Largest 3rd Party Presidential Candidate Says Latest Amnesty Bill Affront to Soldiers: Urges Voters to Show Outrage In November
Constitution Party's Chuck Baldwin Only Candidate Voicing Ire Over Senate's Underhanded Pro-Amnesty Ploy

Lancaster, PA (May 20, 2008) America's fastest-growing and largest third party based on voter registrations (Ballot Access News) points to yet another ‘in-your-face' pro-amnesty bill as further proof the two parties controlling government have ignored the will of the American people on the issue of illegal immigration.

"What the pro-amnesty elitists could not do in the sunshine, they are attempting to do under cover of darkness," noted Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin (www.baldwin2008.com)

"Inexcusable. That is the only way to describe the fact that both parties have tried to hoodwink the American people. By attaching an amnesty provision to a bill designed to provide for our soldiers in Iraq, the Senate Appropriations Committee's Iraq Supplemental Funding bill is being used as a vehicle to give a free ride to illegals," Baldwin added.

Long critical of illegal immigration and the two party collusion that has allowed it to continue unchecked, Baldwin further noted, "Will elected officials who keep ignoring the will of the people on illegal immigration stop at nothing, even if it means using the honor of our soldiers to push yet another velvet-glove amnesty bill?"

The bill contains provisions which would grant upwards of a million and a half illegal workers and their relatives amnesty.

"The language in this bill uses a chicken-little approach to push amnesty - falsely claiming farmers won't have the seasonal help they need without this provision. Fact is, agricultural workers using H-2 visas could come here, work on farms and then return to their native countries. This is the way it was done for years in this country. Now we have millions of illegals who come here initially as farm workers and often times leave those farm jobs and become a burden on the infrastructure of the country. The taxpayers' backs are breaking by having to pay to educate, incarcerate and medicate those here unlawfully," Baldwin noted.

High website traffic at www.constitutionparty.com in the wake of the party's nomination of the staunch secure-borders, anti-amnesty presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin, shows Americans are considering the third party option in November in light of the likelihood that pro-amnesty GOP contender John McCain and pro-amnesty Democrat contenders Clinton and Obama would be their other ballot options.

"I am the only Presidential candidate who has the will and determination to protect the United States from illegal immigration." Baldwin said.
