John Fleming

While November 4 was a big dissapointment for patriotic Americans, it was not the last election in 2008.  The runoff for the the Fourth District of Louisiana was delayed because of a hurricane; so the election was not held until December 6.  Team America Candidate John Fleming won his election by a nose! Fleming ran as a tough secure the borders, anti-amnesty candidate. His platform called for ending birthright citizenship, deporting illegal alien criminals, rejecting all amnesties, and building the fence on the Mexican Border.  We will build on this momentum to fight against amnesty in the 111th Congress.

Team America has helped defeat Proposition 202, the deceptively titled "Stop Illegal Hiring" Act in Arizona.  Despite the name, the measure would have stripped Arizona's tough workforce enforcement law of its teeth, and given amnesty to Arizona's employers of illegal aliens.  Because of the name, many patriotic Arizonans initially supported the measure--with polls showing it up 2 to 1.  Then Team America helped fund ads across the state featuring State Senator Russell Pearce who was the author of the State's "Legal Arizona Workers Act" that would be voided by the "Stop Illegal Hiring" fraud.  The Proposition was then overwhelmingly defeated by voters by 60% to 40%!

Team America Commentary

Bay Buchanan: Sarah Barracuda, Where are You?

Who in the world is in charge of Sarah Palin? They should be fired, preferably without pay. They have absolutely no appreciation for who Sarah is, completely clueless as to why America fell in love with her. In their ignorance and stupidity they have buried the Sarah that warmed our hearts only weeks ago and replaced her with a hesitant, overly-scripted candidate who projects none of her trademark confidence.

Tom Tancredo: Arizona's Sham Initiative

The opponents of immigration enforcement have stooped to a new low in Arizona with their latest attempt to undermine the state's workplace verification laws. After exhausting their usual tactics, they are resorting to outright and intentional deception of the voters

Marcus Epstein: Arizona's Prop. 202: Treason Lobby Wolf Donning Sheep's Clothing

Aggressive mimicry is a biological strategy where a predator or parasite will imitate a harmless or even helpful species to help attract their their prey-Aesop's fable about a wolf donning sheep's clothing was well-observed. This tactic is currently being used by the Treason Lobby in Arizona in an attempt to undermine the state's tough laws against employers of illegal aliens.

Team America PAC Keeps Gayle Harrell in the Race for Fl 16

From Congressional Quarterly -- Harrell, meanwhile, appears to be very much in the running, in part because she has rallied support from some conservatives based on her tough position on illegal immigration. In recent weeks, she has corralled support from activists focused on reducing illegal immigration, including the Team America Political Action Committee, founded by Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo

Chris Cannon Loses to Immigration Hawk

From Townhall: Bay Buchanan, chairman of the Team America PAC sent, out a glowing email to PAC supporters to praise his Chaffetz's win. "Friends, Jason ran a great campaign on out of control spending, immigration, and $4 gas," she wrote. "Bottom line: he pounded Cannon on abandoning conservative principles and for abandoning America in the battle against illegal immigration, and he won in one of the most Republican districts in America."

Reccomended Op Eds

lest we get to thinking that the upcoming recession (or is it "depression"?) will finally provoke legislation to solve the immigration crisis here, be aware those who want Open Borders are still lurking and planning.

Michelle Malkin: Immigration and the Mortgage Mess

The Mother of All Bailouts has many fathers... But there's one giant paternal elephant in the room that has slipped notice: how illegal immigration, crime-enabling banks and open-borders Bush policies fueled the mortgage crisis.
