*Anything for the illegal, Dane,... as usual.



In recent days, supporters of the guest worker program, particularly nurseries, have pumped $36,500 into Cannon's campaign, enabling him to buy advertising time and pour money into get-out-the-vote operations.
Groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Nursery and Landscape Association, and the National Restaurant Association have contributed $5,000 each to Cannon in the last week, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.

Oh why yes according to your hero John Jacob, the below must be the work of satan.

He's never had one, he just wants the party to toss it's allegiance to Mexico.

Cannon has not flip- flopped in illegal immigrtion at all---he's for it full bore and and open borders is his goal. He leads the Pubbies in Congress to make sure that illegals get amnesty. If he were in my district, he would not get my vote.

" Oh why yes according to your hero John Jacob, the below must be the work of satan."

I have no particular interest in seeing either of them advance, but I think your perspective on immigration is equal to suicide.

Muchless you have a continual fad of mind-creations (e.g John being my hero), probably due to the fact you're a moron. I would say a great deal of people have concluded that.

Sacrifice a few for the good of many. We HAVE to get this point across. Bye bye Chris.

If Cannon sucessfully defends his seat this time, he'll simply face another primary battle beginning the day after the election.

This race has been getting tighter and tighter with each primary challlenge. Cannon is losing more and more influence and more and more money every cycle. He's bleeding to death.

Conservatives in the Third District will not rest until he is out on his illegal-alien loving rear end.

For those in Utah, 3rd Congressional District who have not decided here is a reminder. This is from a person who lives in a state that has been destroyed by illegal immigration. Cannon wants you, the taxpayer, to pay for the illegal immigrants and their dependents who come to this country.Illegal immigrants are destroying your childrens future by taking resources that would pay for quality education and health care. Look at California and see the damage illegal immigrants has done to that state. You do not want your beautiful state to end up like California. Don't vote for a candidate who supports the "California experiment". Support the candidate who will put the brakes on illegal immigration.

Constitution Party is also running Jim Noorlander.

Noorlander is an impressive individual. Very impressive, and highly principled.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Feb 9, 2005

NCLR TO HONOR DEMOCRAT SENATOR CHRISTOPHER DODD, CONGRESSMAN CHRIS CANNON, AND THE LLANO GRANDE CENTER AT 2005 CAPITAL AWARDS GALA

Washington, DC – The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., will hold its 2005 Capital Awards Dinner at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC on Tuesday, March 8. At this year’s annual gala, NCLR will honor Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Congressman Chris Cannon (R-UT) for their leadership on legislation that has had a significant impact on the Hispanic community, and the Llano Grande Center for Research and Development – a community-based organization located in Elsa, Texas – for providing education and youth leadership programs along the Texas-Mexico border.

“Senator Dodd is one of the most loyal and committed supporters of the Latino community,” said Janet Murguia, NCLR President and CEO. “He has worked tirelessly to protect the civil rights of all Americans and has been a champion for early child education, leading the debate to expand the Head Start program and provide universal access to preschool.”

Murguia continued, “NCLR is also pleased to honor Representative Cannon, who, despite pressure from extremist anti-immigrant forces, has fought resolutely for comprehensive immigration reform. We commend Congressman Cannon especially for his work as chief House sponsor of the ‘Dream Act.’ If passed, the ‘Dream Act’ would open the doors to college for the children of undocumented immigrants – many of whom have lived in the U.S. their entire lives, excelled, and even become honor roll students in their U.S. high schools.”

NCLR will also present the Public Service Award to the Llano Grande Center for Research and Development for its success in building strong leaders in south Texas. “NCLR is proud to highlight the amazing work of the Llano Grande Center, which has placed more than 50 students in Ivy League universities since 1993,” said Murguia. “Its outstanding programs are models for other immigrant communities throughout the country.” Sonia Manzano, acclaimed for her work as “Maria” on Sesame Street, will serve as Master of Ceremonies at the gala event, and entertainment will include a performance by Latin Jazz All-Stars. Citigroup is the Chair sponsor for the event, and the Fannie Mae Foundation and Frito- Lay, Inc./PepsiCo Inc. are the Vice Chairs.

For tickets and table information, please contact Fernanda Tilleria at (800) 311-NCLR. Members of the media interested in attending should contact Alexandra Jost at (202) 785-1670.

Knowing that Cannon is allied with La Raza, an extremist Hispanic organization which supports unrestricted illegal immigration, would you vote for him?

"Actually among voters who count in this closed primary race, registered Republicans, Canoon leads Jacob 60-35..."

That's registered voters. What counts are likely votes.

Cannon didn't even get 60% in 2004 when he spent 600,000 to his republican primary opponent's 80,000. But be delusional if you want.

Cannon will win, just not by much. A Jacob win would be nice.
