Dear 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.
Many Thanks,
Tom Tancredo

I would like to say I support Tom Tancredo fully. Unfortunately I have no money to donate because the business in Colorado seem to want to give the jobs to illegal immigrants. I will however vote for Tom and encourage every one I know to do the same.

Thank you Tom for making yourself available to the voters of Colorado and
thanks to the Constitution Party that provides the voters a real choice instead
of having to choose between two unacceptable alternatives.
Now is the time for all real Americans to reject the idea of always choosing
between “the lesser of two evils” which is too often a choice between 2 traitors.
Although, I have no money at this time, I will contribute something as soon as
I get my next check and meanwhile I will spread the word and get as many
others to do so as soon as they can.
With best wishes for success.
Yours truly for our Conbstitutional Republic,
