"ALIPAC Withdraws From AZ Rallies Over Nazi Groups & Tancredo"

[ck4829]

That is the title of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC's most recent email announcing that it is "withdrawing support for any rallies in Arizona in June to support SB 1070 due to the discovery of racist group involvement and the actions of former Congressman Tom Tancredo".

ALIPAC says they are dropping out because the event is being organized by Dan Smeriglio of Voice of The People USA, who has been "working with skin heads and Nazis" and goes after Tom Tancredo for defending Smeriglio:

The video and screen shots of Dan Smeriglio's Facebook account indicates that he has willingly been working with members or racist skin head groups long after he knew their identities and politics. In fact, Dan's Facebook profile, which remains his main way of broadcasting a rally for June 5, promoted one of Europe's most popular neo-Nazi rock groups until a few days ago.

Unfortunately, our plans to get the skinheads out and away from the Phoenix effort was thwarted, when retired Congressman Tom Tancredo, who had self titled himself as the 'key note speaker' at the June 5 event started telling leaders and candidates to come back to the June 5 rally. Tancredo even claimed that ALIPAC's concerns about Dan Smeriglio were false, when he had not reviewed the video and screen shots which we find to be fairly conclusive.

1. Tancredo was in NW Arkansas last week attempting to stir up enough people to get Arkansas to pass a

bill like Arizona's. He was on the news saying that his dream is for every state to pass a similar law.

4. Just ask Tancredo about his military service. That'll shut him up and send him packing!

That really pisses him off!!

(Tancredo got a deferment due to a mental health issue (depression) so he never had to go fight the Vietnam War, a war he says he supported.)

and a whole lotta DUers want to hide from the truth.
