ALIPAC is alerting the entire nation that Congressman Robert Pittenger (202-225-1976) has been exposed as one of the GOP members of Congress who is working behind the scenes with John Boehner and Barack Obama to pass "immigration reform" Amnesty for illegal immigrants, even though most Republicans are opposed to such Amnesty because it would destroy America's borders forever.

Robert Pittenger has now been added to ALIPAC's list of 36 GOP members of Congress who need to be removed from office and replaced by Republican primary challengers in 2014. These 36 members have taken positions in favor of Obama's Amnesty for illegal aliens while more than 85% of GOP voters oppose it! (click here for list)

On February 13, 2014, ALIPAC and many other Americans received an email from Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook's immigration group called FWD.us (click here to view). The email celebrated that "Rep. Robert Pittenger (NC-9) made it clear that he supports a pathway to legalization for undocumented immigrants, and recognized the economic value of that pathway. This was the first time he clearly articulated his position on the issue."

The FWD.us email led ALIPAC to an article written by Franco Ordonez of McClatchy confirming Pittenger's support for legalizing millions of illegal aliens which would eventually make them into a new voting bloc that could dominate American elections coast to coast.

"Robert Pittenger is attempting to sell the 'secure the borders first' fraud to provide cover for his border destroying Amnesty for illegal aliens, and for doing so we hope GOP voters will recall him with a strong primary challenge in 2014!" said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC and former assistant Sergeant At Arms to Robert Pittenger in the NC Senate. "It is a real shame that in Sue Myrick's previous district we now have an amnesty supporter instead of an amnesty opponent like Myrick. If GOP voters had known Robert Pittenger was going to support Barack Obama on Amnesty for illegal aliens, they would have easily elected Jim Pendergraph instead of Robert Pittenger to replace Sue Myrick in 2012."

ALIPAC hopes that GOP voters of North Carolina will rectify the mistake they made in the last race by electing a candidate like Robert Pittenger who had concealed his support for Amnesty for illegal aliens instead of immigration enforcement proponent Jim Pendergraph.
