In a rousing address to hundreds of supporters of Minuteman Founder Jim Gilchrist packing the Irvine Marriott Hotel yesterday, former UN Ambassador Alan Keyes strongly endorsed Gilchrist's candidacy for Congress to fill the vacant seat in Orange County's 48th District.
Keyes, whose speech was met with thunderous applause and several standing ovations, chastised the political establishment "experts" who failed to protect American national security on 9/11, during the recent Hurricane Katrina disaster, and for years along the Mexican-American border.
Keyes urged the voters of the 48th District to elect Jim Gilchrist to Congress and send Washington a message that it's the government's role to serve the people and not the other way around. He applauded the initiative taken by Gilchrist and other American citizens to form the Minuteman Project and assist the border patrol to do its job to keep the borders secure.
"Our government should have wholeheartedly embraced the offer of the Minuteman Project to help our border patrol," declared Keyes.
Keyes added that it is the dedicated citizens of this country, as exemplified by Jim Gilchrist, who should be trusted to address the tough issues of our time and protect the interests of Americans, rather than the political elite and establishment experts who have failed our nation time and time again.
Ambassador Keyes was the featured speaker at the Gilchrist rally in Irvine yesterday afternoon that celebrated the one year anniversary of the Minuteman Project. Later that evening, he was the guest of honor at a reception on behalf of the Gilchrist Campaign at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Phillips, on a private island in Newport Beach.
Wow! The whole circus has come to town. First Tancredo (who no doubt issued a press release to announce his forthcoming press release) and now Keyes. Ron Paul would make it the trifecta.
