As of today, over 3,514 Americans have pledged to donate more than $654,000 to Lou Dobbs, if he decides to run to launch a run for President in 2012.

These pledges of support have been made at the Lou Dobbs fan site www.LouDobbsForPresident.org which is maintained by Americans for Legal Immigration PAC. The site was launched in early 2008 after pro-Amnesty candidates John McCain and Barack Obama won their primaries.

The website has been adjusted to reflect the support for a Lou Dobbs presidential run in 2012 and activity on the site has escalated following the recent news that Lou Dobbs is indeed considering a run for President.

"People are very excited about Lou Dobbs considering a Presidential run," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "If he decides to run, ALIPAC will donate the url and website www.LouDobbsForPresident to his campaign, along with all of the contributor information we have gathered with the website. This will give a Lou Dobbs for President campaign an early boost."

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC has been supporting Lou Dobbs because his show was one of the few national media shows that continued to broadcast accurate information about illegal immigration and America's broken borders.

"One of the great things about Lou Dobbs is that he has been honest and straight forward about his positions on issues," said William Gheen. "We have a very unique opportunity because the candidate's views and concerns have been on public display on television for years. We know where Lou stands and we know that his stances are popular with the American public."

ALIPAC is launching a "Draft Lou Dobbs for President or US Senate" fan page on Facebook today to accompany renewed efforts to attract readers to www.LouDobbsForPresident.org The group hopes that Lou Dobbs and his advisers will be encouraged by the growing numbers of volunteers and donors registering their support at the website and the offer of a pre-existing support network for the campaign. ALIPAC's goal is to achieve over 1 Million dollars pledged by the end of 2009. The site shows the number of supporters, the total funds pledged, and allows people to make comments to Lou Dobbs.

"I look forward to a day when I can hand Lou Dobbs a maximum donation from our PAC, a maximum donation from my family, and a CD Rom disk with a list of donors and our URL for his campaign." said William Gheen. "It would be a refreshing experience to have a candidate for President such as Lou Dobbs who can be trusted, will stand with the American public on issues, can unite Republicans, Democrats and Independents, and who can win the race and put America back on the right track."
