It’s official, Tom Tancredo is now the American Constitution Party’s candidate for governor and he needs your money.
In his announcement Thursday, Tancredo bashed the two GOP gubernatorial candidates, connected Hickenlooper to Obama and still was able to work in a plea for donations.
“Dear fellow conservative,
As a longtime partner with me in the battle to secure our nation’s borders and stop the scourge of illegal immigration, I want you to be among the first to know that this week I filed my papers as a candidate for governor of Colorado.
I am running for governor in part because the leading Republican candidates for governor are both enmeshed in serious ethical and financial scandals that not only reflect badly on their character, but that are so bad they also guarantee the election of the Democratic candidate, liberal Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper.
And John Hickenlooper, just like Barack Obama, is committed to the “sanctuary” and open
border policies that have made Colorado a front-line state in the illegal immigration wars!
As a Coloradan, I can’t stand by and let the ethical failings of the leading Republican candidates just hand the governorship over to a Democrat who is wrong on every single issue of importance to our state…not just illegal immigration, but also taxes and government spending.
Today, as a patriot who shares my commitment to the cause of reclaiming our nation for our people and our values, I am asking you to join my campaign.
Will you help me by making an online contribution to “Tancredo for Governor 2010?” With just three months to go until the election, time is of the essence!
The maximum contribution you can make under Colorado law is $525. If you can make a contribution for $525 today, I would be so grateful because that would really kick off our campaign dramatically!
But I also would be grateful for your contribution of $400, $250, $100 or even $50 today. John Hickenlooper has been running for governor for months and I need to hit the ground running this week!
Colorado is facing many challenges today, just like most states. I served in the Colorado Legislature for ten years before going to Congress, and I know how to make state government work for the people by applying solid conservative principles of governance.
And as the battle over illegal immigration has moved from Washington DC to the states, it is going to be critically important to our cause to elect men and women as governors who are committed to standing up against Barack Obama and enforcing our laws against illegal immigration.
We are seeing a great example of that commitment to the rule of law in Arizona, and I can pledge to you that I will fight that same battle in Colorado!
I deeply appreciate your friendship and your commitment to our cause. I hope that you will stand with me once again.”
