Rapid Response Tea Parties Against Amnesty Bring Unity
November 17, 2009
by William Gheen
President, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC ALIPAC
Our Tea Parties Against Amnesty outmatched the opposition with less funds and media support, we have the momentum, and opposition attempts to thwart our events have backfired on them!
After President Obama's key ally Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) announced he would file Amnesty legislation this year to turn millions of illegal aliens in America into voters, immigration enforcement groups such as ALIPAC and NumbersUSA, and Rightmarch sprang into action.
While our strategies and efforts played a key role in defeating Amnesty legislation in 2006 and 2007, and we have dominated the pro-illegal immigration factions in almost every state legislation battle in 2008 and 2009, we know that it will take something truly historic for the American public to triumph over Amnesty this time.
So we took a gamble and called for Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration to form quickly across the nation. With less than 30 days to prepare, the results were dramatic and encouraging.
In less than 30 days, we had protests and events arranged in more than 50 towns and cities across America!
With less than a month to respond and only a few thousand dollars to spend, we were able to match or exceed Congressman Luis Guitierrez's multi-million dollar Amnesty legislation launch party that took place in only 20 cities on October 13 of this year after several months of planning time! We exceeded his number of events and exceeded the number of Americans participating as well!
We outmatched Guitierez and his faction on the ground with a complete absence of national media coverage on our side. His events were promoted heavily by Spanish language national news sources like Telemundo and Univision backed by hundreds of spanish language radio stations.
We were outspent over 100 to 1, had less time, had less media support in advance and we still exceeded their efforts and that is because 80% of America's legal citizens side with us!
Since our November 14 events were just warm-ups for larger operations in the spring, we feel our current momentum and recent successes will manifest as much larger operations that will dwarf our opposition.
Some events were small with only 10-20 people,while others had hundreds of attendees. Somewhere between 3,000 and 5,000 people turned out for these rapid response Tea Parties, despite the fact that there was no national press coverage and very limited local coverage of the events beforehand!
We were able to organize more than 50 cities and towns with thousands of people through Internet communications, social media sources like Facebook and Twitter, and the help of existing Immigration Enforcement, Tea Party, and 9/12 groups, leaders, and activists!
Our initial efforts are a great prelude to much larger operations in the spring of 2010, when this push for unpopular Amnesty legislation will be the top issue in America. We believe we can have much larger crowds and over 100 cities organized by then.
Our events held near traffic were warmly greeted with honking horns and thumbs up from the vast majority of motorists responding. Sure, the illegal alien supporters scowled and engaged in lewd gestures but it was clear they only represent a very small fraction of the public who surrounds us.
We had talk radio show hosts, live bands, organization leaders and many candidates for public office, including candidates for Congress speaking at almost half of our events.
While we have a lot of pro-amnesty opposition to us in the 'old guard' media who refuses to tell people about such events before they happen, our press coverage after these events is excellent.
Our message got out loud and clear on FOX News on Sunday, Nov. 15, and as you can see by the collection of articles on our homepage at alipac.us, our Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration generated a lot of press across America. We encourage all of you to read these articles at ALIPAC to see how we bypassed the biased news wire services such as the Associated Press and Reuters and delivered our message to millions of Americans despite their information blockades.
We spoke out and we were heard, and the results are that a sustained wave of new supporters are coming in to ALIPAC as people rush to sign up for our e-mail alerts, and our Facebook and Twitter accounts, which are now the strongest social media accounts on either side of the immigration debate!
Getting people to rapidly join the ALIPAC and NumbersUSA e-mail alerts systems remains one of our top priorities as these two groups will be spearheading the effort to stop Amnesty legislation in Washington, D.C. in 2009 and 2010. Please make sure you are on those lists and that everyone you know is as well. We need your support for the fight against Amnesty that is upon us.
Another part of our mission has been to push Luis Gutierrez and Obama back on their time line. Obama and the Senate are already retreating to 2010, but Gutierrez had threatened to file Amnesty legislation before the end of October. Thanks to your efforts, we have pushed him into retreat and his latest threat is to file the Amnesty bill before the end of November.
Gutierrez is having a national conference call with his activists base tomorrow, which is Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009. We will know soon if our Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration are victorious in pushing him back to file his bill in 2010 as we have hoped!
We are trying to push the Gutierrez / Obama Amnesty legislation timeline back into 2010, because we know we will have a better chance of defeating this legislation for a fourth time in 2010 because it is an election year.
At most of the 50+ Tea Parties Against Amnesty & Illegal Immigration across America, we had someone read a long list of polls and surveys that show exactly where America stands on this issue. This series of polls discredit the handful of designer polls that lie to lawmakers and the public claiming that a majority of Americans favor a path to citizenship for illegals. Our numerous polls show clearly that 80% oppose any path to citizenship, taxpayer benefits, or special legislation to benefit illegal aliens.
Incumbent members of Congress will become very hesitant to proceed with the Gutierrez / Obama Amnesty legislation especially after watching New Jersey Governor Corzine go down in flames after pushing similar legislation during his election year!
Our Tea Parties Against Amnesty and Illegal Immigration are fresh on the minds of the public and part of our strategy is to gather up the resulting backlash against this new push for Amnesty.
President Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, instead of looking for more traitors in the U.S. government like the Fort Hood infiltrator, are responding to us already and released pro-Amnesty statements less than 48 hours prior to our Tea Parties Against Amnesty.
With almost 80% of Americans on our side against this legislation, we are in a perfect position to unify Americans. Our Unity will go beyond unifying immigration enforcement groups, Tea Party groups, and 9/12 groups. Our plans are to unify Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Our plans are to unify blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans. We will unify as the AMERICANS! And those pushing this nationally destructive, ridiculous Amnesty legislation are TRAITORS against We The People of the United States!
Of course these traitors will try to divide us any way they can. They will screech false charges of racism; they will try to pit Republican against Democrat and Democrat against Republican. They will attack with their fleet of biased bloggers and reporters, but we can turn those attacks against them with ease.
The more these pro-Amnesty faction members attack us and attempt to falsely malign us, the stronger we become due to the combination of how strongly the public aligns with our side.
While more than 95% of our Tea Parties proceeded without serious problems, there were flash points in Phoenix, St. Paul, and Ft. Lauderdale.
Not only did we outnumber Luis Gutierrez's protests in D.C., but the fervent calls among illegal alien supporting groups yielded less than 200 counter protesters up against our 3-5,000 Tea Party attendees.
In Phoenix, some Neo Nazis tried to show up despite the fact we told them they were unwelcome at our events and were pushed back by our supporters, but not before one of them shoved a veteran and senior citizen to the ground. We have made it clear that radical racist groups like the National Council of La Raza, MS-13, the KKK, Stormfront, Neo Nazis, MALDEF, and LULAC are no to be tolerated at our events and we made that clear in Phoenix.
We are looking into this incident to determine if these caricatured racist clowns with a rebel flag and picture of Hitler on a towel were actually racists dumb enough to assist the pro-Amnesty crowd or if they saboteurs on the payroll of the pro-Amnesty George Soros groups.
In St. Paul, anarchists got in the middle of our Tea Party on the state capital steps and harassed people. One was even able to lie his way to the podium, where he lambasted Americans of European decent and claimed they were illegals, responsible for mass violence and genocide, and should be deported.
The worst incident took place in Fort Lauderdale where communist supporters of the Obama / Gutierrez Amnesty bill that belong to a group called ANSWER FL (put in acronym for ANSWER) rallied a small group with an email that pronounced "we are calling on all people to come out tomorrow, to organize a militant confrontation with the so-called "tea baggers." Beating back these forces will require us to organize together, take the streets, fight the racists wherever they show their faces and drive them out of every community.""
The pro-Amnesty ANSWER-FL group violently attacked two Tea Party protesters that were simply trying to document their signs which bore the image of notorious communist and murderer Che Guiverra.
The video of this incident has been released by ALIPAC and is going viral on the Internet today. Pro-Amnesty supporters are continuing their assault on civil rights by making death threats and derogatory comments towards Americans of European descent beneath the video.
These aggressive attempts to violate the civil rights of Americans are backfiring on the pro-Amnesty crowd today. In fact, these antics may have just blown any chance they had of passing Amnesty in 2009 or 2010. While 80% of Americans reject Amnesty, a higher percentage reject communists, fascists, and those that use lies, aggression, and violence to try and impose their political will over others.
The fact that so few tried to oppose us during these events and the fact we are only being challenged by radicals on both ends of the spectrum speaks to the fact that our movement is truly a movement of mainstream America.
We now have street level protest folks working hand in hand with seasoned citizen lobbyist and those that have been calling, faxing, and e-mailing congress about illegal immigration now have a new wave of energized supporters from the Tea Party and 9/12 ranks!
Many of the 9/12 and Tea Party supporters are happy to now be working with immigration enforcement groups that have substantial track records passing and defeating legislation. through citizen activism. It is our hope that the new fusion of energy with the groups that have the experience and strategies to successfully stop destructive legislation will be a winning combination.
We have to take our hats off and salute the fine organizers and concerned citizens that put these events together and often braved the elements to attend. Our people in Anchorage stood out in ten degree weather. Our fellow patriots gathering in many cities braved pouring rain and snow! While there were some rough edges in some places, we are proud of the dedication and hard work everyone put into these events. It was a learning experience and we can do even better in the next round!
Now we turn all of our attentions to lobbying members of Congress and gearing up with candidates for Congress in the 2010 elections.
There is a full fledged peaceful political revolution brewing in America that will cost large numbers of politicians their jobs next year.
We must continue and intensify our efforts to unify the four out five Americans that oppose Amnesty and other unpopular legislation into a popular political uprising that will truly bring CHANGE to America by placing We The People back in control of Washington, DC and place those that have betrayed the American public out in the streets or into prison where they belong.
Please review all of the press coverage coming in from around the nation about our events and we will have pictures and videos from our many great events on November 14, 2009 assembled for you soon.

What is the best way to find the tea parties. They are not in
our paper, not in our news until it it to late. We live in Weirton, WV, not far from Pittsburgh, Pa or Wheeling, WV. Can you give me any clues? I hate the direction this country is going and writing, calling and emailing congress has done nothing except give me heartburn.

Welcome to ALIPAC, Gnosticbeliever!!
You are at the right place to learn about many of the problems we are facing and link to thousands of people trying to fix them including the Tea Parties.
And I know how you feel. I haven't had a good night's sleep in over 4 years and keep Tums and Mylanta on-hand at all times. But the writing, calling and emailing is and does make a difference. Thank you, and keep up the good work. These letters, calls and emails have stopped amnesty now 3 times and we're gearing up to defeat it again. We do have a fence on the border now, we have 287 (g) now, we have E-verify now, we have statistics and information now, we have Congressional investigations now, we have 2 US Border Patrol Officers freed from prison they were sent to for doing their jobs now, we have 4 times as many US Border Patrol Agents on the job at the borders, we have multiple state legislations that authorize state and local police officers to enforce their new state immigration control laws, we have Sheriff Joe taking on DOJ ahd DHS, ICE work-place raids, enforcement of "no match letters", and so much more than we had just 4 short years ago, plus we have a measurable reduction in illegal immigration, due to a combination of the increased law enforcement and new programs as well as the collapsed economy that illegal immigration contributed to causing.
There is much more work to do, but there has been meaningful progress, as hopeless as it seemed just 4 short years ago to the point where both the tide and the sentiment are turning.

Welcome, Gnosticbeliever! Roam the archives here and see how big this problem has become and see what the pro-amnesty groups are doing.
And definitely write and call to put pressure on Congress. Few Americans have the money to hire lobbyists to visit congressmen, but we can yell, and yell loud.

This reminds me of a rally at a Simi Valley church a couple of years ago. Around 100 Patriots showed up on Sunday morning to protest the Church’s giving shelter to Elvira Arellano, so that she could avoid deportation. But there were a few “skinheads” that wanted to protest with us. When one of our main Patriots realized early what was going on, we politely asked them to leave.
But around 2 months ago, I saw a special documentary program on TV. An official from the Southern Poverty Law Center was commenting about racism in America. Then they showed a scene from this Simi Valley church protest! The skinheads managed to mingle into our group in the early stages, and so the TV camera caught footage of it! Then this SPLC official kept on trying to explain how “meaningful immigration reform” was being resisted by racist groups.
Geez, talk about spinning the news. This TV documentary news item spun around 180 degrees, right on its head.

Gnosticbeliever---the national site for the tea party patriots is teapartypatriots.org. You will find links to local tea party people on that site. Welcome to the tea party world!

fubhodotnet - Welcome to ALIPAC.
Great video of your Anti-Amnesty Tea Party. I really like the brief commentary explaining what was going on. I think it was a good idea to have separate clips of each speaker, if people want to listen to specific ones. Sometimes when the whole Tea Party is filmed in its entirety, from beginning to end, the videos can get a little long. (The event doesn't necessarily seem long when you're at them.)
Hopefully, we'll have more Anti-Amnesty Tea Parties in the near future! I'd like to film one next time.

William,
I am a Tea Party Patriot and do not support the Neo Nazis. However, to be fair in the confrontion between Veteran and the Neo Nazis, the veteran approached him and struck first, then the Neo Nazis shoved back and was legally within his right to do so. I was there. I saw it unfold. Here is a video tape of the incident. http://www.azfamily.com/news/Immigration-rally-gets-heated-when-neo-Nazi-group-shows-up-70120332.html. The rest of the day went without incident. However, I understand the veteran passion, but we must resist being baited.
This is something to celebrate, our movements coming together to fight the issues that matter to us all.
I was at the April Tea Party rally in Portland Oregon, and found so many people, who although we differed on political parties, and possibly even some beliefs, we all agreed that this nation has taken a downturn due to the radical interests of minority and special interests.
Speaking up is the only way to defeat this, as we are a majority and can tell them that they are an minority and to sit down and shut up, they do not represent this nation.
I happen to believe that these groups comprise a very small fraction of the citizens of this nation, and the actual majority, is upwards to 90-95% of Americans who hold more "conservative" values for themselves and that of their nation. These people have simply been too busy with working and living, and assumed they could trust politicians. I can only hope they wake up as see things have started to spiral down, and that they get involved with us. _________________ “In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned.

Terrytraylor,
The Neo Nazis were warned publicly to stay away from all of these events. Hitler is universally despised except for by a small group that represents less than 1% of Americans.
Waving that towel with Hitler on it in the face of a Veteran that fought the fascists was completely reprehensible. Pushing a Sr. Citizen down like that was an act of violence against a person.
Our events are under attack from communist and nazi extremists on both sides that want to see us fail so they will be the only game in town and mainstream America will be forced to pick between their repugnant ideologies.

I was feeling like all was lost, thank heavens there are folks like you keeping us informed. We have lost so much with this administration and Bush and Clinton should have promoted this country instead of trade agreements and selling us to the wolves. Thank all of you. I will search through the older articles and get in touch with the tea party organization. We must take this country back and allow every voice be heard.

YES! That's the spirit! All is never lost in America. Winning a losing battle is what we as Americans were born and raised to do, Gnosticbeliever, it's just happens to be our generation's turn to do it. So lets all roll up our sleeves, put on our Smart Caps, type, donate, email, fax, march, protest, buy bumper stickers, tell our friends and strangers what is happening to our country and bombard the US Congress and White House, every Governor's Office and General Assembly, every Mayor, County Commissioner, Sheriff, Police Chief, School Board, District Attorney and Judge in the country with the simple clear message "The American are Here, We're Awake, and if you don't secure our borders, towns, cities, states and nation against illegal immigration, get these illegal aliens out of our work places, off our streets and out of our country and keep them out, then your political careers are ... OVER."
It's not complicated. It's very simple.
