You know your morbid curiosity has been getting the better of you. You've seen his vacant off-screen gaze in the television ads. You've seen the photos. And Jeebus knows you've seen the 16-year old picture used in Taylor mailings and too many newspapers. Now's your chance to lay eyes, ears, and immigration questions on
Congressman Charles Taylor. From an email:
"Please join me and our special guest, Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), at an Immigration Town Hall Meeting taking place on Saturday, September 9th from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm at the Thomas Auditorium in the David W. Sink, Jr. Building, located at Blue Ridge Community College's main campus in Henderson County."
Yes, that Tom Tancredo. The one
endorsed by the white supremacist groups such as Vanguard Group, the Ku Klux Klan, and Stormfront.
"I hope that you will be able to join us in Henderson County next Saturday, September 9th. If you have any questions about this event, please contact my Asheville office at (828) 251-1988."
Yes. Contact Taylor's office (828) 251-1988, and tell the phone-answerer you want to speak to Deborah Potter (Press Secretary) or someone in the Washington office. Ask them why Congressman Taylor is allying with racism's favorite Congressman, Tom Tancredo.
Then, let's show up for the event. Bring your questions. Here's my first query: "Congressman Taylor, Mr. Tancredo has been endorsed by multiple white-supremacy groups. Are you in favor of racism, or are you simply ignorant of Mr. Tancredo's racist supporters and their agenda?"
Bring your video cameras, your audio recorders, your digital cameras, and your wild enthusiasm. We're all invited, so the least we can do is show up and help make Congressman Taylor and his guest feel welcome.
See you there!
