According to the Conservative Front the email below was forwarded to the Utah Republican Assembly by Bay Buchanan, a conservative activist and author and Pat Buchanan’s sister. She sounds like she is really pumped by Jason Chaffetz’ chances against Chris Cannon in the upcoming primary.
Go, Jason, Go!
Dear Friend,
The race in Utah is heating up and our man, Jason Chaffetz, is closing in on one of La Raza’s favorite congressman, Chris Cannon. You remember the Cannon-he’s famous for saying that in Utah, “We don’t often times make the distinction between legal and illegal [immigrants]”
Two weeks ago, when in Utah for my son’s wedding, I made of point of having lunch with Jason and his wife. I wanted to be certain he was the kind of candidate who deserved the endorsement of Team America and your support as well.
I am excited to tell you he is all that and more. Solid on the issues, Tancredo-good on immigration-Jason is also tough and gutsy. He will not buckle under pressure. Jason is exactly what we need in Washington.
I just spoke with Jason and he is really thrilled with the feel of the campaign. As well he should be-he has closed to within 2% of Cannon!!!
But he needs our help if he is to beat Cannon. The establishment, ethnic lobbyists, and corporate buddies are once again pouring money into Cannon’s coffers. They know he is a solid vote for their amnesty and guest worker bills. They will do all they can to keep Cannon in Congress-and Jason out.
Jason’s knows he needs to get his message right to the people with strong radio ads. He has already cut the ads-now he needs to raise the money to get them on air!
And Chris Cannon is up to his old tricks. His website has an outrageously misleading video on immigration in which Cannon claims to be against amnesty!! We need to help Jason get the facts out about Cannon’s record and Jason will win this congressional seat.
He needs our help and he needs it now. If there is anyway you can make a contribution to him please do so TODAY. Jason has promised me that all the money Team America raises for him will be used to buy radio Your generous contribution will be used for Jason’s radio buy.
If you want to make your contribution directly to his campaign at his website. Otherwise contribute to Team America and mark in the comment section “For Jason”. We will then send Jason-overnight-a check for the total amount of earmarked contributions. (Team America keeps no portion of contributions earmarked for candidates.)
Thanks again for everything you do to protect and secure this nation.
Warmest regards,
Bay Buchanan
The quote below is from the website.
2% is likely within the statistical margin of error. Jason can win this election. The people of Utah are tired of Cannon’s empty rhetoric and constant inaction. Glenn Beck told his listeners today about the 6,000 people who have been killed along our border with Mexico over the past couple of years by violent gangs. Our legislators knew almost nothing about it. This is why we need strength in Congress. We need someone who can shake those dullards out of their sleepy comfort. Congress needs a new spine. Chris Cannon has failed us in that regard.
Let’s really hit Cannon hard in the next few weeks. Go Jason!

This is a good place to state how much I valued Bay Buchanan’s support for Romney during the primaries. She was an astute spokesman for Mitt - tireless, knowledgeable, and no one ever got the best of her - and they tried! She’s one of the sharpest pencils in the pack!
Also - Glenn Beck… I LOVE THIS GUY! I just learned about him this winter and I like his conservative ideology, his down-to-earth style, and his wonderful humor.
Regarding Jason Chaffetz -he sounds like he is another “Border Buddy.” If we all park our chariots for a day we could send the chubby chunk of change saved on gasoline to help champion Jason’s campaign. Cheers to Chaffetz!

Not all of us in Utah are ready to jump on the Chaffetz bandwagon. This guy knows how to get people riled up, appeals to the angry type — uses very divisive language. Not my guy, thanks.

You omitted Ms. Buchanan’s greatest credential–former Treasury Secretary under Ronald Reagan. She knows conservatism! I love that girl!

2thepoint,
You are spot-on about sending money to the Chaffetz campaign. As we all know, it’s very difficult ejecting an incumbent from office and sometimes cold, hard cash can make the difference.

Thanks, John, for the website info. If we all send in a little, it will add up!
