Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC)

March 26, 2009
ALIPAC is issuing a national advisory to all local, state, and Federal law enforcement agencies and officers, along with all DHS Fusion Centers, a warning against any reliance upon faulty and politicized research issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Anti Defamation League (ADL).
A national scandal emerged in Missouri, after their MIAC Fusion Center issued an eight page document which made many false claims. The documents attempted to politicize police and cast suspicion on millions of Americans. The 'Missouri Documents', as they came to be called, listed over 32 characteristics police should watch for as signs or links to domestic terrorists, which could threaten police officers, court officials, and infrastructure targets.
Police were instructed to look for Americans who were concerned about unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security, abortion, high costs of living, gun restrictions, FEMA, the IRS, The Federal Reserve, and the North American Union/SPP/North American Community. The 'Missouri Documents' also said potential domestic terrorists might like gun shows, short wave radios, combat movies, movies with white male heroes, Tom Clancey Novels, and Presidential Candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin!
The Southern Poverty Law Center was cited as a research source for the 'Missouri Documents'. Furthermore, the attempt of these documents to cast suspicion of violent and life threatening behavior on millions of Americans who are concerned about these issues is consistent with the regularly released political materials of both the SPLC and ADL.
Since the SPLC was listed as a source in the MIAC Missouri Documents, ALIPAC sent a letter of inquiry to the Missouri Governor Jay Nixon on March 20, 2009 asking for more specific sourcing information.
"When many of us read these Missouri Documents we felt that the false connections, pseudo research, and political attacks found in these documents could have been penned by the SPLC and ADL," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "We were shocked to see credible law enforcement agencies disseminating the same kind of over the top political propaganda distributed by these groups."
Colonel James F. Keathley, Superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol issued a letter of response to ALIPAC and other sources on March 25-26, which states that the Missouri militia documents are being withdrawn, more oversight will be applied to future releases, the Missouri Documents do not meet the high quality standards expected from the MIAC, and that "certain subsets of Missourians will not be singled out inappropriately in these reports for particular associations".
FOX Radio Network is reporting that Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder (R-MO) has asked that Missouri Public Safety Director John Britt be placed on administrative leave. The report also says Kinder has issued a public apology to Presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin.
ALIPAC would like to advise all media sources, law enforcement officers and agencies, that the ADL and SPLC are political organizations, with stated political goals and agendas which are contrary to the candidates, political parties, and millions of Americans besmirched by the MIAC documents.
While both the ADL and SPLC actively market themselves and seek roles as advisers to law enforcement and the media, both groups regularly engage in political tactics like those observed in the now withdrawn Missouri Documents. Materials from one or both organizations contributed to this scandal.
"In the past, these groups have served a helpful role in America by providing information about racist and potentially violent groups like the KKK and Neo Nazis," said William Gheen. "Unfortunately, their mission has drifted into political efforts to paint almost any American or group who opposes their broader political agendas as being associated with racist or potentially violent groups just like what we saw in these scandalous MIAC documents in Missouri."
ALIPAC hopes that future scandals can be avoided by issuing this advisory and promoting awareness of the faulty information distributed to police and media in America by the Anti Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center to prevent future scandals of this nature. _________________ Vox populi vox Dei

The responses & actions by the Governor & Lt. Governor, plus other state officials, validates the activities & actions of Alipac & many other organizations, that some hyper-partisan activist groups & individuals tried to criminalize & vilify, with vicious attacks on their character & the character of their members.
Over the past months we have seen attempts, some subtle - some not so subtle (like this one), to portray those who love this nation, as radicals or more specifically, out of control radicals. The left abhorred efforts to associate President Obama with terrorist Ayers or America hater Rev. Wright. They said it was wrong to portray Obama as anything when associating him with others. They said it was despicable for people to do this.
But now, we see what could have been a full fledged government sanctioned action, to deliberately vilify & criminalize any & all of those who associate with or are members of Alipac & numerous other organizations, & an attempt to portray these organizations with those history has shown were criminal groups. If that is not guilt by association, I do not know what is!
If it was wrong to do this to Obama or other leftists, it is surely just as wrong to do so to Alipac & many others on that despicable document. Perhaps more disturbing is that this document was released by a government entity. This despicable document was released as though it had the official sanction of a state government. The supposed credibility of release by a government body, created the false impression the state accepted, approved, & recognized the contents of that document & those listed, were indisputable fact. I suppose you could say the accusers forgot the trial, huh?
This document & the actions of SPLC & ADL, were as despicable as any in my memory! Their actions were malicious, in the extreme. It surely tried to portray organizations & individuals, as criminals or participants in criminal & terrorist activities. That is why we must understand many on the left are not the innocents they portray themselves to be. They know what they are doing & their actions match those of Marxist - Leninist - Alinsky style activist agitators. Remember, leftist dictators have killed millions of people in this world. They did so under the leftist guise of doing good & for the people. These people easily dismiss the rights of any who may not agree with them!
Your response, is professional & tempered. I applaud you for your restraint. The truth is, what they tried to do using government sanction & authority, was dangerous & despicable & the truth is, they have now gone on record & have proven to us, we must protect ourselves from such pernicious & disgusting attacks on those who love their country. I suspect, their actions could be criminal. I also suspect, they will do this & more. Additionally, I suspect they are doing more behind the scenes than we are aware of, so we must be at attention at all times.
Vigilance - the price of freedom. Pay attention folks, or risk slavery!
Great work Mr. G! Keep it up & know you are NOT alone!
