Rep. Cannon Finally Fails To Hide Amnesty Record

One of Pres. Bush’s most stalwart allies for illegal-alien amnesties was punished by voters yesterday, losing his Republican primary in a landslide

Rep. Chris Cannon — who lost in a 60%-40% Primary election landslide yesterday — had survived several previous Primary challenges by fooling enough people into believing that he was not really an amnesty champion.

His loss should strike some fear into the 362 Members of Congress (68%) who have Amnesty grades of D+ or worse but who nearly all claim to voters that they do NOT support amnesties for illegal aliens.

These amnesty supporters say that they oppose amnesty. When asked to define amnesty, they usually say it would be the granting of AUTOMATIC BLANKET citizenship WITHOUT ANY PENALTIES, FINES OR REQUIREMENTS.

Cannon usually tried to claim that the amnesty bills he championed were really just GUESTWORKER bills that allowed illegal aliens to become guest workers. He conveniently left out that nearly all the “guests” would be allowed to remain in the U.S. permanently and eventually to apply for citizenship.

Cannon and the rest of the amnesty supporters have been quite successful in getting the news media to go along with this charade. Even the Associated Press story on Cannon’s election loss refers to his bills as being about guestworkers!

With the help of the news media, the amnesty champions have been able to confuse enough voters with their deceptive ads and speeches to survive most challenges to their pro-amnesty record.

But not this time for Cannon.

All anti-amnesty Americans should take great hope out of this and multiply their efforts in their own Congressional Districts to force the truth out about their own pro-amnesty Members of Congress this year…
