Adios Amigo! Jason Chaffetz Beats Chris Cannon in a
Landslide!
The King of Amnesty is dead. On tuesday, Team America candidate
Jason Chaffetz defeated La Raza Republican
Chris Cannon by over twenty points! Team America raised over
$25,000 for Jason who used the money to make it clear to the voters of
Utah that he stood for securing the borders and enforcing our laws,
while Cannon stood for amnesty.
Chris Cannon has long been one of our top
targets. He’s sponsored over half a
dozen amnesty
bills, and has won awards from MALDEF and La
Raza for his pro-amnestyrecord. We supported his challengers in 2004 and 2006,
but they were both weak. He managed to
squeak by at the last minute by posing as a restrictionist. He was
up to his old tricks again this year--running ads saying, “Cannon wants
to
replace 'catch and release' with 'catch and deport.'" But as
Honest
Abe said, “you can’t fool all the people all the time” and Jason
Chaffetz was
able to stand strong. He told the
voters, that Chris Cannon “gets tough on immigration about two weeks
before an
election. That's it." The voters listened, and they sent Chris Cannon
packing
With your support, we’ve sent a clear
message to
Congress: If you vote for amnesty, you
will
lose your job! This is a huge victory,
but we still have a lot of workleft to do.
There are many other great candidates like Jason Chaffetz
who need your
help. Please contribute to Team America
so we can build off this victory.
Help Us Save E-Verify
E-Verify, an internet-based system operated
jointly by the Department of
Homeland Security and Social Security Administration, is our most
effective tool to stop illegal immigration. It
allows businesses to check the legal
status of its employees—accurately, cheaply, and timely. It
only takes seconds to get the answer! It has been
made mandatory for all employers in Arizona, and many employers in
other states like South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennesee,and Georgia.
The illegals are leaving those states in droves. Last week,
George Bush signed an executive order that requires all federal
contractors to use E-Verify. We don't know why he suddenly
decided to enforce the law, but we're happy he did.
This is all in Jeopardy
because E-Verify is set to expire at the end of November. If it
is not renewed, all our hardwork and progress made on both the state
and federal level will be reversed. Some legislators are offering
an alternative to E-Verify called The New Employee Verification Act
[NEVA.] While it purports to support enforcement, it will nullify
all the state laws that clamp down on employers!
ACT NOW: Call up your
representatives and demand that they support enforcing the law through
E-Verify. [you can either call the Capital Switchboard at (202)
224-3121 and ask for your representative or click here to get their
direct lines] Tell your Senator to support and co-sponsor the
Electronic Employment Verification Reauthorization Act
(S-3093.) Tell your congressman to sign the discharge
petition for the SAVE Act--which will make E-Verify mandatory
nationwide-- and to cosponsor and tell their leadership to support H.R.
5596 to To extend the
basic pilot program for employment eligibility confirmation. Tell them
that NEVA is not an alternative because it is untested, does not verify
that all workers are legally present, and will nullify state an local
laws against illegal aliens.
More on E-Verify
We are pleased announce our weekly e-newsletter Immigration
Alert. Every Friday, we will send out the latest news-the
good, the bad, and the ugly-in our fight to secure our borders, enforce
our laws, and protect our sovereignty. In this edition of
Immigration Alert, we look at McCain's new low in pandering, a new
level of hypocrisy from the open borders lobby, and how Latin
American Consulates are teaming up to undermine our laws.
