Dear Friends,


We did it! Today we broke our goal of one million dollars in contributions! I can’t tell you how excited and encouraged I am. The incredible outpouring of support that I have received has honestly astounded me. To know that you will be with me, along with tens of thousands of others, and that we will have the funds to run an effective grass roots campaign is what I needed to know before I made a final decision.



And there is more great news! I have asked my good friend Bay Buchanan to come aboard the campaign and she has agreed to be the campaign’s senior adviser. She’s had many years of experience on the presidential campaign trail--both with President Reagan and her brother Pat. She will be a remarkable asset to my campaign. I wanted you to be the first to know. The press release on this news will go out tomorrow.



I'm off to Iowa for the weekend where immigration is driving the debate. I'll let you know how it goes. In fact I promise to send you regular updates from the trail. And when I can’t, I know Bay will. Thank you for all your help.



My best,

Tom Tancredo



P.S. A note about the e-mail I had sent earlier this evening. The Democrats and the President are going to try to push for yet another amnesty that will provide a path to citizenship to people who have broken the law. They never get it. I want you to know I will be fighting to stop it with all my strength.
