Excerpts from an article in The New American for 13 June 2005 about Congressman Cannon:
Cannon described as “...a congressional point man for the Bush administration’s illegal immigration amnesty scheme,...”
“By way of contrast (with Colorado Congressman Tancredo), Rep. Cannon’s relationship with the “Reconquista Lobby” - foundation funded, open borders groups like the Mexican - American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) and La Raza - is close kindred to treason. In March 2003, Cannon hellped create the U.S. - Mexico Political Caucus. In a June 6, 2002 speech to a gathering of MALDEF, where he received the group’s “Excellence in Leadership” award, Cannon declared: “We love immigration in Utah....And we don’t oftentimes make the distinction between legal and illegal.”
“It apparently hasn’t occurred to Cannon that all congressmen (himself included) swore an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, not the platform of the GOP, the policies of the president, or the whims of foreign lobbies like MALDEF. Agitating on behalf of abolilshing our national borders may be “consistent with the Republican Party” as led by George Bush, but it’s hardly consistent with that solemn oath of office.”
In my opinion, the voters in Utah have gotten what they deserve for choosing Cannon over Throckmorton while walking in darkness at noonday. And we here in Arizona have done little better. But in Utah there is a much higher percentage of people who are obligated to “befriend” the US Constitution by seeking and supporting candidates who also “befriend” the Constitution.
A study of http://www.thenewamerican.com/fo.../index.htm will show a recent record of Cannon’s unconstitutional voting record in the House of Representatives. To give you an idea of what a phoney he is, Cannon has joined and organization established in Congressman Ron Paul called The Liberty Committee (thelibertycommittee.org) which is supposed to organize support for the US Constitution in Congress, and yet he consistently proposes and supports unconstitutional legislation. I consider Cannon as I do Senator Hatch: phoney as a $3 bill.
