TANCREDO CURRENT - NOT MUCH BETTER

*


I cannot include as much text here, since the files are all pdf and I have to either copy ALL of it for EVERY congressman, or type in Tancredo's by hand.


2006 Fall 109th Congress Tancredo 73% Conservative


* He voted for line-item veto for the president, which violates the Constitutional provision that ALL legislation is the responsibility of Congress. This power in the hands of Hillary or Osama could be deadly.


* He voted for military tribunals to try anyone designated by the president as an "enemy combatant" (which could include Christians, creationists, home schoolers, gun owners, or YOU). This suspends the right to trial, appeal, representation, evidence, or assumption of innocence.


If someone is truly a terrorist, no doubt he'd be convicted in a normal court. No reason to suspend out constitutional rights.


* He voted for electronic surveillance without needing a warrant. Anyone remember people like Hitler and Stalin doing the same things?


What's the point in being a free American if we are going to give up the very freedoms that we cherish as Americans? Why give up our freedoms to make sure those foreign terrorists don't take them away? That's INSANE.


2006 Summer 109th Congress Tancredo 80% Conservative


Again a Patriot Act type vote like the two above, and a big spending vote. We don't need to give up our rights to be protected from terrorists. Giving up our rights leaves us more vulnerable and less free. That's STUPID.


2005 Winter 109th Congress Tancredo 80% Conservative


Another Patriot Act reauthorization and a big transportation spending bill.


2005 Summer 109th Congress Tancredo 70% Conservative


A couple big spending bills and a UN "reform" bill that gives the UN more power.


2004 Winter 108th Congress Tancredo 100% Conservative


2004 Summer 108th Congress Tancredo 80% Conservative


More big spending bills.


2003 Winter 107th Congress Tancredo 68% Conservative


Voted to increase the national debt limit. Voted for a diluted version of another of Hillary's socialized health care planks. Voted for a $4,700 pay raise (up to $154,700). and he voted to give Bush "fast track" ability for trade agreements, which violates the Constitution he swore to uphold.


He started poor, improved, but then took another dive. I cannot trust Tancredo and will not support him unless I learn some new things about him.
