John,

Got it straight from the horse's mouth.  Tom Tancredo was on for a talk show 
host out of town today here in Denver for 3 hours.  He explained exactly how 
it is done and he told a lot more that was enough to make you cry.  He said 
they even call your highest dollar supporters to try and get your financial 
backers to change your vote by calling you.  He had a well known congressman 
call him into his office and tell him, Tom, if you keep being so hard headed 
and voting against what the president wants, George W Bush was the president 
at this time, this well known congressman said, You are going to ruin your 
career.  Tom said he looked at the man in shock.  Then he said, Sir, you 
might have convinced me to change my vote with any thing but with what you 
just said.  He said, I never came to Washington to have a career for the 
rest of my life.

Phil.
