Tour Update and Latest on the Battle

Dear Friend,

Last night I returned from the first leg of the Secure America Now Tour.
What a whirlwind after hitting Iowa, we traveled 700 miles through
Arizona and New Mexico, and then flew to Reno, NV. Exhausting, yes! But
a fantastic trip! We hit four states, personally spoke with 1200
activists, and spent five hours on countless radio shows getting our
message out to hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Tom was joined by his colleague Congressman Trent Franks and a number of
state legislators for a wild press conference at the State Capital in
Phoenix. The demonstrators were out in force, but nothing Tom couldn't
handle with grace. There was a great crowd for our breakfast in Tucson,
including plenty of press and a handful of demonstrators. Randy Graf, the
TAC endorsed congressional candidate, helped us out at that affair.

Then we headed for the Horseshoe Café in Benson, Arizona, the first of
five more stops for the day, where we could hardly get through the door so
many friends had come out to greet Tom. Then onto Deming, NM where 45
people stood in a parking lot to say hello to Tom as he passed through.
By the time we reached Alamogordo, NM that night, for a town hall meeting
of over 150, Tom's voice was giving out and mine wasn't far behind.

Unfortunately Tom received the sad news that his mother had taken a turn
for the worse after a long illness and he had to fly home to be with her
in her final hours. I went onto Reno alone where I found a packed room of
270 on second floor of a casino. I explained Tom's absence, which they
certainly understood, and gave our message. The enthusiasm in that room
gave me so much hope, especially after so long a trip.

I am in the office tonight finalizing leg two. Next Monday, January 30
the Tour will start out in Atlanta, GA and move through South Carolina and
North Carolina. The details will begin to go up on our website tomorrow.

Now the most important news. The Senate will begin their immigration bill
mark-ups on February 9th. We don't have much time. I sent you a notice
from the Chamber of Commerce forwarded to me by a supporter. I wanted you
to see for yourself what their strategy is! It is exactly as I wrote to
you they will claim they are opposed to amnesty and then claim guest
worker isn't amnesty! It is pure deceit. Every guest worker plan in the
history of our country, and of the world, for that matter has turned into
amnesty! And what's more they used to call it amnesty themselves--until
the polls showed the public totally opposed to amnesty!

Please you and your friends and families and people like you across the
country are our only hope! Get on the phones and get your friends to do
the same. Call your Senators and Congressman and let them know you know
guest worker is nothing but amnesty and that you expect them to pass an
enforcement only bill. It is what America wants and they want it NOW!

Sincerely,

Bay Buchanan
Team America PAC

I did not see that you had posted this. I got the same email.

I was saddened to see that Congressman Tancredo has recently lost his mother.

I am sending a sympathy card care of Team America. It would be nice if we could all do this and let him know we are thinking of him.

Did you guys receive the CD from Tom Tancredo this week? If you go to Team America, see if you can get it. It is going to be very helpful to our cause.

Are you 100% sure she died? Usually the Associated Press jumps on stories about the death of a father or mother of a representative or senator. I haven't seen anything yet about Tancredo's mother dying.

If you read the inital post you will see that his mom had taken a turn for the worse and that he was able to be there at the last.

I replied to Bay and here is her reply....

Thank you for your concern for Tom. If you are interested in sending a
sympathy card you can do so to the following address:

6099 South Quebec Street, Suite 200
Centennial, CO 80111.

Thanks again for writing!

Bay Buchanan

PS

Tom is not in the good graces of either party in my way of thinking much less the media. Think about it, would they want to garner sympathy for the person that they feel is a thorn in their side?

PS -- Tom's wife is Jackie Tancredo

My heart goes out to Congressman Tancredo and his family!

His Mom must have been a great woman to have raised such a wonderful son! We all owe her a debt of gratitude for bringing Tom Tancredo into this world!

I sent my sympathy card today. Lets all let Congressman Tancredo and his family know that we are with them in this difficult time!

I am sure his Mom was very proud of him and is smiling down on him!

Oh flying one, you are SO right. We owe this woman a debt of gratitude for raising a wonderful person of integrity such as Tom Tancredo. It's
the Spirit of Men like that which can bring us hope and therefore bring us victory.

I am saddened to hear this news. He already has so much to bear. He has the mark of greatness to him and greatness has often involved tragedy and heartbreak, no?

I am praying that G-d should strengthen him in this hour.

That is very depressing. May God rest her soul.

I still find it odd that the Associated Press has said nothing.
