Tom Tancredo for president in 2008?
He's a maverick. He marches to the beat of his own drummer. He's not afraid to criticize members of his own party – including his president. And that's what I love about him.And Farah may be right. I too have been thinking of Tancredo as a candidate, if he can stand strong on his positions. If he is obscure in any ways, it's because the MSM doubtless wants him to be. That's why we've to do our best to make him as visible as possible in the political field, and time to start is now.
There is no one else in Congress or in national public life who has provided better leadership on the No. 1 national-security issue confronting the United States – the border and immigration policy.
Tancredo's prescription isn't radical – though it might seem that way based on the reaction of the Big Media and establishment politicians in both parties. What Tancredo is advocating are common-sense principles being implemented in nations all over the world – including in supposedly "progressive" Europe.
You can read about his plan for turning America around in his new book, "In Mortal Danger – The Battle for America's Border and Security" – published by WND Books. You can encourage him to make the run by buying it. You can raise his visibility as a national spokesman by sharing it with your friends. You can make your voice heard in Washington and around the country by making it a best seller.
It's real simple. A nation without borders ceases to be a nation. That is the threat we face with as many as 20 million illegal aliens already here and more pouring over the border every day.
I believe this is such a hot-button issue with the American people that Tancredo, a distinguished but otherwise obscure member of the House of Representatives, could actually win.
But even if he doesn't win, it is imperative that the issues he raises get a national debate before 2008. The chickens have come home to roost. This issue I have been writing about for years is now on the front burner. Much of the credit belongs to Tancredo. He has done an admirable job winning over many colleagues in the House.
However, it may take a national political campaign to save this country from the looming disaster illegal immigration and open borders represent.
That's why I am urging Tom Tancredo to make the run. I simply don't know of any other candidate in a position to make the case effectively.
Will he do it?
We need to encourage Tom Tancredo to gear up, raise the money he needs to get his campaign going, start organizing. We need to let him know we will back him. And we need to mean it.
Tancredo may be the candidate who can turn things around for the better in the US, by standing strong against the moonbats seeking to wreck the world, and if he can then that's why he's the one to look to as a presidential candidate.

Thanks. Tancredo may be just the champion we need right now.
