Ads Expose Chris Cannon's Support for Illegal Alien Amnesties

Campaign Highlights Inconsistencies Between Record and Rhetoric

WASHINGTON, June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Team America PAC has launched a radio campaign in Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of the campaign is to make Republican Primary voters aware of Representative Chris Cannon's support for illegal alien amnesties and other benefits for illegal aliens even though he represents his record as having been tough on illegal immigration.

On his website, Congressman Cannon claims he's never supported amnesty for illegal aliens and never will. In fact, Cannon has not only supported nine amnesties for illegal aliens, he's actually co-sponsored six amnesties himself. Cannon claims to be tough on illegal immigration yet he's co-sponsored two bills that would reward illegal aliens with in-state tuition. He's voted multiple times against aiding police officers in the apprehension of illegal aliens. Cannon is currently co-sponsoring a bill that protects illegal aliens from prosecution for social security fraud.

Team America' Chairman, Bay Buchanan commented, "Chris Cannon is one of the most pro amnesty congressman in Washington. It is certainly understandable why he would choose to hide his atrocious record on amnesty from his constituents but that in no way justifies the hypocrisy associated with doing so. Utah voters have a right to know if their congressman is deliberately deceiving them, especially on an issue as critical to the nation as illegal immigration."

Team America PAC launched the ad campaign earlier this week in the Salt Lake City market. The radio spots use humor to expose Cannon's claim of being tough on immigration. Throughout the spot the announcer repeatedly asks, "Chris Cannon tough on immigration?" followed by the announcer's description of Chris Cannon's support for an immigration bill that's completely out of synch with most American's views. Over the top crowd laughter then ensues. The radio spot concludes by asking GOP Primary voters to support Cannon's Primary opponent John Jacob "to begin cleaning up the immigration mess Chris Cannon helped make."

An objective list of Cannon's record on illegal immigration would include Cannon's last vote on the subject. Cannon voted for HR4437.

Big deal. Chris Cannon would unquestionably vote for the senate bill too.

My point remains.

John Jacob BEAT Chris Cannon at the convention.

Just so all the readers know...

And no doubt that Jacob money sprikled around at the convention, had nothing to do with his(Jacob's) slim win.

We will all see when the votes are counted on June 27th, by real voters not those influenced by the tancredo/bay buchanan PAC.

It will still be tough for Jacob, but I am hopeful. I am sure that Yapias has illegals registering to vote as I type.

Sensenbrenner is standing against citizenship for illegals. Youll be attacking him sooner or later.

Sheesh. You will stoop to anything.

But, since you want to play that way...

Is your buddy Chris Cannon mad that he doesn't have any money left to "sprinkle around" because of his poor business dealings?

Will you quit that already?

And no doubt that Jacob money sprikled around at the convention, had nothing to do with his(Jacob's) slim win.

We will all see when the votes are counted on June 27th

I quote myself:

"Jacob most likely won't win. Everyone knows that. Cannon is better known, better funded, the incumbent and the favorite of the media (like the paper you posted this article from.) But in the last race (2004) Cannon only got 58% of the vote (low for incumbent house members in primaries) and that is when there was a primary for the governor's mansion, drawing out more republicans. That won't happen this time, the interest is low, meaning the more conservative and dedicated will vote. I'm willing to bet they break for Jacob, but not likely enough for a win. But a Cannon lose will unquestionably send shock waves through the GOP establishment in Washington and hopefully move them to the right on this issue."

Cher called in to C-SPAN's Washington Journal to voice her passionate opinions about troops' helmet safety. Cher! And that wasn't the most surprising part! It was the second or third time she's phoned in. No no, even that wasn't the most surprising part. Cher calmly threw in, "One of my best friends is Lou Dobbs..." What?

Cannon supports almost none of its provisions.

Probably accurate.

By the way--if Cannon holds on, it will only be because Jacob failed to run the right kind of campaign. Just my opinion.

Because if he hadn't voted for it he wouldn't even stand a chance this year.

House members are up for re-election every two years. The HR4437 vote was roughly one year before the election. This is not like the senate where they are up for re-election every six years. All time periods for House members are a time where they must vote for something else they may not get re-elected.

I've given you one major vote by Cannon that is against support for amnesty of illegal aliens.

Document any vote by Cannon that is in support of amnesty for illegal aliens since his last election.
