Thread: 100 Big-Name G.O.P. Donors Urge Members of Congress to Back Immigration Overhaul

I am still working on this list, but I am going to need help in order for William to have this information by Thursday. So far I have the following:

Spencer Abraham
Andy Ammons
Justus "Judd" Ammons
A. Scott Anderson
Brad Bailey
John Barnes
Lisa Barnes
Frank Baxter
Mike Birck
Boysie Bollinger
Norman Braman

There is a lot of information on these people to pick through, and it is time consuming. If anyone can jump in and help it would be appreciated.

This two party system needs to be shaken up in the upcoming mid-term elections. Even if Democrats take back control of the House, the GOP needs to be dealt a hard blow to give a viable third party a two year window of opportunity to rise up and sweep both Congress and the White House in 2016 on the backs of disillusioned Americans fed up with the current situation, and usher in a new era of politics this century. Enough with the "lesser of two evils" stupidity, this is how we got Romney. I was ridiculed for not supporting Romney back then, but I sincerely hope those misguided folks have leaned how wrong they were.

I was done with the GOP after the convention in Tampa. The GOP's dispicable behavior at county and state conventions continued on to the National Convention in Tampa. There is video evidence that supports a lot of what when on and anyone can watch them.

What makes you think that I voted for ANYONE just because they had an R beside their name?! And yes, Democrats and Republicans in Washington are mostly 2 sides of the same coin. BUT, there is not a third party out there that the media will allow an equal, or anywhere close to equal, chance against the big 2. There are many republicans who are NOT happy with the way the party is being run, and I, as well as others, have been fighting the GOP establishment to try to bring it into line with the grassroots. We are making progress but it is slow going. Personally, I pray the Dems don't get control of the House because we can kiss America good-bye if that happens! We really need term limits and tough laws and limits against the lobbying $$$ that sways so many. And why does the GOP need to be dealt a "hard blow" and not the Dems? There are GOP Congress members out there fighting for what is right, not a lot of them to be sure, but we're getting there. Just a few more votes and Justin Amash's amendment to stop the Govt from collecting all our data would have passed!

Thankfully, there are republicans in my state who were in Tampa and who are attending RNC meetings and pushing to get these stupid rules changes undone. Our state chairman will be taking a resolution passed by our state party to the next RNC meeting in Boston (State chairs are members of the Committee).

These are long, but as I was reading them it was apparent to me to be very clear who these people are.

Justus "Judd" Ammons, CEO and President, Ammons Mountain Properties
Call Toll Free: (866) 689-7525
• (82 689-5555 • 822 Crooked Creek Road • Mars Hill, NC 28754
Residential land developer, Asheville, NC, and author of Don't Wish You Had,Be Glad You Did -- a book of my life's lessons told in short stories.
Mars Hill, North Carolina
　
About the Developer
Born in the mountains, Justus "Jud" Ammons has been building and developing for more than 40 years.
Jud Ammons has developed golf courses, retirement and residential communities and commercial properties from the North Carolina coast to the mountains. Mountain Traditions is Jud’s newest community just minutes from downtown Mars Hill where he was born and where his family still has deep roots.
Jud’s way of developing is not to leave anything to chance. That is why Mountain Traditions is a debt free community
— assuring owners that everything will be finished.
His vision for Mountain Traditions is to create an environmentally friendly community where privacy, convenience and comfortable living are experienced. His focus is to preserve the natural beauty and encourage a slower pace of life
— where you can enjoy family, friends and making memories.
Jud has received numerous building, conservation and beautification awards over the years. But his family is the most important thing to him (though some might argue that his prize-winning beagles run a close second!). His greatest source of pride is that all four of his children have achieved success in their own right and, in the process, invest themselves in a tradition of service to others.


Justus "Jud" Ammons
Jud Ammons grew up on a farm in the North Carolina mountains, where his work sharecropping and plowing gardens showed early signs of the entrepreneur he would become. At NC State University, he worked his way through building models for the NC State Fair and School of Engineering, and doing odd jobs including starting a laundry pickup business. His senior year he worked 40 hours a week as an engineer for the State of North Carolina. Extra-curricular activities included Student Council, membership in AZ honorary fraternity, and presidency of FarmHouse Fraternity.
After graduation, he served in the US Air Force, then worked as a department head with CP&L. However, when he stepped out on his own to start Ammons Construction Company, Ammons set his foot on a path that would change the face of Raleigh, and enrich the quality of communities far and wide.
Since that day, he has built, owned and operated major subdivisions, day care facilities, golf course communities, industrial parks and shopping centers across North Carolina. In every case, he has gone above and beyond to create quality communities, always guided by his motto: "Let it be pretty."

A savvy businessman, Ammons was driven by his desire to meet the needs of the people of Raleigh. His work on the City Task Force inspired him to build Eagle Chase Subdivision to provide attractive, affordable housing and recreational amenities in Southeast Raleigh. To increase investment and jobs, he developed EastPark, one of the largest industrial, business and office parks in the Triangle.
Encouraged by seniors in his church, Ammons developed Springmoor Retirement Community, and has managed it for over twenty years. Springmoor is an integral part of Greystone, where Ammons pioneered the concept of a planned urban development incorporating amenities that allow residents to live, work, play, worship, and go to school in a cohesive community.
Jud’s happiest days are spent with his four children and thirteen grandchildren. His hobbies include NASCAR events, raising champion beagles and attending NCSU sporting events.

Ammons has served his profession as president and board member of the Raleigh-Wake County Home Builders Association, and as director of the National Association of Home Builders. His community service includes leadership on the County Planning Commission, Raleigh Greenway Commission, and Raleigh Bicentennial Commission. He is a founder of Greystone Baptist Church and has served as deacon, Sunday School teacher and trustee. He has served on several legislative study commissions, as a member of the volunteer fire department, and a trustee of Mars Hill College.

A generous philanthropist, Jud and his wife Jo Ellen are benefactors of Mars Hill College, Meredith College, NC State University, the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity and numerous other charities. He is active in the Wolfpack Club, and is an alumni leader of FarmHouse Fraternity.
Jud chronicled his life in the book entitled "Don’t Wish You Had, Be Glad You Did," sharing his insights and his belief that dreaming, going for broke and taking risks will lead to a rewarding life. In Jud Ammons’ case, his dreams and risks have enhanced the lives of countless Raleigh citizens.

Bio
Brad is a proud native of Nassau Bay, Texas. He graduated from Clear Creek High School in 1992 and then attended and graduated from Kilgore College (1994) and University of Mississippi (1997) majoring in Marketing and Finance.
From 2000 to 2011, Brad was the Vice President of Operations for three of the Bailey family-owned Houston area seafood restaurants: Sudie’s Catfish & Seafood House (2 locations) and Bailey’s American Grille. Brad quickly learned the importance of hard work and southern hospitality while working every position from dishwasher to general manager in his family’s restaurants. In 2006, Brad was awarded Restaurateur of the Year by the Greater Houston Restaurant Association and the Texas Restaurant Association. He is a former member of the State Board of Directors for the Texas Restaurant Association and a former member of the Executive Committee of the Greater Houston Restaurant Association.　
For many years, Brad has been active in lobbying on the legislative issues that affect the restaurant industry in Texas and across the United States. This passion led Brad to co-found The Texas Immigration Solution in 2012. The Texas Immigration Solution is a 501c4 non-profit organization that develops and advances conservative solutions for the currently broken U.S. immigration policy. The organization provides a voice for U.S. job creators by educating the broader community on the urgent need for comprehensive, conservative and market-oriented reforms of the immigration process. In June 2012, Brad served on the Republican Party of Texas Platform Committee and co-authored the "Texas Solution" immigration platform plank. This was the first time any state Republican Party proposed a solution to repair the currently broken U.S. immigration policy. At the Republican National Convention in August 2012, Brad and The Texas Immigration Solution successfully secured an endorsement of a National Guest Worker Program on the Republican National Platform.
In 2008, Brad was elected as a City Council Member for his hometown of Nassau Bay, Texas. He was recently elected to serve his 3rd term. As a member of Nassau Bay City Council, Brad also serves as the Vice Chairman of the Bay Area Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Secretary of the Board of Directors for the Nassau Bay Economic Development Corporation and a member of the Board of Directors for the Houston Galveston Area Council (H-GAC). Currently, Brad serves as the Nassau Bay GOP Precinct #307 Chairman.
Brad is married to Julie Shuffield of Maben, Mississippi. They have a beautiful daughter, Brynn, who is 8 years old. They are all very active members of the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Nassau Bay, Texas.

John C Barnes 　 Growing　　up on the rapidly expanding Barnes Farming operation, John, Carson and Maxine’s son, learned alot about farming and running a packing house. In addition to working in tobacco, sweet potato, and pickling cucumber fields, John (at age 10) worked on the packing line, making, filling, and stacking boxes of produce. While enrolled at nearby Southern Nash High School, John served as a student government representative and as junior class and FFA chapter president. After graduation, John enrolled at North Carolina State University, where he majored in Agricultural Economics. Even while in college, John worked weekends and summers at home on the farm, overseeing the pickling cucumber operation the entire time.　Upon graduating from NC State in 1987, John came back to the farm and has gradually learned the rest of the business. Now, he has taken over the day-to-day responsibilities for both the farming and packing house operations. In doing so, he oversees the work of 275 full-time employees and upwards of 600 seasonal labor workers. John with NCSPC Foundation Project Director John Kimber

John has also found the time to become involved in various farm and commodity associations. In addition to having served as president of the NC Small Grain Growers Assn., John has served on the NC SweetPotato Commission board and is now a member of the NCSPC Foundation board, which is overseeing the development of new value-added sweet potato products. He also serves as a Nash County director and State Advisory Board member of the North Carolina Farm Bureau.
　
Beyond the farm, John is a member of the Nash County Board of Adjusters and the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission. Recognized as an outstanding young agricultural leader, John was named a Philip Morris Fellow and took part in PM-USA’s Leadership Development Class.
　
John and his wife, Lisa, are parents of three school-aged children.

Chairman & CEO
Spencer Abraham is Chairman and CEO of The Abraham Group, an international strategic consulting firm based in Washington, DC.

After being nominated by President-elect George W. Bush, Spencer Abraham was sworn in as the tenth Secretary of Energy in United States history on January 20, 2001. He began his tenure in the midst of a severe energy crisis that included the California blackouts, declining domestic energy supplies and insufficient international energy trade opportunities. In response, he helped President Bush devise America's first national energy plan in over a decade and oversaw its implementation. As part of this plan, he led efforts to broaden America's international energy partnerships, working with China, Japan, Russia, the E.U., countries in South America and Africa and certain OPEC nations. Secretary Abraham has been a close observer of world energy markets, and under his leadership the Department of Energy conducted a number of short and long-term studies of world oil, gas, electricity and other markets. Domestically, he spearheaded the department's high-tech efforts in the areas of hydrogen fuel cell research and the development and expansion of clean coal technology programs, and provided a strong voice for the reemergence of safe nuclear power. According to the Presidential Management Agenda scorecard, the Department of Energy went from "worst to first" of well-run agencies under Secretary Abraham's leadership.

When he announced his resignation at the end of President's first term, The Washington Times sang Abraham's praises, writing that he "inherited a large and unwieldy agency in post-Cold War drift. He bequeaths [his successor] something much better. Mr. Abraham led his agency with distinction and high integrity." Faced almost immediately with the energy and safety issues of the post 9/11 world, Secretary Abraham distinguished himself by revitalizing and refocusing the Department of Energy on the new homeland security challenges our country faced. Abraham saw to the safety of America's nuclear stockpiles while he played a key international role by dramatically expanding the Department's focus on nuclear nonproliferation programs, negotiating with Russia and other former Soviet states. He created new safeguarding plans that the Washington Post called "great gifts to the nation from Abraham."

Prior to being named Secretary of Energy, Abraham served as an effective and highly productive U.S. Senator from Michigan for six years, where he was the author of 22 pieces of legislation signed into law - an unprecedented accomplishment for a freshman senator. He also chaired two subcommittees: Manufacturing and Competitiveness and Immigration. Always on the cutting edge, he became a leading advocate for technological issues and was one of the first politicians to recognize the importance of establishing a relationship with Silicon Valley's technological entrepreneurs and business leaders. He authored three particularly ground-breaking pieces of technology legislation: the Electronic Signature in Global and National Commerce Act, the Government Paperwork and Elimination Act, and the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. All three were landmarks in the governance of cyberspace and the use of important new technology. A strong supporter of the business community, Abraham consistently endorsed policies that enhanced America's competitiveness and global leadership.

Abraham is also Non-Executive Chairman of AREVA, Inc and a member of the Board of Directors of Occidental Petroleum. In addition, he is a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and a periodic contributor of op-ed articles to the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Weekly Standard and other publications as well as frequently appears as a guest commentator on Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, CNBC and Bloomberg.

Spencer Abraham and his wife, Jane, are the parents of three children. He holds a law degree from Harvard University, where he co-founded the Federalist Society, and is a native of East Lansing, Michigan.

Having served in the President's Cabinet as Secretary of Energy and as a former United States Senator, Secretary Abraham can provide private sector clients with valuable strategic advice and assistance in the nation's capitol. In the Senate, he served on the Judiciary, Commerce and Budget Committees, and chaired the Subcommittees on Immigration and Manufacturing & Competitiveness. Secretary Abraham brings to clients his insight of nearly two decades at the highest levels of domestic and international policy and politics
