Thread: Poll Results and Verdict on ALIPAC Name Change

Friends of ALIPAC,

Special thanks to the more than 3,000 of you that took the time to complete our survey about a possible name change for ALIPAC last week.

Here are our poll results and our decision.

We have decided to keep the name Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee because so many of you feel that name has the national recognition and reputation we need to stop Amnesty, elect candidates, and pass or block legislation.

However, we do plan to add a provision to the ALIPAC Platform next week indicating that our organization officially supports reducing current legal immigration levels from the historic high of 1.6 million per year down to more traditional and sustainable levels.

This official change will be released nationally via a national press release and we will explain that the mounting evidence that legal immigrants are being used to replace innocent American workers at a time when we have over 25 million unemployed and underemployed American workers is destructive and harmful to America.

ALIPAC's primary focus will remain on securing the borders and stopping and reversing illegal immigration.

While approximately 10% of our supporters do not favor this change, we hope those of you in that category will continue to support us. We should gain many more supporters by making this change to our platform, since numerous national polls are showing over 80% of Americans now want legal immigration levels reduced.

In fact, our internal poll tells us the following. Of the 3,000 ALIPAC supporters who participated....

2.9% Think current legal immigration levels should be raised.
7.9% Think current legal immigration levels should remain the same.
19.4% Think current legal immigration levels should be reduced.
22.3% Think current legal immigration levels should be drastically reduced.
46.3% Think all immigration should be restricted until this crisis has been stabilized

ALIPAC's official platform will be changed to reflect the views of approximately 88% of our supporters who want legal immigration levels reduced to more traditional and sustainable levels next week.

If you have any suggestions about how this platform addition should be worded, please email your suggestions to WilliamG@alipac.us

While ALIPAC will always strive to do more and to represent your interests, we are pleased to report our poll shows high satisfaction rates for our performance.

Here are the results of our poll about ALIPAC's performance...

"How would you rate your level of satisfaction with ALIPAC's performance in the fight against illegal immigration and Amnesty?"

Highly satisfied - 66.6%
Somewhat satisfied - 24.9%
Neutral - Neutral - 5.2%
Somewhat dissatisfied - 1.1%
Highly dissatisfied - < 1%
No Answer - 1.3%

A 91.5% satisfaction rate is a strong accomplishment for any national organization, but we must do more to reverse illegal immigration and get more Americans participating through ALIPAC!

One thing our poll did prove is that we must do a better job of getting those of you who receive our e-mail alerts and support ALIPAC's efforts to participate as donors and volunteers.

Currently, only 22.7% of our poll respondents identified themselves as yearly donors to ALIPAC. Almost 50% of respondents indicated they never respond to ALIPAC's activist alerts calling for volunteers to take action.

We have grown rapidly over the past year thanks to great support from Tea Party folks and our special events and programs, but we must find ways to get more of our 30,000 ALIPAC supporters engaged as volunteers and donors.

We have read and reviewed all of your comments on the poll as well and we thank you for the wonderful support.

We will make our official announcement about our platform change next week.

Sincerely,


William Gheen and The ALIPAC Team

Always thought the name ALIPAC was perfect. And I've always thought our level of mass legal immigration was border-line insanity. So I'm with you on both counts.

We've got an official number of about 1-and-half million new legal immigrants every year. But I read somewhere that 7 to 8 million new people are applying for U.S. citizenship every year. Whats happening to all these millions of people? I would guess that most of them are sitting right here in our country right now, with endless millions more flooding in next year and the next. Its completely insane. No other country would tolerate this. Its a big, big reason why America as we know it is collapsing before our eyes.

Yes, just saying that something may be technically "legal" doesn't mean it's healthy for the nation, especially in our present condition. This will also help deal with the complainers who say "but there's no straightforward [easy] way to immigrate to America." Well, that's as it should be. Even over on Immigration Voice, a good many of them understand why so many people support ending birthright citizenship. After all, India doesn't allow it, and even they know that America is among a small minority of nations that still has it. If we ever run short of manpower, we can always change our minds and reopen the floodgates and reestablish the alphabet soup of visas.

I'm glad about each of these announcements except the relatively low percentage of those contributing financially and in response to action alerts. Many small contributions combined together mount up.

Yes sad so few feel moved to give their financial support.

This was a good opportunity to have input from those associated with Alipac. It also provided information to help Alipac function better.

Thank you to all who participated, however we do need greater participation.
