey's stance on Immigration:

All welfare and government services for persons here illegally should be cut off. There must be a federal program available to states and local jurisdictions for immediate deportation of those who are a threat to our society.

For those that would prefer to see the steps that need to be taken in bullet form:

physically secure our borders and coastlines
enforce visa rules
no amnesty
no welfare for illegal aliens
end "anchor" baby abuse
pass true immigration reform
no Social Security for illegal immigrants. Currently, illegal immigrants are able to collect Social Security after they have worked 18 months in this country.

Speaking to him is like preaching to the choir. His loyalty is to the American people. He is a war hero who put his men before his career. The man he is running against is exactly the type of useless liberal nut we need to vote out. In my mind it is imperative that West win this election. Please help make any friends you have in So Fla CD 22 aware of him. He is a staunch opponent to illegal immigration and amnesty and the general destruction of our country that we are facing. The polar opposite of his opponent. He is also very clear on the threat Islam poses to the West. His website is http://www.allenwestforcongress.com/ and you can also view him speaking about VISION here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qSnRlmo7og his youtube channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/AllenWest08

Lets get this man elected!!!!

West is listed in Numbers as a "True Immigration Reform Candidate" hope he makes it!!

This sounds to good to be true, lets hope people down there are mad enough to vote this jerk out of office....try to push the fact he voted for the bail out in every paper you can...30 days only, but people have short memories.

Sestak took over the seat held by Curt Weldon and has consistently ignored the will of his constituents and voted party lines on everthing from illegal immigration to the war in Iraq. He publicly stated that "this war can't be won". He is for border security and opposes any form of amnesty. He is worth endorsing. The link to his site is:

Joseph Sestak has a C- rating at Numbersusa....but his challenger sounds like he is for path to citizenship...here is what he says....
http://www.numbersusa.com/content/

I have enormous respect and compassion for individuals seeking a better life in our great nation by way of legal immigration. This is part of our proud heritage, and it certainly will be part of our lasting legacy. Conversely, I feel equally passionate about the need to secure our borders and put an end to illegal immigration.

We are a nation rooted in the rule of law. We are compassionate and just. We, however, injure ourselves when we ignore or disregard the rule of law by tolerating, harboring and even employing illegal immigrants. We need to reclaim control of our borders with surveillance and steel. Illegal immigrants who remain in the United States must be subject to the consequences of the laws they have broken.

We must accomplish the following:

Secure the border first, using every asset available and all the manpower required at the federal level;
Oppose amnesty in any of its currently proposed forms;
Welcome legal immigration and extend the privilege of United States citizenship by assisting applicants in the learning of English;
Reward those applicants who demonstrate a willingness to assimilate into our communities and become productive, law-abiding citizens; and
Enforce the rule of law and prosecute illegal aliens, making their path to citizenship secondary to those pursuing the proper path.

Nothing like talking out both sides of your mouth and trying to make it sound like you are on both sides

Who's running against Lindsey Graham? I think I'd vote for Hugo Chavez or Osama Bin Laden over that traitor - at least they're up front about their ambitions.
