Saturday evening, the Iowa Republican party put on its Annual Lincoln Day Dinner in Des Moines - about a thousand people attended. All but two of the presidential candidates spoke. Tom Tancredo spoke right after dinner and told them that our leaders -- those who have been charged with the responsibility of defending our land, our culture and our sovereignty--refuse to do their jobs.
