Advisory about fake Jan 3 protests against Obama

This advisory is being sent on New Year's Day 2015 to all activists and organizations fighting against illegal immigration and the Obama-McConnell-Boehner Amnesty Plot.

There is a Facebook account and Event page under the name Douglas Coggeshall that is making false claims about having more than 250 cities and towns organized to protest against Obama and Boehner and their amnesty for illegal aliens on Jan. 3.

While this event page is designed to look, sound, and operate like our protest coalition it is not us and the person behind it is refusing to clear up that confusion or work in coalition with us.

This event page claims to have more than 250 cities organized yet at the time of this alert only 224 people have joined the event and there appears to be no backing preexisting organization behind this event page that heavily imitates our past language, events, and strategies...

While we have challenged them to produce a list of these towns and locations, no list has been presented. The language being used on the event page is exceptionally similar to the language that has been used by ALIPAC and Overpasses for America to conduct more than 600 protests in 2014 (click to access record of event times and locations) with Americans protesting in more than 300 towns on January 18, 2014.

PLEASE ADVISE ALL MEDIA AND ACTIVISTS THAT THESE CLAIMS OF PROTESTS ON JAN 3, 2015 ARE NOT ORIGINATING FROM US AND NOT FROM ANY KNOWN OR VETTED LEADER OR ORGANIZATION PREVIOUSLY INVOLVED WITH OUR MOVEMENT!

We have chosen to issue this advisory because while some Overpasses for America protest leaders in Georgia and Florida have signed on with the Coggeshall Jan 3 protest, none of the other Overpass state groups are on board and none of the more than 20 organizations that worked in coalition on such protests in 2014 have joined in.

In fact, several of the leaders of national groups have asked the Douglas Coggeshall Facebook account to not hold protests on Jan 3 because more than 80% of our nation is below 32 degrees right now and because organizing ground protests at this time diverts time and attention away from the calls to Congress we need asking Republicans to dethrone John Boehner for conspiring with Obama on amnesty!

There is a danger that highly biased pro illegal alien amnesty blogs and media will begin crowing on January 4 that our movement against Obama and Boehner failed to manifest at expected nationwide protests on Jan 3, when in fact our movement is not behind this Facebook page or effort!

Please alert all of your contacts that these Jan 3 protests are not originating from anyone from within our national illegal immigration protest coalition and that the person or persons behind this Facebook event page is claiming to have more cities organized than we did back in July of 2014 when we had more than 20 organizations working together!

While we cannot be sure if the person behind this is a well intentioned activist that is being reckless and refusing to honor the wishes of known and vetted leaders on this, or if this is a more sophisticated attempt to cause confusion and embarrassment to our protest movement, we want everyone to focus on calling Congress with us to ask them to FIRE BOEHNER when they vote for Speaker on Jan 6 and join our next national wave of Overpass protests scheduled for March 27-30!

We hope this document being placed online and circulated on January 1, 2015 will server to protect our movement against Obama and Boehner from any false claims that our movement failed to muster on Jan 3 because our protest coalition is not behind this claim of protests on Jan 3.
